WAFW00F is a Python tool to helps in fingerprinting and identifyng Web Application Firewall (WAF) products. It is an active reconnaissance tool as it actually connects to the web server, but it starts out with a normal HTTP response and escalates as necessary.
How does WAFW00F work?
- 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
