BashEdgeSERVER SECURITY
Web Application Firewall and DDoS protection built for the server.
BashEdge protects more than a website. It connects application-aware attack rules, request-rate intelligence, network controls and login protection before hostile traffic becomes server load.
Install with one command Start in monitor mode Protect every hosted site
Security decisions need context
An attack rarely fits inside one security layer.
A connection can be permitted by the server firewall and still carry SQL injection. A request can contain no obvious exploit and still be one part of a distributed flood. A failed login can look ordinary until the same source repeats it across multiple services.
BashEdge evaluates these signals together. The result is a security platform that understands both the request reaching the application and the pressure building across the server.
BashEdge in the request path
Make the security decision before the Web server does the work.
BashEdge inspects and contains hostile traffic before it reaches proxy, application and hosted website resources.

PROTECTED WEB SERVER
Every hosted application
One platform, four coordinated layers
Protect the complete path to your Web server.
Point tools see one part of an incident. BashEdge brings Web request inspection, application-layer DDoS protection, network policy and intrusion prevention into a single decision and evidence model.
- One place to watch, verify or block
- One allowlist for trusted services and visitors
- One threat record tied to the targeted host
Web Application FirewallStop exploit payloadsSQL injection, command injection, code execution, XSS, SSRF and insecure deserialization. Protect sensitive filesEnvironment files, cloud credentials, backups, database dumps and application configuration. Prevent persistent accessWebshell and backdoor uploads hidden in media or other writable directories.
Understand the request before the application has to process it.
A Web Application Firewall protects at Layer 7, where URLs, parameters, uploads and application behaviour become visible. BashEdge maintains more than 50 rules and delivers updates without restarting the Web server.
LIVE REQUEST INSPECTIONDecision: Block

Control the response
Not every suspicious request needs the same answer.
BashEdge separates observation from enforcement so security teams can respond with evidence rather than guesswork.
Record the match and its impact without changing customer traffic.
Ask a suspicious visitor to prove it is a real browser before continuing.
Stop confirmed attack traffic and preserve the reason for investigation.
APPLICATION-LAYER TRAFFICLast 30 minutes
Hostile requests Verified traffic
94%attack traffic containedNormal visitors continue to the application
Application-layer DDoS protection
Stop the request flood that a port rule cannot see.
Layer 7 DDoS attacks use legitimate-looking HTTP requests to consume PHP workers, application queries and Web server capacity. BashEdge detects high-rate clients, coordinated campaigns, distributed scanning and identity rotation across the server.
Scope protection precisely. Cover a targeted site or the complete server.Verify new visitors. Lockdown Mode holds automation back while legitimate browsers continue.Keep trusted traffic moving. Allowlisted services and verified crawlers remain unaffected.
Beyond the website firewall
Protect the services the Web application depends on.
A complete server-security decision includes network access and repeated attacks against control panels, mail, file transfer, databases and remote administration.
Control inbound and outbound traffic
Apply rules by direction, protocol, port, source range and exception while preserving the firewall configuration already in place.
Protect every server login
Use independent thresholds and block durations for control panels, SSH, FTP, mail, Webmail, databases and administration tools.
Describe unusual traffic precisely
Match requests by path, method, address, network, country, user agent, status or rate, then expire temporary controls automatically.
Evidence, not unexplained blocks
See the attack as a story your team can act on.
BashEdge connects each action to its detection rule, reason, source and targeted host. Synthetic activity below demonstrates how several kinds of attack appear in one view.

Protection designed around the server you operate.
BashEdge keeps the same security model across platforms, then adapts the installation, Web stack and protection scope to the way each server is managed.
cPCPANEL & WHMWHM workflow
cPanel server security
Protect every account with a server-wide WAF, application-layer DDoS protection, firewall controls and login defence managed from WHM.

Designed for safe adoption
Learn from your server before changing its traffic.
BashEdge installs with one command and begins in monitor mode. Review the effect of every rule on real server traffic, allowlist trusted systems, and activate only the controls you are ready to enforce.
Web Application Firewall questions
Understand how BashEdge protects the server.
What is a Web Application Firewall?
A Web Application Firewall, or WAF, inspects HTTP and HTTPS requests before they reach a Web application. It can identify and stop attacks such as SQL injection, command injection, path traversal, malicious file uploads and credential probing while allowing legitimate requests to continue.
How is a WAF different from a network firewall?
A network firewall controls connections using information such as source address, protocol and port. A WAF understands the Web request itself, including its path, method, headers, parameters and application behavior. BashEdge coordinates both layers rather than forcing server owners to choose between them.
Can a Web Application Firewall help stop DDoS attacks?
A WAF can help with application-layer or Layer 7 DDoS attacks, where requests look technically valid but arrive at a rate or pattern designed to exhaust Web server resources. BashEdge adds request-rate intelligence, coordinated-source detection and visitor verification specifically for this problem.
Does BashEdge replace the firewall already on my server?
No. BashEdge detects the current firewall configuration and works alongside it. Existing rules are preserved rather than wiped or silently replaced.
Will BashEdge block legitimate customers?
Protection starts in monitor mode and changes no traffic. You can review matches against traffic from your own server, allowlist trusted services and activate each rule as watch, verify or block only when you are ready.
Which server platforms does BashEdge support?
BashEdge has dedicated protection workflows for cPanel and WHM, Plesk and Ubuntu Web servers. Each platform page explains how BashEdge fits its Web stack, hosted sites, server services and administration model.
Does BashEdge protect WordPress and other CMS applications?
Yes. Alongside general Web attack rules, BashEdge recognises application-specific abuse such as WordPress login attacks, XML-RPC abuse and enumeration, as well as Joomla and Drupal login or component probing.
How quickly can BashEdge be installed?
Installation uses one command, requires no reboot and begins in monitor mode. Platform integrations then provide the appropriate server-wide and per-domain controls.
Put one security edge in front of every hosted site.
Start in monitor mode, review BashEdge against your own server traffic and activate protection with evidence.
