Advanced WAF with Rate Limiting Using Flask

This advanced web application firewall project built with Flask includes rate-limiting functionality to protect against DDoS attacks and other types of abuse. The firewall limits the number of requests a user can make to the application within a specified timeframe, thus preventing flood attacks. The system also includes automatic IP blocking for repeated abusive requests. Python’s `flask-limiter` and `redis` are used for rate limiting and managing IP blocks.
