💡 Prototype Pollution Attacks
Prototype pollution manipulates JavaScript object prototypes to inject properties that affect all objects in an application. This can lead to denial of service, property injection, and in some cases remote code execution in Node.js applications.
💡 Deception Technology Beyond Honeypots
Modern deception technology deploys fake credentials, decoy files, and breadcrumbs throughout production environments. When attackers interact with these deceptions, high-fidelity alerts trigger with virtually zero false positives.
