Teler-WAF: Enhancing Web Application Security with Go Middleware
Teler-WAF is a comprehensive security solution designed specifically for Go-based
web applications. As an HTTP middleware, it provides an easy-to-use interface for integrating intrusion detection system (IDS) functionality into existing Go applications. Let’s explore its features and the protection it offers:
1. HTTP Middleware for Go Applications:
o Teler-WAF acts as middleware, seamlessly integrating with your Go web application’s routing. o By adding it to your application’s middleware stack, you can enhance security without major code changes. 2. Integration of Teler IDS Functionality: o Teler-WAF leverages the power of teler IDS (Intrusion Detection System). o When a client makes a request to a route protected by teler-waf, the request is first checked against the teler IDS to detect known malicious patterns. o If no malicious patterns are detected, the request proceeds for further processing. 3. Detection of Known Malicious Patterns: o Teler-WAF identifies common web-based attacks, including: ▪ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Prevents malicious scripts from executing in users’ browsers. ▪ SQL Injection: Guards against unauthorized database queries. ▪ CVEs: Covers known vulnerabilities and exploits. 4. Protection Against Bad IP Addresses: o Teler-WAF detects IP addresses associated with known threat actors and botnets. o Blocks requests from these malicious sources. 5. Handling Malicious HTTP Referers, Crawlers, and Scrapers: o HTTP Referers: Filters out unexpected or suspicious HTTP referers based on the application’s URL structure. o Crawlers and Scrapers: Identifies requests from bad crawlers or scrapers that may cause performance issues or attempt illicit data scraping. 6. Defense Against Directory Brute-Force Attacks: o Teler-WAF guards against directory brute-force attacks by identifying common directory names or dictionary-based attacks. 7. High Configurability: o Teler-WAF is highly configurable, allowing you to tailor it to your application’s specific needs. o Whitelist specific types of requests based on their URL or headers. 8. Daily Updated Datasets: o Teler-WAF uses datasets updated daily to track known vulnerabilities and attack patterns. o External resources include information from projects like PHPIDS, CVE lists, and collections from Nginx Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker and Crawler Detect. 9. Net/HTTP Handler Integration: o Teler-WAF comes with a net/http handler, making it easy to integrate into any Go framework. o You can seamlessly add it to your existing application routing.
