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.
