Wow- I really like the sound of naxsi. In the past I've used F5's ASM, the WAF built on their big-ip platform. It was powerful though prone to false positives. I don't believe there are any real shortcuts that allow you to build an effective waf without understanding the details of your own webs

Reading a blog from the person that set up the website for Emmanuel Macron, I came across this nginx tip. I would return 444 and add it to my user agent map. But in the simplest form: - # Block WordPress Pingback DDoS attacks         if ($http_user_agent ~* "WordPress") {             ret
