💡 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
SSRF attacks trick servers into making requests to internal resources that should not be publicly accessible. This can expose cloud metadata endpoints, internal APIs, and private network services, potentially leading to full infrastructure compromise.
💡 Dark Web Intelligence Gathering
Monitoring dark web forums and marketplaces provides advance warning of planned attacks, leaked credentials, and compromised data. This intelligence feeds into proactive defense measures before attacks reach their targets.
