Title: WAF-A-MoLE: Evading Web Application Firewalls through Adversarial
Machine Learning
Venue: ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
Relationship with SPARTA: The paper presents a a technique to evade
machine learning-based web application firewalls (WAFs). This work shows
that ML WAFs are not reliable in discriminating between attack payloads
and harmless traffic. The activity is related to the identification and
evaluation of the state-of-the-art technologies adopted in the IIs.
