Security Intelligence
💡 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.
💡 Residential Proxy Networks
Residential proxies route traffic through real home internet connections, making malicious traffic appear to come from legitimate users. Some networks install proxy software bundled with free applications, unknowingly conscripting millions of devices.
