# Web Cache Deception Attack
|
|
|
|
## Exploit
|
|
```
|
|
1.Browser requests http://www.example.com/home.php/non-existent.css.
|
|
2.Server returns the content of http://www.example.com/home.php, most probably with HTTP caching headers that instruct to not cache this page.
|
|
3.The response goes through the proxy.
|
|
4.The proxy identifies that the file has a css extension.
|
|
5.Under the cache directory, the proxy creates a directory named home.php, and caches the imposter "CSS" file (non-existent.css) inside.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
