What Hacker News says

westurner·Oct 29, 2025
How does RhinoWAF compare to other open WAFs like OWASP Coraza WAF, bunkerweb, and SafeLine? Does RhinoWAF support ModSecurity SecLang rulesets like OWASP CRS? Is there a SecLang to RhinoWAF JSON converter? Shouldn't eBPF be fast at sorting and running rules? What are good metrics for evaluating WAFs? coraza: https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza bunkerweb: https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerweb SafeLine: https://github.com/chaitin/SafeLine RhinoWAF: https://github.com/1rhino2/RhinoWAF gh topic: waf: https://github.com/topics/waf awesome-WAF: https://github.com/0xInfection/Awesome-WAF
