Custom Attack Signatures

We are migrating an ASM policy with custom attack signatures created by the user.

 

How can we translate this to an XC configuration?

These are SQL injection signatures. 

 

Thank you in advance

  • Currently, F5 XC does not support creating custom attack signatures. However, service policies offer an alternative by detecting patterns in HTTP requests and block those that match.

  • Miguel_Alvarado​  F5 XC Distributed Cloud  to support custom signatures is a good idea as service policies are not very good for POST request body match even if the option is there or they do not support matching on all HTTP headers or query parameters for example as the header or query parameter names need to be explicitly specified and can't be a wildcard.

     

    Here is an https://www.f5cloudideas.com/ideas/CNSL-I-653 that we can vote on.
