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 our main repository.
WAFW00F can detect a number of firewalls, a list of which is as below:
$ wafw00f -l
? ,. ( . ) . "
__ ?? (" ) )' ,' ) . (` '`
(___()'`; ??? .; ) ' (( (" ) ;(, (( ( ;) " )")
