phpShield: Open Source Web Application Firewall

An open source PHP-based web application firewall designed to protect against SQL injection, XSS, RFI, CRLF injection and other common attacks.

What is PhpShield?

phpShield is an open source web application firewall (WAF) designed specifically to protect PHP-based web applications and APIs. It works by analyzing all incoming HTTP requests to identify and block common web attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), remote file inclusion (RFI), CRLF injection, and more.

As a PHP-based WAF, phpShield understands the PHP processing flow and can accurately detect malicious payloads targeting vulnerabilities in the application logic. It has built-in protection against OWASP Top 10 web application vulnerabilities. The firewall rules and attack signatures are frequently updated to protect against zero-day exploits.

Key features of phpShield include:

• Easy setup as a PHP library that can be integrated into any PHP application
• Comprehensive protection against SQLi, XSS, RFI, LFIS, CRLF injection, command injection and other common attack vectors
• Customizable firewall rules to suit application-specific security requirements
• Logging of all blocked requests for security monitoring and incident response
• Lightweight design optimized for performance with minimal overhead

phpShield offers enterprises, small businesses, and developers an effective and easy-to-implement WAF solution to harden PHP apps against evolving web threats. With simple installation and configuration, it provides instant protection without modifications to existing application code.
