F5 NGINX Automation Examples [Part 1-Deploy F5 NGINX Ingress Controller with App ProtectV5 ]
Introduction: Welcome to our initial article on F5 NGINX automation use cases, where we aim to provide deeper insights into the strategies and benefits of implementing NGINX solutions. This series uses the NGINX Automation Examples GitHub repo and CI/CD platform to deploy NGINX solutions based on DevSecOps principles. Our focus will specifically address the integration of NGINX with Terraform, two powerful tools that enhance application delivery and support infrastructure as code. Stay tuned for additional use cases that will be presented in the upcoming content! In this detailed example, we will demonstrate how to deploy an F5 NGINX Ingress Controller with the F5 NGINX App Protect version 5 in the AWS Cloud. We will utilize Terraform to set up an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster that hosts the Arcadia Finance test web application. The NGINX Ingress Controller will manage this application for Kubernetes and will have security measures provided by the NGINX App Protect version 5. To streamline the deployment process, we will integrate GitHub Actions for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) while using an Amazon S3 bucket to manage the state of our Terraform configurations. Prerequisites: F5 NGINX One License AWS Account - Due to the assets being created, the free tier will not work GitHub Account Tools Cloud Provider: AWS Infrastructure as Code: Terraform Infrastructure as Code State: S3 CI/CD: GitHub Action Architecture Diagram NGINX Ingress Controller: This solution provides comprehensive management for API gateways, load balancers, and Kubernetes Ingress Controllers, enhancing security and visibility in hybrid and multicloud environments, particularly at the edge of Kubernetes clusters. Consolidating technology simplifies operations and helps reduce the complexity of using multiple tools. NGINX App Protect WAF v5: A lightweight software security solution designed to deliver high performance and low latency. It supports platform-agnostic deployment, making it suitable for modern microservices and container-based applications. This version integrates both NGINX and Web Application Firewall (WAF) components within a single pod, making it particularly well-suited for scalable, cloud-native environments. Workflow Guides: Deploy NGINX Ingress Controller with App ProtectV5 in AWS Cloud : For detailed, step-by-step instructions on deploying this application in the AWS cloud, please follow this link. It provides a comprehensive guide to help you through the process. Conclusion This article outlines deploying a robust security framework using the NGINX Ingress Controller and NGINX App Protect WAF version 5 for a sample web application hosted on AWS EKS. We leveraged the NGINX Automation Examples Repository and integrated it into a CI/CD pipeline for streamlined deployment. Although the provided code and security configurations are foundational and may not cover every possible scenario, they serve as a valuable starting point for implementing NGINX Ingress Controller and NGINX App Protect version 5 in your own cloud environments.

Scale Your DMZ with F5 Distributed Cloud Services
Modern DMZ Challenges The task of securing and optimizing DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) environments is becoming increasingly complex. A traditional DMZ is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization’s external-facing services to an untrusted network, typically the internet. It serves as a buffer zone between the secure internal network and external networks, providing an additional layer of security to ensure that potentially malicious traffic does not reach critical internal systems directly. To make data center applications accessible on the internet, IT teams traditionally handle several DMZ-related networking operations, including: NAT (Network Address Translation): Converting public IP addresses to private server IPs. DNS Resolution: Ensuring domain names resolve to the correct IP addresses. Load Balancing: Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple servers to ensure reliability, optimal resource utilization, and high availability Security Operations: Deploying protections such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation. With modern microservices-based and API-rich applications handling these DMZ operations at the App Services tier (see highlighted in blue below) or on a per-application basis adds complexity, resulting in some additional challenges impacting app delivery, such as: Management and “stitching” of multiple app DMZ environments at scale Standardized, consistent policy across overall data center deployments Handling unwanted traffic (bad actors and bots) at the global services tier The end result is that modern DMZ requirements need to keep pace with modern microservices-based API-heavy app architectures. Without uniform security or visibility when managing multiple sites across several datacenters or clouds, organizations struggle to maintain visibility and enforce security at scale. Scalable DMZ Solution F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) Services address the modern DMZ challenges by centralizing networking and security functions at the network edge. This includes volumetric DDoS protection, API protection, and Bot mitigation as part of WAF configurations at the network edge. All of this is enabled through the configuration and operation of a Customer Edge (CE) in various on-premises environments, such as VMWare, OpenShift, Nutanix, or F5’s own rSeries appliances. This results in a “separation of duties” for the App Services Tier and Global Services Tier as follows: (1) Global Services Tier Keeps unwanted traffic off your infrastructure Broad-spectrum volumetric DDoS mitigation (L3/L) Anti-abuse, including bot/fraud detection and mitigation Ease of securely exposing applications to the public internet by simplifying or eliminating manual handling of routing and other networking tasks Simplifying workflows for pushing out App DMZ toward the network edge Standard company app security policy / policies used by all apps (2) App Services Tier Retains important / integrated security controls and policy, including automation and CI/CD pipelines at your app Workload-specific security policy definitions and enforcement Closest to the application and Line of Business / security teams managing specific app services Building a Scalable DMZ The configuration described below follows the detailed guide in the F5 Devcentral GitHub repo, which provides steps for creating a secure DMZ environment for a sample application (also included in the GitHub repo) using the F5 rSeries hardware platform. ➡️ See here for a reference architecture with details about which F5 rSeries platforms run the F5 XC Customer Edge (CE) The setup includes two Data Centers, each having an origin pool that connects to the XC site installed in F5 rSeries. The XC site is connected to the BIG-IP, where a Virtual Server is configured. The included sample app is located inside the Virtual Server Pool of the BIG-IP appliance, and is protected by Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS Protection, and Bot Protection; it also leverages the API Discovery feature of the XC platform. The steps include the following: Configuring the BIG-IP on F5 rSeries; Configuring of the Customer Edge (CE) Sites on F5 rSeries; Demo application deployment in the Data Center; Configuring the XC Cloud