SafeLine’s not just about blocking known threats — it actively breaks scanner logic, defends against 0days, and is up in minutes with a single command.
🔍 Make Vulnerability Scanners Useless
1. Multi-Layered Scanning Defense
✅ Human verification with dynamic tokens
♻️ Anti-replay protections to detect duplicated requests
🧠 A semantic engine that parses request intent, not just patterns
Tools like Nessus can’t fingerprint encrypted pages, leading to massive misreads or total failure.
2. Anti-Scanning in Practice
1. Attack Simulation Results
Using Yakit and custom XSS/SQLi payloads, SafeLine intercepted 98%+ of malicious traffic with <0.1% false positives.
2. Real Enterprise Protection
A corporate system was getting hit by unknown scanners. After SafeLine deployment:
Scans blocked automatically
No service interruptions
No data leaks
3. Global Comparison: 0day Defense

➡️ With no dependency on rules, SafeLine adapts faster than rule-based solutions.
⚙️ One-Click Deployment
1. Requirements
Linux (CentOS 7.6+, Ubuntu 18.04+)
1 CPU core, 1GB RAM, 5GB disk
Internet access
2. Install SafeLine WAF
bash -c "$(curl -fsSLk https://waf-ce.chaitin.cn/release/latest/setup.sh)"
After install, follow prompts for config path and dashboard login.
3. Enable Dynamic Protection
In the dashboard:
Add a protected site (domain, port, upstream)
Enable dynamic encryption (HTML, JS)
Visit the site once — SafeLine will auto-scan and encrypt needed assets
4. Anti-Crawling & Anti-Scanning Config
Human verification setup (TOTP, fingerprinting)
Behavioral rules: set request frequency thresholds, block patterns
5. Validation & Monitoring
Run simulated attacks or use tools like requests
, Nessus
, etc. Check the dashboard for real-time logs, analytics, and blocked traffic.
🌍 Deep Dive: Comparing SafeLine to Global WAF Products
1. Performance Benchmark
ProductSingle-Core TPSResource UsageDeployment ComplexitySafeLine WAF CE2000+1 core / 1GB✅ One-click installModSecurity12002 cores / 4GB⚠️ Complex setupCloudflare WAF30004 cores / 8GB❌ Cloud-locked
🌟Highlight: SafeLine offers high performance with a lightweight footprint, ideal for small to mid-sized deployments.
2. Feature Innovation
Dynamic Protection: SafeLine pioneered HTML/JS encryption; most competitors rely on static obfuscation or rule-based models.
Semantic Analysis: No-rule 0day detection using lexical, syntactic, and semantic layers.
Open Source Ecosystem: Free access to core capabilities, unlike most closed-source commercial offerings.
3. Pricing & Use Cases
