Custom Attack Signatures
- Jul 29, 2025
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.
