The Hacker is Having a Conversation with Your API. 💬🗣️🔒

There are two kinds of attacks you MUST understand:

Stateless (Brute Force): One-and-done, instant gratification. 💥 Think SQL Injection.

Stateful (Sophisticated): A persistent conversation over time. ⏳ This is the signature of Business Logic Abuse. 🎯

Why does this matter? Stateful attacks are executed by sophisticated threat actors 🕵️ who have done their due diligence on your architecture. You must evolve your defenses to monitor the entire session, not just single requests! 🚀
