IdentYWAF : Blind WAF Identification Tool

identYwaf is an identification tool that can recognise web protection type (i.e. WAF) based on blind inference.

Blind inference is being done by inspecting responses provoked by a set of predefined offensive (non-destructive) payloads, where those are used only to trigger the web protection system in between (e.g. http://<host>?aeD0oowi=1 AND 2>1).

Currently it supports more than 70 different protection products (e.g. aeSecureAirlockCleanTalkCrawlProtectImunify360MalCareModSecurityPalo AltoSiteGuardUrlScanWallarmWatchGuardWordfence, etc.), while the knowledge-base is constantly growing.
