Script `http-waf-fingerprint`

Script types: portrule
Categories: discovery, intrusive
Download: https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/scripts/http-waf-fingerprint.nse

Script Summary

Tries to detect the presence of a web application firewall and its type and version.

This works by sending a number of requests and looking in the responses for known behavior and fingerprints such as Server header, cookies and headers values. Intensive mode works by sending additional WAF specific requests to detect certain behaviour.

Credit to wafw00f and w3af for some fingerprints.
