Supported protocols in Naxsi #543

cyndy08 commented 3 years ago

Hello everyone,

i would like to know if Naxsi supports other protocols than HTTP like FTP, DNS , LDAP or anything else. And also which HTTP versions are supported by naxsi?

I could not find any information regarding this in the documentation.

Thank you

I'm sorry but this question makes no sense. Naxsi is a web application firewall, not a firewall nor a deep packet inspection tool. Naxsi knows only what a HTTP request is and FTP, DNS and LDAP does not use HTTP.

FTP is an old text based protocol.
DNS is binary based.
LDAP is a ASN.1 based protocol, usually DER encoded.

also Naxsi is a NGINX module, this means that he does not handle HTTP request/connections, but NGINX does, so Naxsi does support whatever HTTP version NGINX supports.