Secure Mesh Site and combining them into a single Virtual Site; Exposing the application to the Internet using the HTTP Load Balancer; Protecting the application with a Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS Protection, Bot Protection, and API Discovery; Upgrading the solution with a second Data Center and configuring the HTTP Load Balancer for a complete DMZ configuration. The end result is a modern topology for flexible and scalable networking connectivity, enhanced performance, and protection captured in the following diagram: At the core of this solution is the Customer Edge (CE), which allows organizations to establish Secure Mesh Sites in various environments. By integrating CE with F5 XC, organizations can create a Virtual Site, simplifying access management while allowing for future scalability. Once the Secure Mesh Site is established, application traffic can be exposed and optimized using an HTTP Load Balancer within F5 XC. This enables efficient routing, automated certificate management, and secure connectivity to backend application services. For organizations requiring failover and redundancy, additional Secure Mesh Sites and Virtual Sites can be configured across multiple data centers. This ensures that applications remain accessible even if one data center experiences downtime, improving resilience and disaster recovery capabilities. Solution Demo Conclusion: A Modern Approach to Scaling DMZ By leveraging F5 Distributed Cloud Services, organizations can transition from traditional, fragmented DMZ architectures to a more scalable, cloud-integrated security model. Centralizing networking and security functions at the edge prevents unwanted traffic from reaching core infrastructure, ensures policy consistency across deployments, and simplifies multi-cloud networking. For organizations looking to implement this model in their own environments, the F5 DevCentral GitHub repository provides a detailed Workflow Guide covering the step-by-step setup process. This guide offers a structured approach to configuring Secure Mesh Sites, deploying CEs, and integrating application security services, enabling teams to modernize their DMZ architecture with confidence. As security and networking challenges evolve, adopting a scalable, edge-based DMZ strategy ensures greater efficiency, stronger security, and seamless application delivery across hybrid multi-cloud environments.

BIG-IP BGP Routing Protocol Configuration And Use Cases
Is the F5 BIG-IP a router? Yes! No! Wait what? Can the BIG-IP run a routing protocol? Yes. But should it be deployed as a core router? An edge router? Stay tuned. We'll explore these questions and more through a series of common use cases using BGP on the BIG-IP... And oddly I just realized how close in typing BGP and BIG-IP are, so hopefully my editors will keep me honest. (squirrel!) In part one we will explore the routing components on the BIG-IP and some basic configuration details to help you understand what the appliance is capable of. Please pay special attention to some of the gotchas along the way. Can I Haz BGP? Ok. So your BIG-IP comes with ZebOS in order to provide routing functionality, but what happens when you turn it on? What do you need to do to get routing updates in to the BGP process? And well does my licensing cover it? Starting with the last question… tmsh show /sys license | grep "Routing Bundle" The above command will help you determine if you’re going to be able to proceed, or be stymied at the bridge like the Black Knight in the Holy Grail. Fear not! There are many licensing options that already come with the routing bundle. Enabling Routing First and foremost, the routing protocol configuration is tied to the route-domain. What’s a route-domain? I’m so glad you asked! Route-domains are separate Layer 3 route tables within the BIG-IP. There is a concept of parent and child route domains, so while they’re similar to another routing concept you may be familiar with; VRF’s, they’re no t quite the same but in many ways they are. Just think of them this way for now. For this context we will just say they are. Therefore, you can enable routing protocols on the individual route-domains. Each route-domain can have it’s own set of routing protocols. Or run no routing protocols at all. By default the BIG-IP starts with just route-domain 0. And well because most router guys live on the cli, we’ll walk through the configuration examples that way on the BIG-IP. tmsh modify net route-domain 0 routing-protocol add { BGP } So great! Now we’re off and running BGP. So the world know’s we’re here right? Nope. Considering what you want to advertise. The most common advertisements sourced from the BIG-IP are the IP addresses for virtual servers. Now why would I want to do that? I can just put the BIG-IP on a large subnet and it will respond to ARP requests and send gratuitous ARPs (GARP). So that I can reach the virtual servers just fine. <rant> Author's opinion here: I consider this one of the worst BIG-IP implementation methods. Why? Well for starters, what if you want to expand the number of virtual servers on the BIG-IP? Well then you need to re-IP the network interfaces of all the devices (routers, firewalls, servers) in order to expand the subnet mask. Yuck! Don't even talk to me about secondary subnets. Second: ARP floods! Too many times I see issues where the BIG-IP has to send a flood of GARPs; and well the infrastructure, in an attempt to protect its control plane, filters/rate limits the number of incoming requests it will accept. So engineers are left to try and troubleshoot the case of the missing GARPs Third: Sometimes you need to migrate applications to maybe another BIG-IP appliance as it grew to big for the existing infrastructure. Having it tied to this interface just leads to confusion. I'm sure there's some corner cases where this is the best route. But I would say it's probably in the minority. </rant> I can hear you all now… “So what do you propose kind sir?” See? I can hear you... Treat the virtual servers as loopback interfaces. Then they’re not tied to a specific interface. To move them you just need to start advertising the /32 from another spot (Yes. You could statically route it too. I hear you out there wanting to show your routing chops.) But also, the only GARPs are those from the self-ip's This allows you to statically route of course the entire /24 to the BIG-IP’s self IP address, but also you can use one of them fancy routing protocols to announce the routes either individually or through a summarization. Announcing Routes Hear ye hear ye! I want the world to know about my virtual servers. *ahem* So quick little tangent on BIG-IP nomenclature. The virtual server does not get announced in the routing protocol. “Well then what does?” Eery mind reading isn't it? Remember from BIG-IP 101, a virtual server is an IP address and port combination and well, routing protocols don’t do well with carrying the port across our network. So what BIG-IP object is solely an IP address construct? The virtual-address! “Wait what?” Yeah… It’s a menu item I often forget is there too. But here’s where you let the BIG-IP know you want to advertise the virtual-address associated with the virtual server. But… but… but… you can have multiple virtual servers tied to a single IP address (http/https/etc.) and that’s where the choices for when to advertise come in. tmsh modify ltm virtual-address 10.99.99.100 route-advertisement all There are four states a virtual address can be in: