• ✅ Production Ready: All tests verified and validated
• ✅ Open Source: Community-driven and freely available

• SQL Injection (SQLi)
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) - 26 variations
• Remote Code Execution (RCE)
• Local/Remote File Inclusion
• Command Injection
• Path Traversal
• And 6 more...

• NoSQL Injection

# Install FTW (Framework for Testing WAFs)
pip install ftw

# Or use Docker
docker pull coreruleset/ftw

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/varun0chugh/waf-attack-rules.git
cd waf-attack-rules

# Run all tests
ftw run -d ./tests

# Run specific category
ftw run -d ./tests/REQUEST-941-APPLICATION-ATTACK-XSS

# Run with custom WAF endpoint
ftw run -d ./tests --url http://your-waf-endpoint:80

# Generate report
ftw run -d ./tests --output report.json

All tests follow the FTW YAML format:

  author: "Antigravity"
  description: "XSS Attack Tests"
  enabled: true
  name: "941-xss"
tests:
  - test_id: 941100
    desc: "XSS via event handler"
    stages:
      - stage:
          input:
            dest_addr: "127.0.0.1"
            method: "GET"
            port: 80
            headers:

              Host: "localhost"
            uri: "/?q=<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>"
          output:

Test your WAF rules against comprehensive attack vectors:

ftw run -d ./tests --config your-waf-config.yaml

Ensure WAF updates don't break protection:

# Before update
ftw run -d ./tests --output before.json

# After update
ftw run -d ./tests --output after.json

# Compare
diff before.json after.json

# GitHub Actions example
- name: WAF Testing
  run: |
    pip install ftw
    ftw run -d ./tests --url ${{ secrets.WAF_ENDPOINT }}

• Penetration testing
• Red team exercises
• Bug bounty hunting

  timeformat: '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S.%f %Y'

# Run only critical severity
ftw run -d ./tests --exclude low,medium

# Run specific test IDs
ftw run -d ./tests --include 941100,942100

# Skip certain categories
ftw run -d ./tests --exclude-dir REQUEST-975-APPLICATION-ATTACK-POLYGLOT

# Test ModSecurity rules
ftw run -d ./tests \
