Web Application Firewalls
ย (WAFs
) are security solutions designed to protect web applications from various attacks. Before proceeding with further fingerprinting, itโs crucial to determine ifย inlanefreight.com
ย employs a WAF, as it could interfere with our probes or potentially block our requests.
To detect the presence of a WAF, weโll use theย wafw00f
ย tool.

ย reveals that the website is protected by theย Wordfence Web Application Firewall
ย (WAF
), developed by Defiant.
This means the site has an additional security layer that could block or filter our reconnaissance attempts. In a real-world scenario, it would be crucial to keep this in mind as you proceed with further investigation, as you might need to adapt techniques to bypass or evade the WAFโs detection mechanisms.