Unknown, Enabled, Disabled and Offline. When the virtual address is in Unknown or Enabled state, its route will be added to the kernel routing table. When the virtual address is in Disabled or Offline state, its route will be removed if present and will not be added if not already present. But the best part is, you can use this to only advertise the route when the virtual server and it’s associated pool members are all up and functioning. In simple terms we call this route health injection. Based on the health of the application we will conditionally announce the route in to the routing protocol. At this point, if you’d followed me this far you’re probably asking what controls those conditions. I’ll let the K article expand on the options a bit. https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K15923612 “So what does BGP have to do with popcorn?” Popcorn? Ohhhhhhhhhhh….. kernel! I see what you did there! I’m talking about the operating system kernel silly. So when a virtual-address is in an unknown or enabled state and it is healthy, the route gets put in the kernel routing table. But that doesn’t get it in to the BGP process. Here is how the kernel (are we getting hungry?) routes are represented in the routing table with a 'K' This is where the fun begins! You guessed it! Route redistribution? Route redistribution! And well to take a step back I guess we need to get you to the ZebOS interface. To enter the router configuration cli from the bash command line, simply type imish. In a multi-route-domain configuration you would need to supply the route-domain number but in this case since we’re just using the 0 default we’re good. It’s a very similar interface to many vendor’s router and switch configuration so many of you CCIE’s should feel right at home. It even still lets you do a write memory or wr mem without having to create an alias. Clearly dating myself here.. I’m not going to get in to the full BGP configuration at this point but the simplest way to get the kernel routes in to the BGP process is simply going under the BGP process and redisitrubting the kernel routes. BUT WAIT! Thar be dragons in that configuration! First landmine and a note about kernel routes. If you manually configure a static route on the BIG-IP via tmsh or the tmui those will show up also as kernel routes Why is that concerning? Well an example is where engineers configure a static default route on the BIG-IP via tmsh. And well, when you redistribute kernel routes and that default route is now being advertised into BGP. Congrats! AND the BIG-IP is NOT your default gateway hilarity ensues. And by hilarity I mean the type of laugh that comes out as you're updating your resume. The lesson here is ALWAYS when doing route redistribution always use a route filter to ensure only your intended routes or IP range make it in to the routing protocol. This goes for your neighbor statements too. In both directions! You should control what routes come in and leave the device. Another way to have some disasterous consequences with BIG-IP routing is through summarization. If you are doing summarization, keep in mind that BGP advertises based on reachability to the networks it wants to advertise. In this case, BGP is receiving it in the form of kernel routes from tmm. But those are /32 addresses and lots of them! And you want to advertise a /23 summary route. But the lone virtual-address that is configured for route advertisement; and the only one your BGP process knows about within that range has a monitor that fails. The summary route will be withdrawn leaving all the /23 stranded. Be sure to configure all your virtual-addresses within that range for advertisement.

It's not just about stopping breaches but to fostering unshakable trust in the systems we depend on. \n This risk centers around vulnerabilities that arise when applications fail to properly validate the integrity of their software, data, or dependencies. Such lapses can result in serious outcomes, including data manipulation, supply chain attacks, and compromised applications. \n Consequences: \n The consequences of OWASP Software and Data Integrity attacks can be severe, impacting both the security and functionality of web applications. Here are some potential outcomes like. \n \n Compromised Data Integrity: Attackers may alter, manipulate, or corrupt critical data, resulting in inaccurate information being stored or processed. This undermines the reliability and trustworthiness of the system, especially in sectors where data integrity is vital, such as finance, healthcare, and law. \n Malicious Code Execution: Exploiting software vulnerabilities could allow attackers to inject malicious code, leading to unauthorized command execution. This can cause unpredictable system behavior or open backdoors for further attacks. \n Damage to Reputation: Data breaches or integrity violations often erode trust among users, customers, and partners, damaging the organization’s reputation. This can lead to a loss of customer loyalty and, ultimately, lost business opportunities. \n Financial Consequences: Attacks on software and data integrity may result in significant financial losses, including fines for non-compliance, recovery costs, legal fees, and potential compensation to affected parties. In some cases, these attacks may even result in direct financial theft or fraud. \n Compliance Breaches: Many industries are subject to strict regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS). A data integrity breach can lead to non-compliance, exposing the organization to legal penalties or loss of certifications for handling sensitive data. \n \n In this article, we will explore how BIG-IP Advanced WAF is effectively mitigating these types of attacks through an exemplary demonstration. \n Example - Manipulating Data Integrity with Insecure File Upload: \n Topology: \n \n Demonstration: \n For this demonstration, we have set up a vulnerable application (DVWA) on an AWS instance and are utilizing a BIG-IP Virtual Server to direct client requests to the vulnerable application server. \n Please follow the link to deploy the DVWA application in Ubuntu. \n Also, we need to add the DVWA application as a pool member to the BIGIP virtual server. \n You can refer adding-pool-info document if you need any assistance. \n BIG-IP WAF Policy Config Steps: \n \n Log in to the BIG-IP console, go to Security > Application Security > Security Policies, and create a new application policy with the following configurations. \n Enforcement mode: Transparent \n Signature Staging: Enabled \n Virtual Sever: < Virtual server on which the endpoint (DVWA application) is accessible> \n \n Note: Staging is enabled by default when creating an application security policy, with a default staging period of 7 days. This can be adjusted based on the customer’s needs. For more details about staging, refer to the Attack Signatures & Staging section. \n \n Now try to access the application through virtual server. \n Try to upload a PHP file through the “file upload” button and verify whether the application permits the upload. This could potentially allow an attacker to modify server files or corrupt data. \n Access the uploaded file’s URL to execute it. This could provide the attacker with control over the web server via the uploaded PHP shell, enabling them to read, modify, or delete files, manipulate databases, and alter application data. \n The corresponding logs can be found under the BIG-IP Advanced WAF event requests section. \n Since the enforcement mode is set to