NAME

Shadowd::Connector::CGI - Shadow Daemon CGI Connector

VERSION

Version 1.0.3

SYNOPSIS

Shadow Daemon is a collection of tools to detect, protocol and prevent attacks on web applications. Technically speaking, Shadow Daemon is a web application firewall that intercepts requests and filters out malicious parameters. It is a modular system that separates web application, analysis and interface to increase security, flexibility and expandability.

Shadowd::Connector::CGI is the Shadow Daemon connector for Perl CGI applications. The module operates fully automatic and only has to be loaded/used to start its task.

METHODS

new($query)

This method is a simple constructor for an object oriented interface. It requires a CGI object as parameter.

get_client_ip()

This method returns the IP address of the client from the environment. The default key is REMOTE_ADDR, but if you are using a reverse proxy you have to change the key via the configuration file.

get_caller()

This method returns the caller from the environment. The default key is SCRIPT_FILENAME, i.e. the executed Perl script.

gather_input()

This method gathers the user input with the help of the CGI module. The CGI module gets the user input from the environment.

defuse_input($threats)

This method defuses dangerous input by overwriting the environment of the script.

error()

This method simply prints an error message.
