Browser fingerprinting is a technique that creates a unique profile for each user's browser based on various factors like browser version, installed fonts, and plugins. By crafting requests that mimic a legitimate browser fingerprint, attackers can evade WAF rules that are designed to detect malicious behavior based on known patterns. The more unique the fingerprint, the harder it is for the WAF to distinguish between a legitimate user and an attacker.
