Creating DOM signatures
Use DOM Signatures to create a blacklist of
suspicious character strings (can be alphanumeric, non-alphanumeric, or a combination of
both) that the BIG-IP system will search for in specific locations in your web page, or
(if you choose) the entire web page. If the BIG-IP system detects a blacklisted string
in the location you specify, an alert is sent to the FPS dashboard.
