Web Application Firewall for REST APIs Using Flask

Original price was: ₹ 7,500.00.Current price is: ₹ 6,000.00.

In this project, the Flask WAF is tailored for protecting RESTful APIs. These APIs are often targeted by attackers attempting to exploit vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), or unauthorized access. The project implements Flask middleware that inspects incoming requests, blocking malicious payloads before they reach the backend systems. Rate limiting, IP filtering, and authentication checks are added to ensure API requests are legitimate, safeguarding against various types of attacks commonly targeting web APIs.

This Flask-based WAF is designed specifically to protect RESTful APIs from attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and DoS. The firewall inspects incoming API requests, applies defined rules for detecting malicious input, and blocks harmful traffic before it reaches the API. Flask’s routing system is used to handle API requests, while Python’s regular expressions provide the necessary filtering mechanisms to protect sensitive data in the APIs.
