I'm running some web pages on apache 2.4.
At the moment I can see a lot of connections like these on status-page:
Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req Conn Child Slot Client VHost Request
2-0 - 0/0/5 . 1297.48 944 2482371 0.0 0.00 0.26 82.xx.xxx.xx example.com:7080 POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0
As you can see this connection needs a lot of CPU power and runs for a very long time.
How can I shut down those connections? Mod_Security with Comodo Ruleset did not detect this as an attack.
