WAFW00F identifies and fingerprints Web Application Firewall (WAF) products.
To do its magic, WAFW00F does the following:
- Sends a normal HTTP request and analyses the response; this identifies a number of WAF solutions
- If that is not successful, it sends a number of (potentially malicious) HTTP requests and uses simple logic to deduce which WAF it is
- If that is also not successful, it analyses the responses previously returned and uses another simple algorithm to guess if a WAF or security solution is actively responding to our attacks
For further details, check out the source code on the main site, github.com/sandrogauci/wafw00f.
It detects a number of WAFs. To view which WAFs it is able to detect run
WAFW00F with the -l option. At the time of writing the output is as follows:
$ ./wafw00f -l
