💡 SQL Injection Campaigns
SQL injection remains one of the most common web attack vectors. Attackers inject malicious SQL code through input fields to extract database contents, modify data, or gain administrative access. Automated scanners test for SQLi vulnerabilities at massive scale.
💡 DNS Sinkholing for Malware Defense
DNS sinkholing redirects queries for known malicious domains to controlled IP addresses. This technique blocks malware communication, prevents data exfiltration, and identifies compromised internal hosts attempting to contact command-and-control servers.
