Some questions about ASM module from a beginner
Hello all,
So I finally was able to perform some tests on a lab on VMWare Workstation on a lab with Hack-it-yourself PHP. I reproduced one attack to see the behavior of both policy construction (automatic and manual): . Here are the scenario for both construction mod after creation :
Manual:
Signature stagging : enabled
Renforcement Mod: Blocking
Learn Alarm Block checked for 3
ERP: 7 Days
Automatic:
Signature stagging : enabled
Renforcement Mod: Blocking
Learn Alarm Block checked for 3.
Policy Builder Enabled
ERP: 7 Days
Policy mod : Comprehensive
When I uncheck "signature stagging" on manual policy, the script is blocked right away but when i do it with the automatic policy, it doesn't block it and i can't figure out what prevent me to block it. My guess is the policy builder but when i disable it, it still doesnt block my script request so someone can explain to me the behaviour of a automatic policy, the policy builder and the policy mod. this is the kind of log i have with automatic policy:

Also where do you decide if this specific request is a false positive?
If I understand it correctly, this is where you decide if a signature is a false positive (screenshot below) but where do you precise request and request coming from a specific IP is safe?

Another "strange" behaviour i have, as you can see i have signature stagging enabled and my policy in blocking mod. Doesnt the security policy suppose to not block the traffic that triggered some signature and just report them where i decide afterward if i block them or not? I'm asking you that because my policy still keep blocking the traffic that triggers the signature :

Thanks Leonardo for your answer. One more thing (maybe the last :)), it's about ressources and deployement. I have about 400 VS to protect with ASM. Some Nodes and pools that are used multiple times. I am planning to deploy a policy by pool (if Pool A is used in VS 1,2,3 & 4 i'm going to deploy a policy for VS 1 to 4), do you think the ressources are enough to deploy this way knowing i'll create about 20-30 policies?
Regards,
