Broaden WAF tag coverage beyond Cloudflare/Imperva/Sucuri #269

Description

@liquidsec

Currently only 3 of 125 providers carry the waf tag:

  • Cloudflare
  • Imperva
  • Sucuri

Several other providers operate major WAF products but are tagged differently (e.g. cloud) or have no tags at all:

  • Akamai (Kona Site Defender) -- tagged cloud
  • Amazon (AWS WAF / CloudFront WAF rules) -- tagged cloud
  • Microsoft (Azure Application Gateway WAF) -- tagged cloud
  • F5 (BIG-IP ASM) -- no tags

Consumers like BBOT's webbrute module use the waf tag to skip brute-forcing against WAF-protected hosts (avoid_wafs option). The narrow tag coverage means most WAF-protected hosts are not detected.

Adding the waf tag to providers that operate WAF products would improve downstream consumer accuracy.
