  WAFW00F

  The Web Application Firewall Fingerprinting Tool.

    — From Enable Security (https://enablesecurity.com)

## How does it work?

To do its magic, WAFW00F does the following:

- Sends a _normal_ HTTP request and analyses the response; this identifies a
  number of WAF solutions.
- If that is not successful, it sends a number of (potentially malicious) HTTP
  requests and uses simple logic to deduce which WAF it is.
- If that is also not successful, it analyses the responses previously
  returned and uses another simple algorithm to guess if a WAF or security
  solution is actively responding to our attacks.

For further details, check out the source code on our [main repository](https://github.com/EnableSecurity/wafw00f).

## What does it detect?

WAFW00F can detect a number of firewalls, a list of which is as below:

```
$ wafw00f -l


                  ?              ,.   (   .      )        .      "
          __        ??          ("     )  )'     ,'        )  . (`     '`
    (___()'`;   ???          .; )  ' (( (" )    ;(,     ((  (  ;)  "  )")
    /,___ /`                 _"., ,._'_.,)_(..,( . )_  _' )_') (. _..( ' )
    \\   \\                 |____|____|____|____|____|____|____|____|____|

## How do I use it?

First, install the tools as described [here](#how-do-i-install-it).

For help you can make use of the `--help` option. The basic usage is to pass
an URL as an argument. Example:
```
$   wafw00f https://example.org

                   ______
                  /      \
                 (  Woof! )
                  \  ____/                      )
                  ,,                           ) (_
             .-. -    _______                 ( |__|
            ()``; |==|_______)                .)|__|
            / ('        /|\                  (  |__|
        (  /  )        / | \                  . |__|
         \(_)_))      /  |  \                   |__|
