        This plugin sends custom requests to the remote web server in order to
        verify if the remote network is protected by an IPS or WAF.

        afd plugin detects both TCP-Connection-reset and HTTP level filters, the
        first one (usually implemented by IPS devices) is easy to verify: if afd
        requests a specially crafted URL and the connection is closed, then
        its being probably blocked by an active filter.
        
        The second protection type, usually implemented by Web Application
        Firewalls like mod_security, is a little harder to identify: first afd 
        requests a page without adding any payloads, afterwards it requests the
        same URL but with a fake parameter and customized values; if the response
        bodies differ, then its safe to say that the remote end has an active
        filter.
