What are contains inside rejected traffics ?

Greetings,

I recently moved to F5 ASM administration i have no idea about some of the rejected traffics.

 

 

As shown in above, i see some characters inside the rejected requests which is unreadable i'm not sure about it how ever i can not see them inside allowed packets. are there the web application payload parameters? or it is decrypted by F5 with wrong private key or what? i appreciate your help if you guys let me know about those characters.

  • Your request has Accept-Encoding: gzip in it. I'm assuming the server is compressing the reply and you are seeing the compressed binary stream. You need to decompress the content if you want to see it. Image content would still be binary, and you don't show the url, so perhaps it's an image or other binary content instead of text.
