For the latest version of AWS WAF , use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

The RegexPatternSet specifies the regular expression (regex) pattern that you want AWS WAF to search for, such as B[a@]dB[o0]t. You can then configure AWS WAF to reject those requests.
