Why it matters in practice
Within Web Application Security, Introduction changes how scope, prerequisites and evidence should be handled. Focus on the concrete asset or data flow under test, record the assumptions that make the condition exploitable and connect verified behavior to an operational consequence and remediation decision.
This note keeps Introduction tied to offensive workflow: what to observe, what to prove, what usually goes wrong, and which references remain useful once an assessment moves from planning into active validation.
