🛡️ XSS PREVENTION EXAMPLES

Common XSS attack vectors and prevention:

⚠️ DANGEROUS INPUT:

→ This executes JavaScript if not encoded

✅ SAFELY ENCODED:

                                    <script>alert('Hacked!');</script>
                                

→ This displays as text, safe from execution

Common questions and solutions

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What's the difference between HTML encoding and URL encoding?

A: HTML encoding converts characters to entities (< becomes <). URL encoding converts characters to percent codes (space becomes %20). Use HTML for web content, URL for URLs.

Q: Should I encode before or after database storage?

A: Store raw data in database, encode when displaying. This preserves original data and allows different encoding for different contexts (HTML, JSON, CSV).

Q: Does HTML encoding protect against all XSS attacks?

A: HTML encoding protects against most XSS, but use additional measures: Content Security Policy (CSP), input validation, and framework-specific security features.
