This project aims to develop a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that detects and prevents SQL injection and common web-based attacks. The system enhances web security by filtering malicious inputs and protecting backend databases from unauthorized access.
Study common web vulnerabilities including SQL Injection and XSS Design architecture of a web-based firewall system Implement input validation and sanitization techniques Develop rule-based detection for malicious query patterns Integrate firewall module with sample web application Log suspicious requests for monitoring Implement real-time alert system for detected attacks Test system with simulated attack payloads Measure detection rate and false positives Optimize filtering performance Create dashboard for monitoring blocked attempts Document system design, attack scenarios, and results Analyze limitations and future enhancement scope