transparent, the attack is detected and triggered with an “Alarm” action. \n Let’s change the enforcement mode to blocking. \n \n Now, try to upload the same PHP file using file upload button. \n As shown here, BIG-IP Advanced WAF successfully detected the attack and blocked it, providing a support ID for reference. \n \n Let’s see the detailed log-in events à requests section. \n \n \n \n \n \n Conclusion: \n In conclusion, BIG-IP Advanced WAF offers robust protection against software and data integrity threats, aligning with OWASP best practices to safeguard applications and sensitive data. By effectively detecting and mitigating vulnerabilities such as data tampering, unauthorized access, and other integrity risks, it ensures the security and trustworthiness of your deployments. With the rapidly evolving threat landscape, utilizing BIG-IP Advanced WAF is a critical step in maintaining secure, reliable, and compliant web application environments. \n Reference Links: \n https://owasp.org/Top10/A08_2021-Software_and_Data_Integrity_Failures/ \n Software and data integrity failures (A8) | Secure against the OWASP Top 10 for 2021 ","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":true,\"removeTocMarkup\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})@stringLength":"5671","kudosSumWeight":0,"repliesCount":0,"readOnly":false,"images":{"__typename":"AssociatedImageConnection","edges":[{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDE","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtckpnOEF1?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDI","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtNWlMTjI2?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDM","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtUUdSTTM0?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDQ","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtdXhpUU55?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDU","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtQTY5THUx?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDY","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtQlRDdks3?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDc","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtRDZWMUFq?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDg","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtTGZmZERV?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDk","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtUkJpNVlQ?revision=5\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuMnwyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDEw","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zNDAyMjgtSDJKclhz?revision=5\"}"}}],"totalCount":10,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"videos":{"__typename":"VideoConnection","edges":[],"totalCount":0,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}}},"Conversation:conversation:331165":{"__typename":"Conversation","id":"conversation:331165","topic":{"__typename":"TkbTopicMessage","uid":331165},"lastPostingActivityTime":"2025-04-02T12:35:27.882-07:00","solved":false},"User:user:189442":{"__typename":"User","uid":189442,"login":"Greg_Coward","registrationData":{"__typename":"RegistrationData","status":null},"deleted":false,"avatar":{"__typename":"UserAvatar","url":"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/dS0xODk0NDItOHNzWXY0?image-coordinates=250%2C0%2C1960%2C1710"},"id":"user:189442"},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zMzExNjUtbjg1TzlH?revision=12\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zMzExNjUtbjg1TzlH?revision=12","title":"Screenshot 2025-03-20 at 4.40.51 PM.png","associationType":"BODY","width":2963,"height":1720,"altText":""},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zMzExNjUtOVdicDli?revision=12\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zMzExNjUtOVdicDli?revision=12","title":"Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 4.50.40 PM.png","associationType":"BODY","width":3192,"height":1578,"altText":""},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zMzExNjUtRzFEejBC?revision=12\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://community.f5.com/t5/s/zihoc95639/images/bS0zMzExNjUtRzFEejBC?revision=12","title":"Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 4.51.35 PM.png","associationType":"BODY","width":2748,"height":638,"altText":""},"TkbTopicMessage:message:331165":{"__typename":"TkbTopicMessage","subject":"The Business Partner Exchange -

It will show you how to reduce the risk of Web Application Insecure Design using web scraping and using BIG-IP Bot Defense. \n \n Introduction to Insecure Design \n Insecure design refers to flaws or defects in a software systems planning, architectural design, logic along with vulnerable tools used to build an application, that give opportunity to the attacker to exploit these flaws and make system compromise. Security should always be considered as a priority from the planning to deployment phases. Neglecting security considerations makes the system components loosely coupled and gives rise to major vulnerabilities as mentioned below, \n \n Injection vulnerabilities \n Bot attacks \n Authentication bypass \n \n The above vulnerabilities can be avoided by carefully considering security during every phase of application implementation. By conducting proper techniques such as input data validation, valid authorization, proper data protection, and log monitoring helps to prevent insecure design vulnerabilities. \n BIG-IP provides a unique solution to handle different perceptions of vulnerabilities and provides maximum solution to cover insecure design flaws. Thereby protecting the application from the attackers. \n \n Fig 1: Application with multiple vulnerabilities due to improper design and implementation \n \n Fig 2: BIG-IP Bot Defense protecting the application from Bot attacks \n BIG-IP Bot Defense distinguishes between benign and malicious bots and thereby defends the application against automated attacks like web robots (bots). \n This article aims to create BIG-IP Bot Defense profile to protect the web application against bot attacks. \n \n Bot Defense configuration and attack mitigation \n The steps mentioned below give brief details about creating a Bot Defense policy along with generating bot attacks and mitigating it using BIG-IP. \n \n Generate bot attack \n Apply Bot Defense policy using BIG-IP and verify the behavior \n \n Note: Following configs and validation is done on BIG-IP VE with version: BIG-IP 16.1.5.2 Build 0.0.5 Point Release 2  \n Step 1: Generating bot attack \n An automated script is used to generate the bot attack on the application. Evershop Demo app does not have protection against bots run by scalpers. The automated script performs buying the product in larger quantities in short span of time and reselling the product with higher prices. This causes huge losses for the e-commerce site. \n To exploit bot vulnerability in the Application, I chose Evershop e-commerce demo application. \n \n Below is the code used to buy an item from the demo app. \n \n Below logs specify the same items brought multiple times by a single user. \n \n \n Step 2: Configuring Bot Defense policy and verifying the behavior \n Now, let’s apply the Bot Defense policy to BIG-IP and observe the behavior. \n \n On the Main tab, click Security > Bot Defense > Bot Defense Profiles. Click on Create. \n Enter the name of the profile. \n Select Enforcement Mode as Blocking and Signature Staging upon Update as Disabled. \n Click on Save to create the profile. \n \n \n After configuring a Bot Defense profile, we must assign it to a virtual server to make the application protected from bot attacks. \n \n On the Main tab, click Local Traffic > Virtual Servers and select the virtual server to associate the Bot Defense policy. \n Click Security > Policies. \n Under Policy Settings for Bot Defense profile, select Enabled and select the Bot Defense profile created above. \n \n \n \n Click Update to save the policy settings. \n \n Now, let’s run the above script to generate a bot attack and observe the behavior. \n \n \n It is observed that Bot Defense prevents bots from accessing the website. \n \n \n Conclusion \n BIG-IP Bot Defense acts as a circle of protection against the issues caused by different kinds of bot attack. With the key strategies involving input validation, distinguishing between benign and malicious bots, logging security events provided by BIG-IP provides a better solution to protect the applications

