Raptor WAF – Web application firewall using DFA

Raptor WAF is a Open Source Web application firewall tool made in C, utilizes DFA to block SQL infusion, Cross website scripting and way traversal. It is widely use now a days for the following;

  • Block XSS, SQL injection attacks and path traversal with Raptor.
  • Use blacklist IPs to block some users at the config/blacjlist_ip.txt
  • Use IPv6 and IPv4 at communications.
  • At the future Dos protector, request limit, rule interpreter and malware detector at uploads.
  • At the future SSL/TLS.

Compile Raptor WAF

$ git clone https://github.com/CoolerVoid/raptor_waf$ cd raptor_waf; make; bin/raptor

Note : Don’t execute with “cd bin; ./raptor” use full path “bin/raptor”. Need lib pcre to compile.

Example

Up some HTTPd server at port 80 redirect with raptor to port 8883

$ bin/Raptor -h localhost -p 80 -r 8883 -w 4 -o loglog.txt

Copy vulnerable PHP code to your web server directory

$ cp doc/test_dfa/test.php /var/www/html

Now you can test xss attacks at http://localhost:8883/test.php

Other option to run(now with regex, look file config/regex_rules.txt to edit rules):

$ bin/Raptor -h 127.0.0.1 -p 80 -r 8883 -w 0 -o resultwaf -m pcre

Stale entries are the most common reason to flush the DNS cache: a server moves to a new IP, but your OS or browser still routes to the old address. This guide covers how to clear the DNS cache on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and how to flush the separate cache stored inside Chrome and Firefox.
