Top 10 web hacking techniques of 2020 - nominations open
Summary: PortSwigger Research opened nominations for its annual top 10 new web hacking techniques of 2020, with the list published on 24 February 2021. The process asks the community to submit novel techniques, ideas or concepts that can be reapplied elsewhere, and the organizer enforces a minimum quality bar to exclude posts that merely apply an already-documented technique.
Key Takeaway: The nomination list is itself a curated record of the year's new attack concepts, and the stated filter - novel and reusable, not just a fresh application of a known technique - is what separates it from a general reading list. For a security leader, that distinction is the difference between tracking genuinely new attacker capability and re-reading the OWASP Top Ten.
