WAFLab 🐾

WAFLab is a web-based platform for testing WAFs.

Live Demo

https://waflab.org/

Architecture

WAFLab contains 2 parts:

Installation

Prerequisites

• Go
• NPM (shipped with Node.js)
• Docker (e.g., Docker Desktop on Windows 10)

Server-side

Get the source code from Github via Git

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/waflab.git

Set up the database

WAFLab use database to store generated testcases and test results.

Prepare a Xorm ORM supported database (MySQL is recommended), replace root:123@tcp(localhost:3306)/ in conf/app.conf with your own connection string. WAFLab will create a database named waflab and necessary tables in it if not exist. All Xorm supported databases are listed here.

Use docker-compose

You can start the application if you have docker-compose installed by

docker-compose up

Then, you can access the frontend UI via localhost:7000. Alternatively, you can also set up the frontend and backend separately using following method.

Setup Go backend

Run Server-backend (at port 7070 by default):

cd waflab
go run main.go

Use your own WAFBench image (optional)

If you want to add some customized behavior to the package sending process. You can use your own WAFBench image. Once your made the change to the WAFBench codebase, you need to build a new Docker image and upload it to DockerHub.

cd WAFBench
docker build . -t org/wafbench
docker login
docker push org/wafbench

Then, change the docker.io/waflab/wafbench within docker/master.go to the image you just build. Ex. docker.io/org/wafbench

Setup frontend web UI

Install the frontend dependencies with NPM (or Yarn if you like):

cd waflab/web
npm install

Run frontend (at port 7000 by default):

npm start

WAFLab web UI is now avaliable at: http://localhost:7000

Build frontend into static files and it will be served by Go server at port 7070 together with backend API:

npm build
