XSS Filter Evasion: How Attackers Bypass XSS Filters – And Why Filtering Alone Isn’t Enough

[ad_1] XSS filter evasion techniques allow attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protections designed to block malicious scripts. This article explores some of the most common filter bypass strategies, explains why relying solely on filtering is ineffective, and outlines the best practices for preventing XSS attacks. Attackers have developed hundreds of methods to evade XSS filters, making it clear that filtering alone is not a foolproof defense. For an XSS attack to succeed, two conditions must be met: The application must have an XSS vulnerability that allows user-controlled input to be injected into web pages. The attacker must find a way to execute malicious JavaScript within the victim’s browser. XSS filtering aims to stop these attacks by detecting and removing suspicious code before it reaches the browser. However, because attackers continuously develop new techniques to disguise or encode their payloads, […]

Supreme Court greenlights Trump’s $600 million cut to teacher training grants

[ad_1] A decisive moment for American public education unfolded this week as the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for President Donald Trump to slash $600 million in teacher training grants—funds that have long supported efforts to address chronic teacher shortages and build a more inclusive, diverse educational workforce. In a narrow 5–4 decision, the Court sided with Trump’s administration, temporarily halting a lower court’s order to reinstate the grants in eight Democratic-led states. The ruling sends a chilling signal across the nation’s education system: Long-standing federal commitments to equity and teacher development are now vulnerable to ideological shifts at the highest levels of government.This legal battle is far more than a procedural dispute—it represents a broader, strategic assault on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in schools and colleges. Under the banner of combating “divisive ideologies,” Trump’s Department of Education […]

Disabling Directory Listing on Your Web Server – And Why It Matters

[ad_1] By default, some web servers allow directory listing, which means that if no default index file (such as index.html or index.php) is present, the server will display a list of all files and directories in that folder. This can expose sensitive files, scripts, and configurations, making it easier for attackers to identify vulnerabilities. Understanding Directory Listing Directory listing is a web server feature that, when enabled, displays the contents of a directory if no default index file (such as index.html or index.php) is present. When a request is made to such a directory, the server automatically generates and returns a list of all files and subdirectories within it. This can pose a security risk by exposing sensitive files related to a web application, potentially revealing critical information. If attackers gain access to directory listings, they can analyze file structures, […]
