# IPDS | WAF | Files | Create

This section is used to create files for internal use within the WAF module. These files play a crucial role in the analysis of request and response flows handled by the WAF. Once created, these files can be associated with specific rules in the WAF module under **IPDS > WAF > Ruleset**. The content of each file is verified to ensure it adheres to the correct format.

**Name**. Provide a descriptive name for the new file.
  **Type**. Choose the type of file:

- **LUA script**. Allows customization of allowed ciphers.
- **Data file**. Used for additional files like blacklists or file extension lists, enhancing the WAF rules with specific information.

**File content**. Enter the content of the file in the selected format. During creation, the system internally validates whether the content matches the file type chosen for integration into the WAF rule.
