...It typically protects web apps from attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, code injection, os command injection, CRLF injection, LDAP injection, XPath injection, RCE, XXE, SSRF, path traversal, backdoor, brute force, HTTP-flood, bot abuse, among others. By deploying a WAF in front of a web application, a shield is placed between the web application and the Internet. While a proxy server protects a client machine’s identity by using an intermediary, a WAF is a type of reverse-proxy, protecting the server from exposure by having clients pass through the WAF before reaching the server. ...

SSHGuard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services. It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using several firewall backends, including iptables, ipfw, and pf.

lua-resty-waf is a web application firewall implemented in Lua for OpenResty/NGINX, designed to run inline at the edge with low overhead. It inspects requests and responses during NGINX phases, applying rule logic and anomaly scoring to detect patterns like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and protocol abuse. Rules are organized into policies with configurable actions—block, log, or allow—and can leverage shared dictionaries for counters, rate limits, and caching decisions. Because it...

This module provides attack surface reduction enhancements against the HTTP Flood Attacks at the web application level. Massive crawling/scanning tools, HTTP Flood tools can be detected and blocked by this module via htaccess, firewall or iptables, etc. (like mod_evasive) You can use this module by including "iosec.php" to any PHP file which wants to be protected. You can test module here: http://www.iosec.org/test.php (demo) Watch the Proof of Concept video:...

BlockSSHD protects computers from SSH brute force attacks by dynamically blocking IP addresses by adding iptables rules.

Authdefender is a filtering application that, in combination with iptables, blocks malicious users from accessing any aspect of the server in question. Malicious users are defined by brute force ssh/ftp attempts and blocked regardless of tcp wrappers.

brutesshd is an application written in c/php in order to prevent bruteforce attacks through ssh. Brutesshd uses iptables/pfctl tools to block this type of attacks

A daemon that creates realtime dynamic, expirable iptables rules to block/drop IP addresses attempting brute-force breakin attacks on a linux host via ssh or other mechanism. Highly customizable and extensible.
