💡 Remote Code Execution (RCE)
RCE vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on target servers. These critical flaws often arise from deserialization bugs, template injection, or file upload vulnerabilities, and represent the highest severity class of web application weaknesses.
💡 DNS Sinkholing for Malware Defense
DNS sinkholing redirects queries for known malicious domains to controlled IP addresses. This technique blocks malware communication, prevents data exfiltration, and identifies compromised internal hosts attempting to contact command-and-control servers.
