Bypassing Web Application Firewall Workshop eBook

Dear students,

We gathered all the reading materials from the course “Bypassing Web Application Firewall” and prepared a stand alone ebook. While reading this workshop you will examine practical approaches in bypassing WAFs as a part of our penetration test, and, of course, the theory behind WAFs and how they work.

Note: Some of the original course materials, like videos or particular exercises, are not presented in this issue. If you would like to gain access to all the materials, you have to enroll in the course.

The main aim of this e-book is to present our publication to a wider range of readers. We want to share the material we worked on and we hope we can meet your expectations.

Enjoy your reading,

Module 1

Introduction WAFs, WAF Bypassing and techniques

In this module, we will quickly examine how WAFs work in a web server, and we will be introduced to WAF Bypassing and some interesting methods with practical examples, attacking web application firewalls with conventional methods.

1. Introduction to WAFs, WAF types and WAF Bypassing
2. WAF Fingerprinting
3. Automating WAF Fingerprinting with Burp, Nmap and wafw00f
4. WAF Bypassing

 

Module 2

WAF Bypassing with SQL Injection

In module 2, we examine how we can bypass WAF by exploiting SQL Injection vulnerabilities, with various ways such as normalization and HTTP Parameter Pollution.

1. HTTP Parameter Pollution – HPP
2. Encoding Techniques for Bypassing WAF
3. Bypassing WAF with SQL Injection
4. HTTP Parameter Fragmentation – HPF
5. Bypassing WAFs with SQL Injection Normalization
6. Buffer Overflow + SQL Injection = Bypass WAF

 

Module 3

WAF Bypassing with XSS and RFI

In module 3, we will examine more ways of WAF Bypassing, this time containing the Remote File Inclusion and the Cross-Site Scripting and more.

1.  Cross Site Scripting – XSS
2. Reflected Cross Site Scripting
3. Stored Cross-site Scripting
4. Path Traversal
5. Remote and Local File Inclusion

 

Module 4

Securing WAF and Conclusion

Finally, in module 4, we will see some final methods for bypassing WAFs, and prevention methods with practical examples for our WAF implementations.

• DOM Based XSS
• Bypassing Blacklists with JavaScript
• Automating WAF Bypassing
• Bypassing WAF Practical Examples ( Imperva WAF, Aqtronix WebKnight WAF, ModSecurity WAF, and others)
• Conclusion

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Nowadays, the number of web application firewalls (or simply WAFs) is increasing, which results in a more difficult penetration test from our side. So, it becomes a necessity and really important to be able to bypass WAFs in a penetration test. In this course, we are going to examine practical approaches in bypassing WAFs as a part of our penetration test, and, of course, the theory behind WAFs and how they work.
