Abstract
According to one embodiment, a computing device is coupled to a web application layer attack detector (AD), which itself is coupled between an HTTP client and a web application server. The computing device automatically learns a new condition to detect a first type of web application layer attack. Responsive receiving a web application layer message from the HTTP client that violates a rule for detecting the first type of web application layer attack, the AD transmits an alert package to the computing device, which uses the alert package, and optionally other alert packages, to automatically generate a new set of attribute values for each of a set of attribute identifiers to be transmitted to the AD or optionally other ADs for use in a different rule than the violated rule. The different rule is another attack specific rule for detecting the first type of web application layer attack.
