Challenge 4 - Task 1 of 6
Configure Web Application Firewall to Protect Web Server Against XSS Attack Scenario You have to protect web applications hosted on OCI from cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. You can use the OCI Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities to create rules that compare against incoming requests to determine if the request contains an XSS attack payload. If a request is determined to be an attack, WAF should return the HTTP Service Unavailable (503) error.
To ensure that the configured WAF blocks the XSS attack, run the following script: [http://<public- ip-enforcement-point>/index.html?<p style="background:url(javascript:alert(1))"](http://<public- ip-enforcement-point>/index.html?<p style="background:url(javascript:alert(1))">) To complete this deployment, you have to perform the following tasks in the environment provisioned for you:
Configure a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN)
Create a Compute Instance and install the Web Server
Create a Load Balancer and update Security List
Create a WAF policy
Configure Protection Rules against XSS attacks
Verify the created environment against XSS attacks
