💡 HTTP Request Smuggling
Request smuggling exploits differences in how front-end and back-end servers parse HTTP requests. This technique can bypass security controls, poison web caches, and hijack other users sessions by desynchronizing request boundaries.
💡 Critical Infrastructure Targeting
Attacks on power grids, water systems, and transportation networks have moved from theoretical to practical threats. Industrial control systems often lack modern security features, making them vulnerable to both targeted and opportunistic attacks.
