What is SafeLine WAF and does it really block SQL injection?

SafeLine's a Docker-based web app firewall. Deploys fast, blocks SQLi, XSS, floods via rules and inspection. Mishra's lab: Yes, real-time kills.

How do I set up DVWA for web security lab testing?

Ubuntu VM, LAMP, git clone DVWA, fix MariaDB perms, setup.php. Security low. Attack away.

Does building a WAF lab help land a SOC analyst job?

Hell yes. Proves hands-on: logs, configs, attacks. Interview gold. Beats cert dumps.
