waf threshold-based-detection

Use this command to configure threshold based detection rules to define occurrence, time period, severity, and trigger policy, etc of the following suspicious behaviors, and thus FortiWeb judges whether the request comes from a human or a bot.

  • Crawler
  • Vulnerability Scanning
  • Slow Attack
  • Content Scraping
  • Illegal User Scan

Variable Description Default

"<policy_name>"

Enter a name for the threshold based detection rule that can be referenced in bot mitigation policy.

No default.

bot-recognition {disabled | real-browser-enforcement | captcha-enforcement}

Select between:

  • captcha-enforcement—Requires the client to successfully fulfill a CAPTCHA request. If the client cannot successfully fulfill the request within the , or doesn't fulfill the request within the validation-timeout <validation-timeout_int>, FortiWeb applies the action and sends the CAPTCHA block page.

  • real-browser-enforcement—Enable to return a JavaScript to the client to test whether it is a web browser or automated tool when it violates the access rule. If the client either fails the test or does not return results before the timeout specified by waf threshold-based-detection, FortiWeb applies the specified action. If the client appears to be a web browser, FortiWeb allows the client to violate the rule.
