performance hit in using too many if's

[Alt]

Hello,

I don't agree with Robert Paprocki: adding modules like naxsi or modsecurity
to nginx is not a solution. They have bugs, performance hits, need patch
when there's new versions of nginx,...

gariac, you say you send 444 to hackers then use a script to display those.
Why not use fail2ban to scan the logs and ban them for some time. But of
course, fail2ban could also be a performance hit if you have tons of logs to
scan :-(
