What problem it solves

Web applications can be exposed to malicious HTTP/S traffic, including injection attempts, automated abuse, and unauthorized access. A web application firewall can filter and monitor traffic between an application and the Internet, block malicious requests, and keep unauthorized data from leaving the app.

Key features

• Web Attack Blocking — Blocks common web attacks by placing protection between Internet traffic and the web application, including SQL injection, XSS, code injection, SSRF, path traversal, and related threats.

  Source: README

• IP-Based Rate Limiting — Throttles traffic that exceeds defined limits to help defend applications against DoS attacks, brute-force attempts, traffic surges, and other forms of abuse.

  Source: README

• Anti-Bot and Authentication Challenges — Presents challenges that distinguish human visitors from crawlers and bots, and can require visitors to enter a password before access is granted.

  Source: README

• Dynamic HTML and JavaScript Protection — Dynamically encrypts HTML and JavaScript code served by the protected web server for each visit when dynamic protection is enabled.

• Gateway and Platform Integrations — Provides integration components for AI-assisted management, Kubernetes ingress traffic, and Kong Gateway deployments.

Who it may suit

Inference: This project may suit operators and development teams that want a self-hosted web application firewall in front of their applications, particularly when they need attack filtering, rate limiting, bot controls, or gateway integrations.

Topics to discuss

• Which traffic sources or attack patterns should the deny rules cover first?

• How should Monitor Mode be used when evaluating new deny rules?

• Which deployment and integration patterns should receive more community guidance?
