These redirections are often employed to deliver malware, steal credentials, engage in phishing, or generate fraudulent ad revenue.1. How Malicious Redirects WorkMalicious redirects exploit vulnerabilities in websites, browsers, or plugins to forcibly..

SQLmapSQLmap is an open-source penetration testing tool designed to automate the detection and exploitation of SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications. It is a powerful tool for both attackers and security professionals, capable of identifying vulnerabilities, retrieving data, and even executing commands on compromised databases.1. Features of SQLmapAutomated SQL Injection DetectionIde..

Web Vulnerability ScannersWeb vulnerability scanners are automated tools designed to identify security vulnerabilities in web applications, APIs, and web servers. They help security teams uncover flaws like SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, misconfigurations, and more, providing a baseline for improving application security.1. Common Features of Web Vulnerability ScannersAutomated ScanningCrawl web appl..

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to manipulate a server to send unauthorized requests to other internal or external resources. The attacker can exploit this to access internal systems, sensitive data, or services not directly exposed to the internet.1. How SSRF WorksIn an SSRF attack, the attacker tricks ..

Remote File Inclusion (RFI)Remote File Inclusion (RFI) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to include and execute a remote file on a web server by manipulating user input. Although RFI was historically a significant threat, it is less common today due to better secure coding practices and restrictions in modern web environments.1. How Remote File Inclusion WorksRFI occurs whe..

Local File Inclusion (LFI)Local File Inclusion (LFI) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to include files from the server’s local file system into a web application’s output. This often happens when user input is not properly validated, enabling attackers to read sensitive files, execute code, or escalate privileges.1. How Local File Inclusion WorksLFI occurs when a web appli..

Browser Extension TakeoversBrowser extension takeovers occur when malicious actors exploit vulnerabilities or manipulate browser extensions to gain unauthorized access, install malicious scripts, or hijack browser behavior. These attacks can result in cryptocurrency mining, credential theft, and adware injection, impacting user security and privacy.1. How Browser Extension Takeovers HappenMalici..

User AgentA User Agent is a string sent in HTTP requests by clients (e.g., browsers, bots, or scripts) to identify themselves to servers. The User Agent string includes details about the client’s software, operating system, and sometimes the version number.Attackers often spoof User Agents to disguise their activities, making it critical to analyze User Agents to determine if requests are coming..

BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework)BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework) is a penetration testing tool that focuses on browser vulnerabilities and client-side exploitation. It is often used to assess the security posture of web browsers and applications. A BeEF hook enables an attacker to control and manipulate a hooked browser remotely after the victim visits a malicious or compromised web pa..

API (Application Programming Interfaces) SecurityAPIs (Application Programming Interfaces) allow communication between clients (like web or mobile applications) and servers. While APIs streamline data exchange and functionality, they can expose vulnerabilities if not properly secured. Understanding what information APIs return and what can be sent is critical for ensuring their security.1. Key A..
