WAF Rule Testing
Know your WAF rules are actually protecting you, not just looking good on paper.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List All Webhooks
Tool to list all webhooks associated with the account. Use when you need to retrieve every configured webhook for your team.
Why this helps
WAF rules are misconfigured and block legitimate traffic, or fail to block attacks. You find out through customer complaints or security incidents.
- Verify WAF rules block attacks without breaking legitimate traffic
- Test rules regularly without manual effort
- Know immediately if rules are misconfigured
- Verify alerts are routing correctly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Geekflare and Hystruct to Notis.
- 2Configure a Notis webhook to trigger when you want to test your WAF.
- 3Ask Notis: 'When testing the WAF, use Geekflare to simulate common attacks (SQL injection, XSS, etc.) and verify they're blocked. Send results to Hystruct and list all active Hystruct webhooks.'
- 4Specify which attack types to test and which should be blocked.
- 5Manually trigger a test when you update WAF rules to verify they work.
Questions about this workflow
Is simulating attacks safe?
Geekflare's simulations are designed to trigger WAF rules without causing actual damage. It's standard practice for WAF validation.
What if a legitimate request gets blocked?
WAF test results show this clearly. Your team can then adjust rules to allow legitimate traffic patterns.
How often should I test WAF rules?
Test when you update rules, add new ones, or periodically (monthly) to ensure they're still working.
