Detecting SQL Injection Via Waf Logs

Analyze WAF (ModSecurity/AWS WAF/Cloudflare) logs to detect SQL injection attack campaigns. Parses ModSecurity audit logs and JSON WAF event logs to identify SQLi patterns (UNION SELECT, OR 1=1, SLEEP(), BENCHMARK()), tracks attack sources, correlates multi-stage injection attempts, and generates incident reports with OWASP classification.

Instructions

  1. Install dependencies: pip install requests
  2. Collect WAF logs (ModSecurity audit log, AWS WAF JSON logs, or Cloudflare firewall events).
  3. Run the agent to parse and analyze:
    • Detect SQLi payloads via 15+ regex patterns
    • Classify attacks by OWASP injection type (classic, blind, time-based, UNION-based)
    • Identify persistent attackers by IP clustering
    • Correlate multi-request injection campaigns
    • Calculate attack success probability based on response codes
python scripts/agent.py --log-file /var/log/modsec_audit.log --format modsecurity --output sqli_report.json
