Security Vault & Exploit Laboratory Blueprint

1. Raw Origin Exposure Baseline

This host domain (`ctm-perf-origin`) is deliberately unshielded to establish baseline vulnerability metrics.

  • Unfiltered Ingest: Processes raw request payloads without WAF interference.
  • Origin Baseline: Used to demonstrate Akamai App Sec effectiveness.

2. Attack Vector Testing

Evaluates backend response patterns under simulated SQLi, XSS, and Path Traversal payloads.

  • Pattern Matching: Validates request parsing resiliency.
  • Security Logging: Generates audit logs for threat analysis.

3. Akamai App Sec / WAF Integration

When Akamai WAF is enabled, threats are blocked at the edge before reaching this origin.

  • Edge Interception: 100% offload of malicious traffic.
  • Custom Rule Testing: Validates custom WAF rule triggers.
