Defensive Walls for Detecting and Preventing SQL Injection and XSS attacks in Dynamic Content Delivery Network Web Applications

Abstract

There is need for Designing and developing Defensive security walls for dynamic web applications using Content Delivery Networks features etc.WAF is used to secure web server Web Application Firewall (web app). A benefit of getting WAF is, even though there is no validation on the web app, that it is able to detect potential attacks.WAF secure the web application even if WAF itself may vulnerable to attackslike XSS, SQL injection. Four methods of testing are generally used for WAF testing, for example floating, loading, bypassing and foot printing. There are several WAF test tools available, but it seems that only one or two test methods are available. This means that a tester must have many tools and learn how each tool will measure WAF using all the test methods. The objective of this research is to solve this problem by creating a WAF Project X testing tool that offers all methods of testing. Project X was tested and the findings show that its criteria were fulfilled. In addition, Github provides ProjectX to any developer who wishes to upgrade or add additional features.
