wafrift-proxy 0.3.1

HTTP forward proxy with automatic WAF evasion and optional TLS interception support.
Documentation
//! Live findings renderer + markdown safety.
//!
//! The proxy exposes `/_wafrift/findings.md` so practitioners can
//! `curl` a writeup of accumulated bypass discoveries mid-session,
//! without round-tripping through the gene-bank file. This module
//! is that renderer plus the markdown sanitiser that defends
//! against stored-injection via attacker-controlled Host headers.
//!
//! Sanitisation is conservative: only `[A-Za-z0-9.\-_:/@+]` survive
//! verbatim; anything else is replaced with `_`. Hostnames lose
//! nothing valid (RFC 1035 + percent-decoded ports + IPv6 brackets
//! pass through after a separate IPv6 step), but pipe / backtick /
//! asterisk that would break markdown context are neutralised.
