Tutorial: Get Started with Azure WAF Investigation Notebook
Introduction
The Microsoft Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is an end-to-end security solution that provides an advanced layer of protection from malicious web threats. It provides advanced threat protection against cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attacks, as well as protection from malicious bots and automated attacks. This tutorial will introduce you to the Azure WAF Investigation Notebook and show you how to get started.
What is the Azure WAF Investigation Notebook?
The Azure WAF Investigation Notebook is an open source tool designed to help security engineers investigate web application firewall (WAF) events. It is built on top of the open source Jupyter Notebook, a web-based interactive computing environment where users can create and share documents that contain live code, narrative text, equations, and visualizations. The Azure WAF Investigation Notebook provides an easy to use interface for querying and analyzing WAF logs. This allows security engineers to quickly investigate WAF events and identify potential threats.
Getting Started with the Azure WAF Investigation Notebook
The Azure WAF Investigation Notebook is available as an open source project on GitHub. To get started, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Install the necessary dependencies. This can be done with the following command: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Create a new Jupyter notebook and start exploring the WAF logs.
Exploring WAF Logs
Once you have your Jupyter notebook set up, you can start exploring the WAF logs. The Azure WAF Investigation Notebook provides an easy to use interface for querying and analyzing WAF logs. This allows security engineers to quickly investigate WAF events and identify potential threats.
The notebook provides several built-in functions for exploring WAF logs, including filtering, sorting, and visualizing the data. You can also use the notebook to create custom queries to investigate specific events.
Conclusion
The Azure WAF Investigation Notebook is a powerful and easy to use tool for security engineers. It provides an advanced layer of protection from malicious web threats and allows security engineers to quickly investigate WAF events and identify potential threats. With the Azure WAF Investigation Notebook, security engineers can quickly and easily evaluate the security of their web applications.
