2016/03/29 - AWS WAF - 5 new 3 updated api methods
Permanently deletes an XssMatchSet. You can't delete an XssMatchSet if it's still used in any Rules or if it still contains any XssMatchTuple objects.
If you just want to remove an XssMatchSet from a Rule , use UpdateRule.
To permanently delete an XssMatchSet from AWS WAF, perform the following steps:
Update the XssMatchSet to remove filters, if any. For more information, see UpdateXssMatchSet.
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteXssMatchSet request.
Submit a DeleteXssMatchSet request.

Specifies the parts of web requests that you want to inspect for cross-site scripting attacks.
(dict) --
Specifies the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect for cross-site scripting attacks and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header, the name of the header.
FieldToMatch (dict) --
Specifies where in a web request to look for TargetString .
Type (string) --
The part of the web request that you want AWS WAF to search for a specified string. Parts of a request that you can search include the following:
HEADER : A specified request header, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header. If you choose HEADER for the type, specify the name of the header in Data .
METHOD : The HTTP method, which indicated the type of operation that the request is asking the origin to perform. Amazon CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE , GET , HEAD , OPTIONS , PATCH , POST , and PUT .
QUERY_STRING : A query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character, if any.
URI : The part of a web request that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg .
BODY : The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.
Data (string) --
When the value of Type is HEADER , enter the name of the header that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, User-Agent or Referer . If the value of Type is any other value, omit Data .
The name of the header is not case sensitive.
TextTransformation (string) --
Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting a request for a match.
CMD_LINE
When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system commandline command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:
Delete the following characters: " ' ^
Delete spaces before the following characters: / (
Replace the following characters with a space: , ;
Replace multiple spaces with one space
Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)
COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE
Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):
f, formfeed, decimal 12
t, tab, decimal 9
n, newline, decimal 10
r, carriage return, decimal 13
v, vertical tab, decimal 11
non-breaking space, decimal 160
COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.
HTML_ENTITY_DECODE
Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:
Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "
Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160
Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol
Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >
Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh; , with the corresponding characters
Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn; , with the corresponding characters
LOWERCASE
Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).
URL_DECODE
Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.
NONE
Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.
Inserts or deletes XssMatchTuple objects (filters) in an XssMatchSet. For each XssMatchTuple object, you specify the following values:
Action : Whether to insert the object into or delete the object from the array. To change a XssMatchTuple , you delete the existing object and add a new one.
FieldToMatch : The part of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header, the name of the header.
TextTransformation : Which text transformation, if any, to perform on the web request before inspecting the request for cross-site scripting attacks.
You use XssMatchSet objects to specify which CloudFront requests you want to allow, block, or count. For example, if you're receiving requests that contain cross-site scripting attacks in the request body and you want to block the requests, you can create an XssMatchSet with the applicable settings, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.
To create and configure an XssMatchSet , perform the following steps:
Submit a CreateXssMatchSet request.
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.
Submit an UpdateXssMatchSet request to specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect for cross-site scripting attacks.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

{'Updates': {'Predicate': {'Type': {'XssMatch'}}}}
Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a Rule . Each Predicate object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet or an IPSet, that specifies the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule , a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed, blocked, or counted. For example, suppose you add the following to a Rule :
A ByteMatchSet that matches the value BadBot in the User-Agent header
An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44
You then add the Rule to a WebACL and specify that you want to block requests that satisfy the Rule . For a request to be blocked, the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot and the request must originate from the IP address 192.0.2.44.
To create and configure a Rule , perform the following steps:
Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule .
Create the Rule . See CreateRule.
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request.
Submit an UpdateRule request to add predicates to the Rule .
Create and update a WebACL that contains the Rule . See CreateWebACL.
If you want to replace one ByteMatchSet or IPSet with another, you delete the existing one and add the new one.
