What (software, open source) WAF are you using with (open source) Nginx?
I was using Naxsi until recently, but changes to PCRE compatibility have broken it for now, and the most recent commit was around 6 months ago. I can't help with the code commits, so I'm looking for alternatives.

HowTo: WAF with NAXSI for Plex
Ok, so whahaatt the fuckk is NAXSI? Well, NAXSI are a set of rules (aka MainRules) in the form of "does input match funky shit? blocckkked" for nginx. That's the gist of it. Nothing more to it. They're basically an industry standard and block 99% of funky shit.

Anybody using Crowdsec?
First of all, if you have any experience with Traefik, I'd suggest you to do the reverse proxy stuff with it and install the Crowdsec instance along it. As I didn't have experience using Traefik I went with NPM but now I guess it would have been easier considering the research I had to do... Another reason is, I wanted to implement a geo block and/or another security layer by using ModSecurity (https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity ) besides Crowdsec too. Afaik Traefik has a plugin that integrates ModSecurity easily - unless NPM.

Has anyone tried this on Blackboard online exams??
I don't know about Blackboard, but Moodle will allow quizzes to be run in popups that block most extensions from working; lockdown browsers will block such extensions; and, if you have access to the server, a modified firewall (e.g., ModSecurity) may\* allow blocking this and similar extensions.

Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare?
> ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
This might be of interest to some: https://www.modsecurity.org/
> Trustwave is announcing the End-of-Life (EOL) of our support for ModSecurity effective July 1, 2024. We will then hand over the maintenance of ModSecurity code back to the open-source community.
Probably not too big of a deal, though.
Also, this might be useful: https://owasp.org/www-project-modsecurity-core-rule-set/
Though there has been some critique of ModSecurity and that ruleset in the past, as something dated and with false positives.
Anyone have any good alternatives?

WAF with reverse proxy
Is there a reason no one hasn't made a Docker template for OWASP Coraza (https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza) or ModSecurity (https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity) for the use of a reverse proxy?

NGINX WAF alternatives: App Protect vs. ModSecurity vs. open-appsec
Since Nginx has different use cases, protecting your application depends on how and where you use it. It's recommended that you have a reliable WAF solution since they block most harmful requests in the first place. In this article, you'll compare three tools—ModSecurity, F5 Nginx App Protect, and open-appsec—based on their active development, advanced security features, and open source commitment to help you figure out which tool is right for you.

What (software, open source) WAF are you using with (open source) Nginx?
I'm currently erring toward ModSecurity & the Nginx connector now that it's been de-Apache'd.

WordPress sites getting hacked ‘within seconds’ of TLS certificates being issued
Is anyone on HN doing WordPress administration? I recently 'inherited' a webshop built on WP/WooCommerce, and all the conflicting security advice in the WP space is making my head spin.
There are a dozen competing 'security' plugins, with some saying 'you don't need any of them, WP is secure enough by default', and others saying 'you actually need ModSecurity [1] / Jeff Starr's nG firewall [2]'.
The agency that (shoddily...) built the webshop installed Wordfence Free [3], so I've just kept that for now, though I feel it's kind of slow (but that might just be caused by the bottom-of-barrel performance of the shared webhost it's currently running on).
