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. ...
