and as I understood that strong server side validation is tough enemy for hackers, so which tools of encoding - obfuscation do they use to break server side validation? Surprisingly Google gives little information about it
Obfuscation is not security
Nobody will willingly give you that information
Correct me if I am wrong but I used to think that obfuscation (methods or tools) are used for making the validation system confused so hackers can do request/response manipulation, no?
No. Obfuscation is a way to hide something, but it is not encryption. ROT13 is an example of obfuscation. PGP keypair is encryption
Mate, then can you explain that how do hackers deal with server side validation ?(besides social engineering)
Look for buffer overflows, look for SQL injection sites, look for timing attacks
Ok thx for the advice. Yes these are common attacks
You can also look for what parser they use to see if you can get it to do more creative things (lookup "the treachery of files" conference and the mag "POC || GTFO")
