  2. Header Fuzzing: Header fuzzing involves sending unexpected data to a web application's headers. For example, you might send a malformed HTTP header to a web application.
  3. Cookie Fuzzing: Cookie fuzzing involves sending unexpected data to a web application's cookies. For example, you might send a malformed cookie value to a web application.
