Block Scanners & 0days with SafeLine WAF: Semantic Protection in One Command

Image description

SafeLine’s not just about blocking known threats — it actively breaks scanner logic, defends against 0days, and is up in minutes with a single command.

🔍 Make Vulnerability Scanners Useless

1. Multi-Layered Scanning Defense

  • ✅ Human verification with dynamic tokens
  • ♻️ Anti-replay protections to detect duplicated requests
  • 🧠 A semantic engine that parses request intent, not just patterns

Tools like Nessus can’t fingerprint encrypted pages, leading to massive misreads or total failure.


2. Anti-Scanning in Practice

1. Attack Simulation Results

Using Yakit and custom XSS/SQLi payloads, SafeLine intercepted 98%+ of malicious traffic with <0.1% false positives.

2. Real Enterprise Protection

A corporate system was getting hit by unknown scanners. After SafeLine deployment:

  • Scans blocked automatically
  • No service interruptions
  • No data leaks

3. Global Comparison: 0day Defense

Product 0day Detection False Positive Rate Rule Dependency
SafeLine 98% 0.07% ❌ None
AWS WAF 75% 3.2% ✅ High
F5 ASM 82% 2.1% ✅ High

➡️ With no dependency on rules, SafeLine adapts faster than rule-based solutions.

⚙️ One-Click Deployment

1. Requirements

  • Linux (CentOS 7.6+, Ubuntu 18.04+)
  • 1 CPU core, 1GB RAM, 5GB disk
  • Internet access

2. Install SafeLine WAF

bash -c "$(curl -fsSLk https://waf-ce.chaitin.cn/release/latest/setup.sh)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After install, follow prompts for config path and dashboard login.


3. Enable Dynamic Protection

In the dashboard:

  • Add a protected site (domain, port, upstream)
  • Enable dynamic encryption (HTML, JS)
  • Visit the site once — SafeLine will auto-scan and encrypt needed assets

4. Anti-Crawling & Anti-Scanning Config

  • Human verification setup (TOTP, fingerprinting)
  • Behavioral rules: set request frequency thresholds, block patterns

5. Validation & Monitoring

Run simulated attacks or use tools like requests, Nessus, etc. Check the dashboard for real-time logs, analytics, and blocked traffic.

🌍 Deep Dive: Comparing SafeLine to Global WAF Products

1. Performance Benchmark

Product Single-Core TPS Resource Usage Deployment Complexity
SafeLine WAF 2000+ 1 core / 1GB ✅ One-click install
ModSecurity 1200 2 cores / 4GB ⚠️ Complex setup
Cloudflare WAF 3000 4 cores / 8GB ❌ Cloud-locked

🌟Highlight: SafeLine offers high performance with a lightweight footprint, ideal for small to mid-sized deployments.

2. Feature Innovation

  • Dynamic Protection: SafeLine pioneered HTML/JS encryption; most competitors rely on static obfuscation or rule-based models.
  • Semantic Analysis: No-rule 0day detection using lexical, syntactic, and semantic layers.
  • Open Source Ecosystem: Free access to core capabilities, unlike most closed-source commercial offerings.

3. Pricing & Use Cases

Product Pricing Model Ideal Use Cases
SafeLine WAF Free & Open Source SMB websites, indie developers
ModSecurity Open source + licensed Complex enterprise-level deployments
Cloudflare WAF Usage-based pricing Cloud-native, large-scale enterprises

🌟Highlight: SafeLine’s open and inclusive philosophy lowers the entry barrier for web security. It handles 80% of common web threats.


✅ Final Thoughts

From anti-scanning to one-click installation, SafeLine brings modern WAF features to your fingertips — no DevSecOps team required.
