First, do not use this repo and instead use mine: https://github.com/wargio/naxsi Second, compile naxsi and deploy it in a vm then run some tools like sqlmap etc... Remember that the key is to configure the WAF according to your needs (i.e. avoid deploying rules that are useful for wordpress if you do not run wordpress, for example) and always ensure to enable the waf in the needed locations (i.e. avoid setting it for example in admin paths etc.. which cannot be accessed by any normal traffic, and instead use ip filtering for those)

what tools would be the best tools to test naxsi?

wargio commented 1 year ago

any pentest tool for webapps. there isn't 'a tool' with which you test naxsi. Naxsi is supposed to help you to block obvious threats, like automated scans, etc..

Could you recommend examples of popular pentest open source tools?

There are plenty which you could use
