Assessment Title
Rule Text
The BIG-IP Core implementation must be configured to inspect for protocol compliance and protocol anomalies in inbound HTTP and HTTPS traffic to virtual servers.
Description
Discussion Text
Application protocol anomaly detection examines application layer protocols such as HTTP to identify attacks based on observed deviations in the normal RFC behavior of a protocol or service. This type of monitoring allows for the detection of known and unknown exploits that exploit weaknesses of commonly used protocols.
Since protocol anomaly analysis examines the application payload for patterns or anomalies, an HTTP proxy must be included in the ALG. This ALG will be configured to inspect inbound HTTP and HTTPS communications traffic to detect protocol anomalies such as malformed message and command insertion attacks. Note that if mutual authentication is enabled, there will be no way to inspect HTTPS traffic with MITM.
