# 🔒 Patterns – Automated OWASP CRS for Caddy, Nginx, and Apache Automate the scraping of **OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS)** patterns and convert them into **Caddy, Nginx, and Apache** WAF configurations. > This project helps protect web servers against common web attacks like **SQL Injection (SQLi)**, **XSS**, **RCE**, **LFI**, and more – automatically updated and deployed! ## 🚀 Project Overview - **🎯 Goal**: Automate OWASP CRS rule collection and generate WAF configs for **Caddy, Nginx, and Apache**. - **⚡ Automation**: GitHub Actions fetch rules **daily** and push updated configurations to the repository. - **📄 Output**: WAF `.conf` files categorized by attack type (SQLi, XSS, LFI) for all supported web servers. ## 📂 Project Structure ``` patterns/ ├── waf_patterns/ # 🔧 Generated WAF config files │ ├── caddy/ # Caddy WAF configs │ ├── nginx/ # Nginx WAF configs │ └── apache/ # Apache WAF configs (ModSecurity) ├── owasp.py # 🕵️ OWASP scraper (fetch CRS rules) ├── owasp2caddy.py # 🔄 Convert OWASP JSON to Caddy WAF configs ├── owasp2nginx.py # 🔄 Convert OWASP JSON to Nginx WAF configs ├── owasp2apache.py # 🔄 Convert OWASP JSON to Apache ModSecurity configs ├── owasp_rules.json # 📊 Fetched OWASP rules (raw) ├── requirements.txt # 🔄 Required tools └── .github/workflows/ # 🤖 GitHub Actions for automation └── update_patterns.yml ``` ## 🛠️ How It Works ### 🔹 1. Scraping OWASP Rules - `owasp.py` scrapes the latest OWASP CRS patterns from GitHub. - Pulls attack patterns for **SQLi**, **XSS**, **RCE**, **LFI** from OWASP CRS `.conf` files. ### 🔹 2. Multi-Platform WAF Config Generation - **`owasp2caddy.py`** – Generates Caddy WAF configs using OWASP patterns. - **`owasp2nginx.py`** – Converts OWASP patterns into Nginx WAF rules. - **`owasp2apache.py`** – Converts OWASP rules into Apache **ModSecurity** configurations. ### 🔹 3. Automation (GitHub Actions) - GitHub Actions fetch new rules **daily at midnight**. - Automatically commits and pushes new `.conf` files for all three platforms (Caddy, Nginx, Apache). ## ⚙️ Installation **1. Clone the Repository:** ```bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/patterns.git cd patterns ``` **2. Install Dependencies:** ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` **3. Run Manually (Optional):** ```bash python owasp.py python owasp2caddy.py python owasp2nginx.py python owasp2apache.py ``` ## 🚀 Usage (Web Server Integration) ### 🔹 1. Caddy WAF Integration ```bash sudo cp waf_patterns/caddy/*.conf /etc/caddy/ ``` Add to **Caddyfile**: ```caddy import waf_patterns/caddy/*.conf ``` Reload Caddy: ```bash caddy reload ``` ### 🔹 2. Nginx WAF Integration ```bash sudo cp waf_patterns/nginx/*.conf /etc/nginx/waf/ ``` Modify Nginx config: ```nginx server { include /etc/nginx/waf/*.conf; location / { # Other configs... } } ``` Reload Nginx: ```bash sudo nginx -s reload ``` ### 🔹 3. Apache ModSecurity Integration ```bash sudo cp waf_patterns/apache/*.conf /etc/modsecurity.d/ ``` Add to Apache config: ```apache IncludeOptional /etc/modsecurity.d/*.conf ``` Restart Apache: ```bash sudo systemctl restart apache2 ``` ## 🤖 Automation (GitHub Workflow) The GitHub Action (`.github/workflows/update_patterns.yml`) automates updates: - 🕛 **Runs Daily at Midnight (UTC)** - 🎯 **Manual Trigger Available** (from GitHub Actions tab) - 🚀 **Pushes Updated WAF Files** to `waf_patterns/` To enable: - Ensure the workflow is active in your repository. - Updated patterns will automatically sync to the repo and reflect in your WAF setup. ## 🧩 Example Output (ModSecurity – Apache WAF) **SQL Injection Blocking (waf_patterns/apache/sql.conf)**: ```apache SecRuleEngine On SecRule REQUEST_URI "union.*select|insert.*into|delete.*from|drop table" "id:1000,phase:1,deny,status:403,log,msg:'SQLi attack detected'" SecRule REQUEST_URI "alter table|truncate.*|--" "id:1001,phase:1,deny,status:403,log,msg:'SQLi attack detected'" ``` ## 🔧 Contributing 1.
