Change Header to Bypass WAF when scanning Website vulnerabilities with Scan Tools

When using software to scan for security holes, it usually won’t get through the WAF trick wall, just sending the first request is blocked, including crawling. You can bypass WAF by changing the packet’s header with one of the following headers. Depending on each Scan Tool, there will be different ways to change.

In addition to changing the Header, you need to pay attention to adjust Chrome’s user-agent, encoding to UTF-8, reduce the frequency of sending Request. Thus, the ability to Bypass WAF by tool scan vulnerability will be more effective.
