💡 Command Injection Techniques
Command injection occurs when attackers insert operating system commands through application inputs. Successful exploitation grants direct server access, enabling data theft, malware installation, and lateral movement across networks.
💡 Web Cache Poisoning Attacks
Cache poisoning manipulates web cache behavior to serve malicious content to other users. By identifying unkeyed inputs that influence cached responses, attackers can inject JavaScript, redirect users, or cause denial of service at scale through the cache infrastructure.
