📖 Introduction

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are a critical line of defense for web applications. However, they are often dependent on signature-based detection and can be bypassed with creativity and specific encoding techniques. This repository compiles known bypass techniques and payloads into organized lists for ease of use during security engagements.

✨ Features

• Protocol Agnostic: Payloads suitable for various injection points in HTTP requests.
• Categorized Lists: Payloads organized by attack vector (SQLi, XSS, RCE, etc.).
• Tool-Ready: Formats optimized for popular tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP.
• Evasion Techniques: Includes polyglots, obfuscation, and encoding bypasses.

🚀 Getting Started

To use these payloads, simply clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/payload-box/waf-bypass-payload-list.git
cd waf-bypass-payload-list

🛠️ Usage

Burp Suite Intruder

1. Open Burp Suite and verify your target is in scope.
2. Send a request to Intruder (Ctrl+I / Cmd+I).
3. Go to the Positions tab and select the insertion point (e.g., a parameter value, header, or cookie).
4. Navigate to the Payloads tab.
5. In Payload Options, click Load... and select intruder/waf_bypass_payloads.txt.
6. Start the attack.
7. Analyze the results for anomalies (HTTP status codes, response length differences, time delays) that indicate a successful bypass.

OWASP ZAP

1. Right-click a request in the History tab and select Fuzz....
2. Highlight the injection point and click Add....
3. Click Add... in the payload dialog.
4. Choose File Fuzzer as the type.
5. Load the intruder/waf_bypass_payloads.txt file.
6. Start the fuzzer and monitor the results.
