Types of Payloads

  • Runtime-generated – Numbers, dates, patterns
  • Custom payloads – From files or scripts
  • Brute-force payloads – All combinations

Why Payloads Matter

Payloads help you:

  • Test for weak passwords
  • Find SQL injection / XSS
  • Fuzz parameters
  • Discover hidden behavior
