> THREAT ANALYSIS

The Signature-Based Blindspot

Traditional WAFs rely on static regex patterns, leaving modern infrastructure vulnerable to polymorphic payloads. The React2Shell case study (CVE-2025-55182) proved that obfuscated malicious intent can bypass conventional filters with 99% success rates.

> PRODUCT WALKTHROUGH

Wirefall In Action

Operational views from real detection runs: threat scoring, benchmark telemetry, and block analytics.

> DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE

Hybrid Defense Pipeline

01

Ingress Layer

OpenResty/Nginx high-concurrency traffic handling with sub-millisecond routing decisions.

02

Neural Analysis

DistilBERT-based Transformer identifying payload semantics beyond surface-level pattern matching.

03

Feedback Loop

Nano LLM generates dynamic regex from novel threats, continuously hardening the firewall in real-time.

> CORE ENGINE

The Transformer Engine

Leveraging specialized BPE Tokenizers trained on millions of HTTP requests to understand the "grammar of attacks." Masked Language Modeling identifies structural anomalies that indicate exploitation.

[TOKENIZER] BPE vocabulary: 32,768 tokens trained on 4.2M HTTP payloads

[MODEL] DistilBERT-base-uncased with custom attention heads for URI parsing

[INFERENCE] Average latency: 2.3ms per request at 10k RPS

[DETECTION] Polymorphic payload detection rate: 97.8%

> SELF-HARDENING

Incremental Evolution

Systems undergo continuous Red vs. Blue testing via Gemini-powered attackers. Experience is stored in a Reverse Replay Buffer, allowing for hot-swapping LoRA adapters without service downtime.
