This post details the rapid deployment of custom Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to protect specific customers and address widespread threats. It showcases examples of custom rules written to block botnets targeting specific URLs with randomized query strings, "Anonymous" attacks, and POST requests to non-existent URLs. It also highlights the deployment of global rules to protect against zero-day exploits like the WHMCS vulnerability. The WAF's custom rule language and rapid deployment capability (under 30 seconds) are emphasized as key features for responding to attacks.
