Is mod evasive still available? Does it work? Do people still use it?

Do you use mod evasive? Do people use it or should you wait for when you need it?

I don't use mod_evasive. I tend to just stick to DDoS Deflate or APF/BFD. http://deflate.medialayer.com/

mod_evasive is pretty much useless. It never worked well any time I ever tried to use it and it would block legitimate requests all the time. There are far better ways to reign in HTTP based attacks. Look at throwing nginx in front of apache just for better performance and using deflate + iptables.
