"Though CloudFlare is presented as, besides other things, a very proficient web application firewall, we concluded that that’s just a marketing sales point and nothing more. ... CloudFlare does NOT protect from web attacks!"
I'd really like to hear from Cloudfare on this statement.
- dsl 14y agoMe too. They even upgraded to the Pro account which is supposed to include advanced protection.
- druiid 14y agoAs a Cloudflare user whom has been protected by these kinds of attacks in the past... I too would like to know what the eff is going on here. They supposedly (according to tech support in the past) USE mod_security... so what did they break?
- driverdan 14y agoYou were protected from DDoS attacks or security attacks?
- druiid 14y agoBoth. We were victims of up to something like 21GBps DDoS attacks (sorry to any other clients on that segment of the Cloudflare network... whistles and walks away :P). We've also seen directed attempts from toolkits and the like for SQL injection attempts, etc.
- bluetidepro 14y agoSee my comment above, it has a few notes from their co-founder about this.
