In web application security, detecting attacks as early as possible is critical. Every millisecond that a malicious request travels through an infrastructure increases backend exposure and consumes unnecessary resources. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) based on the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) have become one of the most widely used mechanisms to protect applications against attacks…

Open Source infrastructure is often a deliberate and well-reasoned choice. It offers transparency, control and a level of flexibility that fits well with how many engineering teams like to build and operate systems. Deploying an open source load balancer or reverse proxy is usually a conscious decision, backed by solid documentation, community knowledge and proven…

In recent weeks, several incidents surfaced where content providers blocked traffic coming from multi-tenant proxies to stop automated attacks or illegal rebroadcasting. The countermeasure reduced the offensive surface, but also denied access to legitimate users travelling through the same channel. It illustrates a common issue: upstream security — security applied at proxies, CDNs or scrubbing…

Web applications and APIs are now the operational core of most digital services. They process transactions, expose business logic, manage identities, and connect distributed systems that evolve continuously. In parallel, the volume and sophistication of attacks has increased, driven by automation, accessible tooling, and cloud-specific attack vectors. Web Application Firewalls remain a critical part of…

Modern application delivery architectures are built with the right goals in mind. Load balancers distribute traffic, Web Application Firewalls enforce security policies, TLS protects data in transit, and monitoring systems promise observability across the stack. On paper, everything seems covered. In real production environments, however, many of these architectures operate with critical blind spots. Especially…

Open-source software has been one of the most transformative forces in the technology sector. Operating systems, databases, web servers, and encryption libraries that we now consider essential exist thanks to thousands of developers who chose to release their code so that anyone could study it, modify it, and improve it. This model has enabled companies…

In the network security ecosystem, here is a common practice: WAF (Web Application Firewall) solutions that boast thousands of active rules. For an administrator evaluating products, that number may seem reassuring — more rules should theoretically mean more protection. But when you dig deeper, you quickly discover that many of those rules don’t apply to…

Community Edition is the open source load balancer from SKUDONET, designed for engineers and administrators who need traffic control without relying on costly or complex solutions. Built on Debian 12.8, it provides a stable and secure operating system with performance far above what is typical in free software: Up to 250,000 TCP requests per second…

Today, virtually every business depends on its online infrastructure. Companies manage multiple websites, internal applications, or e-commerce platforms that must remain available at all times. As these environments grow, maintenance and stability become as critical as security — and every change must be applied without affecting the user experience. Maintaining uptime during configuration changes requires…
