Description:
Web Application Firewalls are firewalls that protect our most precious data on the web.
Those firewalls prevent intrusions and alert developers once they are detected.
Contrary to popular belief, they are not all the same. Many web application firewalls can be bypassed. This talk will walk you through 10 known and lesser-known methods that can be used and abused to evade security policies and wreak havoc on top of an application secured by a WAF.
You will walk away knowing not only how to build web application firewalls, but also be sufficiently equipped to evade and bypass the most stringent firewall security policies. On the flip side, you will also know enough to make adequate decisions when choosing a Web Application Firewall for your specific use case.
