XS Firewall :: Web Aplication Firewall
XSFW is a PHP Firewall and Security System designed to protect your PHP based website against a variety of threats, including exploit scanners / vulnerability probes, bad bots, spambots, fake search engines, scrapers, flooding, hackers and targeted web application / platform attacks.
Your website is a target - Don't leave it unprotected
Without any protection, approx 75% of your daily website traffic could be from bad bots, hackers, scanners and other types of bandwidth wasting visitors that are of no benefit to your site in any way.
XSFW provides you with powerful tools to help monitor and evaluate your site's traffic, effectively putting you back in control over who and what can access your website at any time of the day or night.
XSFW Sentry Modules
The XSFW Sentry Module System allows you to inspect all incoming traffic, helping to filter out the garbage you don't need and restrict access to your website.
The XS Firewall modules include :
- IP Sentry - Whitelist / Blacklist IP addresses (IPv4/IPv6) by :
- IP Range (1.0.0.0-1.0.0.255)
- CIDR IP Blocks (1.0.0.0/24)
- IP wildcard (1.2.3.*)
- Single IP address (1.2.3.1) - Host Sentry : Filter traffic based on hostname.
- GEO Sentry : Filter traffic based on country.
- Bot Sentry : Detect and block fake search engine spiders / crawlers & bad bots.
- UserAgent Sentry : Filter traffic based on useragent.
- Request Sentry : Filter malicious requests.
- Referer Sentry : Block referer spammers.
- Proxy Sentry : Detect and block proxies, vpn services etc.
- Flood Sentry : Throttle abusive visitors & fast scrapers who make excessive page requests.
- Admin Sentry : Stealth access control system to help protect against brute force logins.
A complementary white listing system has been integrated with every module, to ensure that XS Firewall only affects the traffic you want blocked.
More modules are in development and will be available after the intial launch of XS Firewall.