Introduction \n Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a type of vulnerability that allows an attacker to make arbitrary requests from a server to other internal or external resources. This attack exploits the trust that a server has in making HTTP requests to other systems, often bypassing firewalls or other security measures that restrict access to certain parts of a network. \n How SSRF Works \n In an SSRF attack, an attacker sends a crafted request to a vulnerable server, tricking it into sending a request to an internal or external resource on behalf of the attacker. The key factor in an SSRF attack is that the request is made by the server itself, which can lead to dangerous consequences depending on the server's configuration and what it has access to. \n Types of SSRF Attacks \n \n Internal Network Access: The attacker might be able to use SSRF to access internal systems and services that are not exposed to the outside world. This can include databases, administration panels, or other internal endpoints. \n Bypassing Firewall/ACLs: SSRF can bypass firewalls and access control lists (ACLs) because the server might have fewer restrictions on outgoing requests, especially to local or internal IP addresses. \n Exploiting Services with Poor Security: Some services, like web servers or cloud services, may have weak configurations that could be exploited through SSRF. For example, SSRF could target metadata endpoints on cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud) to retrieve sensitive configuration data like secret keys or instance metadata. \n Denial of Service (DoS): An attacker can use SSRF to overwhelm an internal service by sending many requests, effectively causing a denial of service. \n \n Example: \n Imagine an application that allows users to provide URLs for fetching data (like images or metadata). If the server does not properly validate or sanitize user input, an attacker can supply a URL pointing to an internal service that is not directly accessible from outside the server, like http://localhost/admin. The server, believing this is a legitimate request, might send the request internally, potentially leaking sensitive information or accessing restricted services. \n \n \n \n \n \n Attack Demonstration and Mitigation: \n For this attack demonstration, we will look at how we can retrieve sensitive metadata from an instance running on AWS using the SSRF attack. To perform this attack we are going to use the DVWA demo application, which is deployed in the same instance as the docker container. This application is added as a pool member to BIG-IP and can be accessed via a virtual server. For more information, refer to how to add pool member. \n \n \n \n Login to BIG-IP console and navigate to Security > Application Security > Security Policies > and create an application policy with below configurations. \n Enforcement mode: Blocking \n Signature Staging: Enabled \n Policy Building Learning Mode: Automatic \n Virtual Server: < Virtual server on which dvwa application is accessible > \n Other configs are set to default values \n Note: Staging is enabled by default while creating the application security policy and the default staging period is 7 days. It can be tuned according to the customer’s requirements. For more information related to staging, refer to Attack Signatures & Staging \n \n \n First navigate to the “File Inclusion” page of the DVWA application and next, if you take a close look at the URL, there is a query parameter called “page” which takes some path as input. \n \n Now replace the query parameter value with AWS metadata server URL (http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/) and send the request. As you can see, we are able to retrieve all the metadata of the instance which contains sensitive details like IP, OS info, etc. \n \n Now let’s try to retrieve the public IP, region, ami-id, instance-type of the instance from the metadata. With these details, an attacker will be easily able to launch a DDOS attack on the application. \n \n For the purpose of this demo, we've done the first test having staging enabled. Since staging is enabled and the staging period (by default 7 days) is not completed, Advanced WAF will be able to detect the malicious request but it won’t block the request. Only when the staging period gets completed, all the malicious requests that are detected will get blocked. For more information on staging and staging period, refer to Staging. \n \n Let’s try to generate the attack again post the configured staging period, and as you can see below, Advanced WAF was able to detect and block the attack. \n \n \n \n \n Conclusion: \n This article covers the basics of SSRF attacks, its types, and a simple demonstration of this attack. We have also showcased how these attacks can be effectively mitigated by implementing robust application policies and enforcing relevant attack signatures through F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF ensuring enhanced security against such vulnerabilities. \n For further information, please refer to: \n SSRF ATTACK-OWASP \n Mitigating SSRF Attack Using F5 Distributed Cloud Platform

In turn, KubeVirt is based on the KVM/QEMU projects. VMs running in OpenShift Virtualization can be plugged into the POD network and/or in external networks, being able to replace a VMware platform. \n This article has an attached guide (PDF) that shows how to move workloads and BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) instances from VMware with vSphere networking to OpenShift Virtualization. This guide is aligned with the OpenShift Virtualization Reference Implementation Guide and the OpenShift Migration Toolkit for Virtualization. The latter facilitates the migration of application VMs. \n \n Overview of the guide \n The guide is composed of the following sections: \n \n Overview of the migration process \n Network considerations \n Preparatory works \n Migration procedure \n Additional information \n \n The guide is meant to be self-contained and includes all the details needed. In https://github.com/f5devcentral/f5-bd-openshift-virt-migration/tree/main you will find sample manifests to be used alongside the guide. \n Note that migrating a BIG-IP VE from VMware to OpenShift Virtualization doesn’t require any additional licenses. The existing licenses can be re-used. \n Note also that OpenShift Virtualization requires the Q35 machine type, which is supported starting with BIG-IP versions 15.1.0, 16.1.5, and 17.1.1.

