Why We're Beating Modsecurity

Modsec is a sloppy tool thats honestly sucky. Its config hell, rule hell and its outdated ash. Its vulnerable to just about EVERY modern attack surface. We are gonna make that change: https://github.com/1rhino2/RhinoWAF/

Just to clarify, we are not a company of any sorts, simply people willing to help.

westurner•3mo ago
How does RhinoWAF compare to other open WAFs like OWASP Coraza WAF, bunkerweb, and SafeLine?

Does RhinoWAF support ModSecurity SecLang rulesets like OWASP CRS? Is there a SecLang to RhinoWAF JSON converter?

Shouldn't eBPF be fast at sorting and running rules?

What are good metrics for evaluating WAFs?

> What are good metrics for evaluating WAFs?

TPR: True Positive Rate (Detection Rate), TNT: True Negative Rate, FPR: False Positive Rate ("ROC Curve")

Accuracy = TP + TN / # Requests

Latency / Detection Time as percentiles

Throughput: response time in ms given requests per second

Time to Virtual Patch, and CI/CD rule deployment integration

DDoS Response Time: How quickly does the WAF mitigate a Layer 7 (application) DDoS attack?

... Rule Management Overhead: MTTT: Mean Time To Tune, Policy Complexity; CI/CD, SIEM/SOAR integration; https://gemini.google.com/share/0d2d1c53bfb0

Is there a good way to go from an OpenAPI / Swagger schema to WAF rules; and then to verify that the rules don't collide? IIUC eBPF does part of this

> Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. It provides a simple flat Layer 3 network with the ability to span multiple clusters in either a native routing or overlay mode. It is L7-protocol aware and can enforce network policies on L3-L7 using an identity based security model that is decoupled from network addressing.
