ProxySQL: firewall
ProxySQL: firewall
This site is created as a demo to my Percona Live's Online presentation "Creating OpenSource SQL Firewall". We use ProxySQL whitelist firewall feature to protect MySQL from sql injections (aka "bobby drop tables").
Course of action:
Train:
collect all good SQL queries (digest)
create whitelist
Test: set mode to DETECTING and check error log
Protect: disallow everything except for “whitelist”
(set mode to PROTECTING)

Admin> update mysql_firewall_whitelist_users set mode = 'PROTECTING' where username = 'root';
Admin> LOAD MYSQL FIREWALL TO RUNTIME;
Now we should expect errors on all unknown queries:

I have created a simple POC web interface to simplify working with ProxySQL firewall. Switching from OFF to DETECTING to PROTECTING and will load collected query digests to firewall rules.
