Use Python To Detect And Bypass Web Application Firewall

Use Python To Detect And Bypass Web Application Firewall Web application firewalls are usually placed in front of the web server to filter the malicious traffic coming towards server. If you are hired as a penetration tester for some company and they forgot to tell you that they are using web application firewall than you might get into a serious mess. The figure below depicts the working of a simple web application firewall: As you can see its like a wall between web traffic and web server, usually now a days web application firewalls are signature based. What is a signature based firewall? In a signature based firewall you define signatures, as you know web attacks follow similar patters or signatures as well. So we can define the matching patterns and block them, i.e. Payload :- <svg><script>alert&grave;1&grave;<p> The payload defined above is a kind of cross site scripting attack, and we know that all these attacks can contain following sub...
