The first all-round open source Web security protection system, more protection than others. OpenWAF is the first fully open source Web application protection system (WAF), based on nginx_lua API analysis of HTTP request information. OpenWAF is composed of two functional engines: behavior analysis engine and rule engine. The rule engine mainly analyzes the individual requests, and the behavior analysis engine is mainly responsible for the tracking of the request information. Rule engine inspired by modsecurity and freewaf(lua-resty-waf), the ModSecurity rules will be implemented using lua. The rule engine can be based on the protocol specification, automatic tools, injection attacks, cross site attacks, information leaks and other security exception request, adding support for dynamic rules, timely repair vulnerabilities.
