Summary
In this chapter, we've learnt about the same-origin policy, CORS and different types of encoding mechanism that are prevalent on the Web. The things discussed here will be required in later chapters as per the requirement. You can fiddle around with other encoding techniques such as Base32, ROT13, and so on for your own understanding.
You can read about ROT13 at: http://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/index.php?page=caesarCipher.
In the next chapter, we will learn different reconnaissance techniques, which will enable us to learn more about our target so that we can increase our attack surface.