A traditional DMZ is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization’s external-facing services to an untrusted network, typically the internet. It serves as a buffer zone between the secure internal network and external networks, providing an additional layer of security to ensure that potentially malicious traffic does not reach critical internal systems directly. \n To make data center applications accessible on the internet, IT teams traditionally handle several DMZ-related networking operations, including: \n \n NAT (Network Address Translation): Converting public IP addresses to private server IPs. \n DNS Resolution: Ensuring domain names resolve to the correct IP addresses. \n Load Balancing: Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple servers to ensure reliability, optimal resource utilization, and high availability \n Security Operations: Deploying protections such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation. \n \n With modern microservices-based and API-rich applications handling these DMZ operations at the App Services tier (see highlighted in blue below) or on a per-application basis adds complexity, resulting in some additional challenges impacting app delivery, such as: \n \n Management and “stitching” of multiple app DMZ environments at scale \n Standardized, consistent policy across overall data center deployments \n Handling unwanted traffic (bad actors and bots) at the global services tier \n \n \n The end result is that modern DMZ requirements need to keep pace with modern microservices-based API-heavy app architectures. Without uniform security or visibility when managing multiple sites across several datacenters or clouds, organizations struggle to maintain visibility and enforce security at scale. \n Scalable DMZ Solution \n F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) Services address the modern DMZ challenges by centralizing networking and security functions at the network edge. This includes volumetric DDoS protection, API protection, and Bot mitigation as part of WAF configurations at the network edge. \n All of this is enabled through the configuration and operation of a Customer Edge (CE) in various on-premises environments, such as VMWare, OpenShift, Nutanix, or F5’s own rSeries appliances. This results in a “separation of duties” for the App Services Tier and Global Services Tier as follows: \n (1) Global Services Tier \n \n Keeps unwanted traffic off your infrastructure \n Broad-spectrum volumetric DDoS mitigation (L3/L) \n Anti-abuse, including bot/fraud detection and mitigation \n Ease of securely exposing applications to the public internet by simplifying or eliminating manual handling of routing and other networking tasks \n Simplifying workflows for pushing out App DMZ toward the network edge \n Standard company app security policy / policies used by all apps \n \n (2) App Services Tier \n \n Retains important / integrated security controls and policy, including automation and CI/CD pipelines at your app \n Workload-specific security policy definitions and enforcement \n Closest to the application and Line of Business / security teams managing specific app services \n \n \n Building a Scalable DMZ \n The configuration described below follows the detailed guide in the F5 Devcentral GitHub repo, which provides steps for creating a secure DMZ environment for a sample application (also included in the GitHub repo) using the F5 rSeries hardware platform. \n ➡️ See here for a reference architecture with details about which F5 rSeries platforms run the F5 XC Customer Edge (CE) \n The setup includes two Data Centers, each having an origin pool that connects to the XC site installed in F5 rSeries. The XC site is connected to the BIG-IP, where a Virtual Server is configured. The included sample app is located inside the Virtual Server Pool of the BIG-IP appliance, and is protected by Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS Protection, and Bot Protection; it also leverages the API Discovery feature of the XC platform. \n The steps include the following: \n \n Configuring the BIG-IP on F5 rSeries; \n Configuring of the Customer Edge (CE) Sites on F5 rSeries; \n Demo application deployment in the Data Center; \n Configuring the XC Cloud Secure Mesh Site and combining them into a single Virtual Site; \n Exposing the application to the Internet using the HTTP Load Balancer; \n Protecting the application with a Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS Protection, Bot Protection, and API Discovery; \n Upgrading the solution with a second Data Center and configuring the HTTP Load Balancer for a complete DMZ configuration. \n \n The end result is a modern topology for flexible and scalable networking connectivity, enhanced performance, and protection captured in the following diagram: \n \n At the core of this solution is the Customer Edge (CE), which allows organizations to establish Secure Mesh Sites in various environments. By integrating CE with F5 XC, organizations can create a Virtual Site, simplifying access management while allowing for future scalability. \n Once the Secure Mesh Site is established, application traffic can be exposed and optimized using an HTTP Load Balancer within F5 XC. This enables efficient routing, automated certificate management, and secure connectivity to backend application services. \n For organizations requiring failover and redundancy, additional Secure Mesh Sites and Virtual Sites can be configured across multiple data centers. This ensures that applications remain accessible even if one data center experiences downtime, improving resilience and disaster recovery capabilities. \n Solution Demo \n \n Conclusion: A Modern Approach to Scaling DMZ \n By leveraging F5 Distributed Cloud Services, organizations can transition from traditional, fragmented DMZ architectures to a more scalable, cloud-integrated security model. Centralizing networking and security functions at the edge prevents unwanted traffic from reaching core infrastructure, ensures policy consistency across deployments, and simplifies multi-cloud networking. \n For organizations looking to implement this model in their own environments, the F5 DevCentral GitHub repository provides a detailed Workflow Guide covering the step-by-step setup process. This guide offers a structured approach to configuring Secure Mesh Sites, deploying CEs, and integrating application security services, enabling teams to modernize their DMZ architecture with confidence. \n As security and networking challenges evolve, adopting a scalable, edge-based DMZ strategy ensures greater efficiency, stronger security, and seamless application delivery across hybrid

