   resource "bigip_as3"  "tenant02_app3" {
      as3_json = "${file("app3.json")}"
   }
   

3. Create variables.tf

   • Explore the basicwaf.xml policy used for juice_awaf

   

6. Deploy Tenant02 App3 services

   • terraform  init

   • terraform plan

   • terraform apply -auto-approve

7. Confirm BIG-IP is now configured

   • Explore BIG-IP GUI Local Traffic -> Network Map to view tenant02 serviceMain services

   

   • Click serviceMain to view details of tenant02 serviceMain services and note a WAF Policy associated

   

   • Click _WAF_App_3 to confirm juice_awaf policy associated with App_3

   

   • Explore BIG-IP GUI Security -> Overview -> OWASP Compliance then click juice_awaf to view dashboard

   

   Note

   Basic waf policy only covers a subset of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. Additional configuration is required to acheive greater OWASP compliance.

8. Confirm serviceMain is serving up juiceshop app

   • Open new tab on client server Firebox Browser

   • Browse to bigip (https://10.1.20.20)

   • Click advanced and accept risk

   

9. Test sql injection attack

   • Click Account -> Login and enter 'or 1==1 -- for email address

   

   • You should receive an error which is typical of poor error handling but at least login was protected.

   

10. Test sql injection on unprotected juiceshop (http://10.1.20.20:3000)

    • Repeat same steps as previous attack

    • You should receive a message that you’ve successfully solved a challenge

    Note

    Bonus lab - Replace waf policy with a different external policy. I recommend creating a new app3a.json and policy.

    Hint

    Follow the github trail and examine the BIG-IP GUI Security -> Overview -> OWASP Compliance after applying. (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gotspam/f5-lab-days-hashi-basics/master/assets/lab3/owaspwaf.xml)
