Top 10 web hacking techniques of 2024: nominations open
Summary: PortSwigger Research has opened nominations for the annual community vote on the top 10 new web hacking techniques of 2024, a project running since 2006. Submissions require only a URL to the research plus an optional comment on what is novel, and the organizer filters out nominations that are non-web focused, just tools, or not clearly innovative.
What you should know: The list rewards reusable techniques over single vulnerabilities - the post notes log4shell ages poorly while JNDI Injection can be reapplied - so what gets nominated shapes which attack methods defenders should expect to see adapted against their systems.