\n Is the F5 BIG-IP a router? Yes! No! Wait what? \n Can the BIG-IP run a routing protocol? Yes. But should it be deployed as a core router? An edge router? \n Stay tuned. We'll explore these questions and more through a series of common use cases using BGP on the BIG-IP... And oddly I just realized how close in typing BGP and BIG-IP are, so hopefully my editors will keep me honest. (squirrel!) \n In part one we will explore the routing components on the BIG-IP and some basic configuration details to help you understand what the appliance is capable of. Please pay special attention to some of the gotchas along the way. \n Can I Haz BGP? \n \n Ok. So your BIG-IP comes with ZebOS in order to provide routing functionality, but what happens when you turn it on? What do you need to do to get routing updates in to the BGP process? And well does my licensing cover it? Starting with the last question… \n tmsh show /sys license | grep \"Routing Bundle\" \n The above command will help you determine if you’re going to be able to proceed, or be stymied at the bridge like the Black Knight in the Holy Grail. \n Fear not! There are many licensing options that already come with the routing bundle. \n Enabling Routing \n First and foremost, the routing protocol configuration is tied to the route-domain. What’s a route-domain? I’m so glad you asked! \n \n Route-domains are separate Layer 3 route tables within the BIG-IP. There is a concept of parent and child route domains, so while they’re similar to another routing concept you may be familiar with; VRF’s, they’re no t quite the same but in many ways they are. Just think of them this way for now. For this context we will just say they are. Therefore, you can enable routing protocols on the individual route-domains. Each route-domain can have it’s own set of routing protocols. Or run no routing protocols at all. \n By default the BIG-IP starts with just route-domain 0. And well because most router guys live on the cli, we’ll walk through the configuration examples that way on the BIG-IP. \n tmsh modify net route-domain 0 routing-protocol add { BGP } \n So great! Now we’re off and running BGP. So the world know’s we’re here right? Nope. \n Considering what you want to advertise. \n The most common advertisements sourced from the BIG-IP are the IP addresses for virtual servers. Now why would I want to do that? I can just put the BIG-IP on a large subnet and it will respond to ARP requests and send gratuitous ARPs (GARP). So that I can reach the virtual servers just fine. \n <rant> \n Author's opinion here: I consider this one of the worst BIG-IP implementation methods. Why? Well for starters, what if you want to expand the number of virtual servers on the BIG-IP? Well then you need to re-IP the network interfaces of all the devices (routers, firewalls, servers) in order to expand the subnet mask. Yuck! Don't even talk to me about secondary subnets. \n Second: ARP floods! Too many times I see issues where the BIG-IP has to send a flood of GARPs; and well the infrastructure, in an attempt to protect its control plane, filters/rate limits the number of incoming requests it will accept. So engineers are left to try and troubleshoot the case of the missing GARPs \n Third: Sometimes you need to migrate applications to maybe another BIG-IP appliance as it grew to big for the existing infrastructure. Having it tied to this interface just leads to confusion. \n I'm sure there's some corner cases where this is the best route. But I would say it's probably in the minority. \n </rant> \n I can hear you all now… “So what do you propose kind sir?” \n See? I can hear you... \n Treat the virtual servers as loopback interfaces. Then they’re not tied to a specific interface. To move them you just need to start advertising the /32 from another spot (Yes. You could statically route it too. I hear you out there wanting to show your routing chops.) But also, the only GARPs are those from the self-ip's \n This allows you to statically route of course the entire /24 to the BIG-IP’s self IP address, but also you can use one of them fancy routing protocols to announce the routes either individually or through a summarization. \n Announcing Routes \n Hear ye hear ye! I want the world to know about my virtual servers. *ahem* \n So quick little tangent on BIG-IP nomenclature. The virtual server does not get announced in the routing protocol. “Well then what does?” \n Eery mind reading isn't it? Remember from BIG-IP 101, a virtual server is an IP address and port combination and well, routing protocols don’t do well with carrying the port across our network. So what BIG-IP object is solely an IP address construct? The virtual-address! \n “Wait what?” Yeah… It’s a menu item I often forget is there too. But here’s where you let the BIG-IP know you want to advertise the virtual-address associated with the virtual server. But… but… but… you can have multiple virtual servers tied to a single IP address (http/https/etc.) and that’s where the choices for when to advertise come in. \n tmsh modify ltm virtual-address 10.99.99.100 route-advertisement all \n There are four states a virtual address can be in: Unknown, Enabled, Disabled and Offline. When the virtual address is in Unknown or Enabled state, its route will be added to the kernel routing table. When the virtual address is in Disabled or Offline state, its route will be removed if present and will not be added if not already present. But the best part is, you can use this to only advertise the route when the virtual server and it’s associated pool members are all up and functioning. In simple terms we call this route health injection. Based on the health of the application we will conditionally announce the route in to the routing protocol. \n At this point, if you’d followed me this far you’re probably asking what controls those conditions. I’ll let the K article expand on the options a bit. https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K15923612 \n “So what does BGP have to do with popcorn?” \n Popcorn? Ohhhhhhhhhhh….. kernel! I see what you did there! \n \n I’m talking about the operating system kernel silly. So when a virtual-address is in an unknown or enabled state and it is healthy, the route gets put in the kernel routing table. But that doesn’t get it in to the BGP process. Here is how the kernel (are we getting hungry?) routes are represented in the routing table with a 'K' \n \n \n \n This is where the fun begins! You guessed it! Route redistribution? Route redistribution! \n And well to take a step back I guess we need to get you to the ZebOS interface. \n To enter the router configuration cli from the bash command line, simply type imish. In a multi-route-domain configuration you would need to supply the route-domain number but in this case since we’re just using the 0 default we’re good. It’s a very similar interface to