Synthesis Apache Mod_Rewrite Terrafrom Automation Bash scripts that take variables from the user and then call terraform scripts to automate standing up apache2 with mod_rewrite in front of C2 servers. Right now, this repo supports standing up redirectors in Linode or Digital Ocean, and I have different scripts for standing up http redirectors versus https redirectors. Since the mod_rewrite redirector setup scripts use a user agent value and optionally a bearer token, these redirectors are not C2 dependent and can work for any C2 that uses http or https.
