Web exploitation takes confirmed vulnerabilities and turns them into impact. This covers the full range of web attacks: SQL injection (union, blind, error-based, time-based), cross-site scripting, server-side request forgery, server-side template injection, XXE, command injection, local and remote file inclusion, insecure deserialization, authentication bypass, and file upload abuse.

Each technique has its own tooling and methodology. sqlmap handles automated SQL injection, but manual union queries give you precision. SSTI payloads vary by template engine (Jinja2, Twig, Freemarker). XXE exploitation depends on parser behavior and whether out-of-band channels are available. File upload attacks chain with path traversal or webshell execution depending on server configuration.

The subpages walk through each vulnerability class from identification to achieving a shell, data access, or further pivot point into the target environment.
