mod_protection is an apache module that integrate basic function of an IDS
(intrusion detection system) and of a firewall (just an emulation for now).
Your apache administrator have only to install mod_protection and define
rules.
Obviously you see that a normal NIDS can't check SSL tunneled stuff and that
mod_protection can.
When a malicious client sends a request that matches on your rules the 
administrator will be warned and the client gets a user defined page or a error
or something that notifies that now he will be persecuted or ...
The warning system just write on a socket, so you can put on the other side
of the socket an application that send you a mail, an SMS, a message in your
favourite IM or a notify in your IRC client, or why not open a message box on
your usual box.

to install mod_protection act as you normally act to install a dynamic apache
module.
If this is your first time please read the INSTALL file or the apache 
documentation (sure the second is better written :) ).

To setup the rules and the http.conf read the USAGE file.
