💡 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.
💡 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.
