Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Protection using Flask-based WAF

This project builds a WAF using Flask to protect against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The firewall inspects HTTP requests and identifies any script-based attacks by analyzing input fields and headers. Using Python’s regular expressions and filtering techniques, the WAF blocks harmful content before it reaches the application. This solution provides robust XSS protection while maintaining the performance and reliability of the web application.