many vendor’s router and switch configuration so many of you CCIE’s should feel right at home. It even still lets you do a write memory or wr mem without having to create an alias. Clearly dating myself here.. \n I’m not going to get in to the full BGP configuration at this point but the simplest way to get the kernel routes in to the BGP process is simply going under the BGP process and redisitrubting the kernel routes. \n \n BUT WAIT! Thar be dragons in that configuration! \n First landmine and a note about kernel routes. If you manually configure a static route on the BIG-IP via tmsh or the tmui those will show up also as kernel routes \n \n \n Why is that concerning? Well an example is where engineers configure a static default route on the BIG-IP via tmsh. And well, when you redistribute kernel routes and that default route is now being advertised into BGP. Congrats! AND the BIG-IP is NOT your default gateway hilarity ensues. And by hilarity I mean the type of laugh that comes out as you're updating your resume. \n The lesson here is ALWAYS when doing route redistribution always use a route filter to ensure only your intended routes or IP range make it in to the routing protocol. This goes for your neighbor statements too. In both directions! You should control what routes come in and leave the device. \n Another way to have some disasterous consequences with BIG-IP routing is through summarization. If you are doing summarization, keep in mind that BGP advertises based on reachability to the networks it wants to advertise. In this case, BGP is receiving it in the form of kernel routes from tmm. But those are /32 addresses and lots of them! And you want to advertise a /23 summary route. But the lone virtual-address that is configured for route advertisement; and the only one your BGP process knows about within that range has a monitor that fails. \n The summary route will be withdrawn leaving all the /23 stranded. Be sure to configure all your virtual-addresses within that range for advertisement. \n Next: BGP Behavior In High Availability Configurations \n

\n Introduction: \n The F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) Bot Defense protects web and mobile properties from automated attacks by identifying and mitigating malicious bots. The Bot Defense uses JavaScript and API calls to collect telemetry and mitigate malicious users. \n The F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) Bot Defense is available in Standard and Enterprise service levels. In both the service levels the Bot Defense is available for traffic form web, web scarping, and mobile. The web scrapping is only applicable to web endpoints. \n This article will show you how to configure and use F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense (XC Bot Defense) on BIG-IP version 17.1 and above and monitor the solution on F5 Distributed Cloud Console (XC Console). \n Prerequisites: \n \n A valid XC Console account. If you don't have an account, visit Create a Distributed Cloud Console Account. \n An Organization plan. If you don't have an Organization plan, upgrade your plan. \n \n Getting Started: \n Log In to F5 XC Console: \n If XC Bot Defense isn't enabled, a Bot Defense landing page appears. Select Request Service to enable XC Bot Defense. \n If XC Bot Defense is enabled, you will see the tiles. Select Bot Defense. \n Verify you are in the correct Namespace. If your Namespace does not have any Protected Applications you will see the following page. \n \n Click Add Protected Application \n \n When you select a Namespace that has been configured with Protected Applications you will see this page. \n Scroll down to Manage \n \n Click Applications \n Click Add Application \n \n The Protected Application page is presented. \n Enter: \n \n Name \n Labels \n Description \n Select the Application Region - US in this example \n Connector Type - BIG-IP iApp for this demo. Cloudfront and Custom are other available connectors \n \n \n Scroll to the bottom and Click Save and Exit \n That will take you back to the Protected Applications Page. \n \n Verify your Application is listed with all the Metadata you supplied. \n Click the three ellipses to the right. \n \n \n Scroll down into the highlighted area and click and Copy App ID, Tenant ID and API Key \n \n \n \n Copy and save each value to a location where you can access it in the next steps. \n That completes the configuartion of F5 XC Console. \n Log In to your BIG-IP \n You will Notice in version 17.1 and above you will have a new selection along the left pane called Distributed Cloud Services. Expand and you will see all the latest integrations F5 provides. \n \n Application Traffic Insight \n Bot Defense \n Client-Side Defense \n Account Protection & Authentication Intelligence \n Cloud Services \n \n This article as stated before will focus on Bot Defense. Look for future articles that will focus on the other integrations. \n On the Main tab, Click Distributed Cloud Services > Bot Defense > Bot Profiles and Select Create \n This will bring up the General Properties page where you will enter required and optional information. \n Mandatory items have a Blue line on the edge. \n \n Supply a Name \n Application ID - From previous step \n Tenant ID - From previous step \n API Hostname - Web is filled in for you \n API Key - from previous step \n \n \n In the JS Injection Configuration section, the BIG-IP Handles JS Injectionsfield is checked by default, if you uncheck the field then follow the Note \n given in the Web UI. \n Protected Endpoint(s) - Web - Supply either the URI or IP of the Host Application along with the path and method you are protecting on the protected endpoint. \n In the following image, I have selected Advanced to show more detail of what is available. Again Mandatory fields have a blue indicator. Here the Protection Pool and SSL Profile. \n Click Finished when complete. \n One final step to complete the setup. \n Go to the Main tab, Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > Virtual Serves List \n Select the Virtual Server you are going to apply the Bot Defense profile to. Click on Distributed Cloud Services on the top banner \n Under Service Settings > Bot Defense set to Enable and then select the Bot Defense Profile you created in the above steps. The click Update. \n You have now sucessfully integrated BIG-IP Distributed Cloud Service on version 17.1 with F5 Distributed Coud Bot Defense. \n One final visual is the dashboard for F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense. This is where you will observe and monitor what bots and actions have been taken against bots and your protected applications. \n \n F5 XC Bot Defense on BIG-IP 17.1 Demo: \n \n \n Conclusion: \n I hope you were able to benefit from this tutorial.
