WAF-detector - detection and testing of WAF and CDN effectiveness
Waf-detector is a project hosted on GitHub, created by user ammarion. Its main purpose is to detect Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) that are deployed on various websites. WAFs are systems designed to protect web applications from attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. The tool allows users to test whether specific protections are actively in place, which can be crucial for security professionals. Users can leverage simple commands to automate the process of detecting these safeguards on their own or other websites. The project is open to external contributions, encouraging other developers to add new features and improve existing ones.
