Terms & Concepts

Cache bug: A software flaw in caching logic that can cause repeated processing or requests instead of reusing stored results, potentially increasing compute or API costs.
MITM proxy: A man-in-the-middle proxy that intercepts and inspects traffic between an application and a server for debugging or analysis.
Reverse engineering: The process of analyzing compiled software to understand how it works without access to the original source code.
