...A web application firewall helps protect web apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. 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. ...

...Coraza runs the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to protect your web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the OWASP Top Ten, with a minimum of false alerts. CRS protects from many common attack categories including: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), PHP & Java Code Injection, HTTPoxy, Shellshock, Scripting/Scanner/Bot Detection & Metadata & Error Leakages. Coraza is a library at its core, with many integrations to deploy on-premise Web Application Firewall instances.

The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) is a curated, generic Web Application Firewall rule set that detects and blocks common attack categories across most web apps. It focuses on broad protection—SQL injection, cross-site scripting, local/remote file inclusion, command injection, and protocol violations—without requiring app-specific knowledge. Rules are organized into paranoia levels so operators can tune detection aggressiveness and balance false positives against coverage. An anomaly-scoring model accumulates rule hits per request, enabling nuanced blocking thresholds and easier incident triage. ...

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 runs inside the NGINX event loop, it scales with the web tier and avoids the latency of external proxies. Operators can extend it with custom Lua code, integrate threat feeds, or adapt it to application-specific quirks without recompiling modules. ...

ngx_lua_waf is a web application firewall (WAF) module written in Lua for use with OpenResty (Nginx + Lua). It provides protection against common web attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, file uploads, and malicious bots. The WAF is rule-based, easily configurable, and lightweight, offering real-time defense with minimal performance overhead.
