[ COMPARE ]
How Nemesis compares.
Straight comparisons, no games. We tell you where each competitor is the right pick and where a per-tenant, positive-security model does what a global ruleset cannot. Pick a comparison below.
[ INTERACTIVE FIELD GUIDE ]
Can your WAF stop this? Run the attacks yourself.
Twelve attacks a signature WAF and your own code both miss, from a direct PostgREST table dump and a Next.js middleware auth bypass to IDOR, business-logic abuse and same-day zero-days. Each ships with a curl you can run against an app you own. Watch every one get waved through, then caught as a deviation by positive security.
