Explanation

AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is the correct service for this requirement because:

AWS WAF is specifically designed to protect web applications from common web exploits by allowing you to create custom rules to filter and control incoming web traffic
It can be deployed on Amazon CloudFront, Application Load Balancer (ALB), or API Gateway to protect web applications running on EC2 instances
Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior, but it doesn't provide custom filtering capabilities
Amazon Macie is a data security service that uses machine learning to discover and protect sensitive data, not for web traffic filtering
AWS Shield is a managed DDoS protection service that provides automatic protection against DDoS attacks, but doesn't offer custom rule-based filtering

AWS WAF allows you to create custom rules to block specific IP addresses, SQL injection patterns, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and other web exploits, making it ideal for implementing custom conditions to filter inbound web traffic.
