From the README
SafeLine - Make your web apps secure
SafeLine is a self-hosted
WAF(Web Application Firewall)to protect your web apps from attacks and exploits.A web application firewall helps protect web apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It typically protects web apps from attacks such as
SQL injection,XSS,code injection,os command injection,CRLF injection,ldap injection,xpath injection,RCE,XXE,SSRF,path traversal,backdoor,bruteforce,http-flood,bot abused, among others.By deploying a WAF in front of a web application, a shield is placed between the web application and the Internet. While a proxy server protects a client machine’s identity by using an intermediary, a WAF is a type of reverse-proxy, protecting the server from exposure by having clients pass through the WAF before reaching the server.
A WAF protects your web apps by filtering, monitoring, and blocking any malicious HTTP/S traffic traveling to the web application, and prevents any unauthorized data from leaving the app. It does this by adhering to a set of policies that help determine what traffic is malicious and what traffic is safe. Just as a proxy server acts as an intermediary to protect the identity of a client, a WAF operates in similar fashion but acting as a reverse proxy intermediary that protects the web app server from a potentially malicious client.
