How i can prevent a lot of get requests on apache

Posted on October 16, 2016

How i can prevent this type of requests on my server? I’m using a program “webserver stress toll 8” to generate them but can’t prevent and block this access. I try to user mod_evasive on apache and fail2ban, but my settings doesnt work.
