Wallarm Node Detects Attacks

  1. Send a malicious request to your resource:
http://<resource_URL>/etc/passwd
  1. Run the following command to check if the attack count increased:
curl http://127.0.0.8/wallarm-status

See also Checking the filter node operation

You Can Log into the Wallarm Interface

  1. Proceed to the link that corresponds to the cloud you are using:

  2. See if you can log in successfully.

See also the Threat Prevention Dashboard overview.

Wallarm Interface Shows Requests per Second

  1. Send a request to your resource:
curl http://<resource_URL>

Or send several requests with a bash script:

for (( i=0 ; $i<10 ; i++ )) ;
do 
   curl http://<resource_URL> ;
done

This example is for 10 requests.

  1. Check if the Wallarm interface shows detected requests per second.

See also the Threat Prevention Dashboard.

Wallarm Marks Requests as False and Stops Blocking them

  1. Expand an attack on the Attacks tab.

  2. Select a hit and click False.

  3. Wait for around 3 minutes.

  4. Resend the request and check if Wallarm detects it as an attack and blocks it.

See also Working with false attacks.

Wallarm Detects Vulnerabilities and Creates Security Incidents

  1. Ensure you have an open vulnerability on your resource.

  2. Send a malicious request to exploit the vulnerability.

  3. Check if there is an incident detected in the Wallarm interface.

See also Checking attacks and incidents.

Wallarm Detects Perimeter

  1. On the Scanner tab, add your resource's domain.

  2. Check if Wallarm discovers all resources associated with the added domain.

See also Working with the scanner.

IP allowlisting, denylisting, and graylisting work

  1. Learn core logic of IP lists.

  2. Add IP addresses to the allowlist, denylist, and graylist.

  3. Check that the filtering node correctly processes requests originated from IPs added to the lists.

Users Can Be Configured and Have Proper Access Rights

  1. Ensure you have the Administrator role in the Wallarm system.

  2. Create, change role, disable, and delete a user as described in Configuring users.

See also Configuring users.

User Activity Log Has Records

  1. Go to Settings –> Users.

  2. Check that User Activity Log has records.

See also User activity log.

Reporting Works
