💡 HTTP Header Analysis for Threat Detection
Examining HTTP headers beyond User-Agent reveals attack tools and automated scripts. Missing standard headers, unusual ordering, non-standard values, and inconsistencies with claimed client identity all serve as reliable detection signals.
💡 Zero-Day Vulnerability Markets
Zero-day vulnerabilities command premium prices in both legitimate and criminal markets. Government agencies, defensive security firms, and criminal organizations compete for these undisclosed flaws, creating a complex ecosystem around vulnerability discovery and disclosure.
