Coraza Web Application Firewall

Coraza WAF is a Golang implementation of Modsecurity built from scratch, it supports most of the features from ModSecurity but aims to be a completely different implementation with many new capabilities and extensibility.

This project is not intended for production yet, APIs are going to change, it's not secure enough and it might crash.

Using Coraza WAF

package main

import(
	"github.com/jptosso/coraza-waf/pkg/engine"
	"github.com/jptosso/coraza-waf/pkg/parser"
	"fmt"
)

func main(){
	// Create waf instance
	waf := engine.NewWaf()

	// Parse some rules
	p, _ := parser.NewParser(waf)
	p.FromString(`SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:test "TestValue" "id:1, drop, log"`)

	// Create Transaction
	tx := waf.NewTransaction()
	tx.AddRequestHeader("Test", "TestValue")
	tx.ExecutePhase(2)
	if tx.Disrupted{
		fmt.Println("Transaction disrupted")
	}
}

Using the CRS engine

Coraza WAF can be configured with OWASP CRS without the need to download and setup the packages. The pkg.crs package contains tools to automatically import and setup CRS.
