About this class
What you'll learn
Web cache deception (WCD) causes a cache to store a dynamic, user-specific response and serve it to other people. This class covers how caches decide what to store, the path-confusion techniques (delimiters, normalisation, extension mapping), a step-by-step exploit, how WCD differs from cache poisoning, and prevention.
Practice
Pair with exploiting path delimiters to cache a profile page.
