Proxy injection

Proxy injection is a technique used in computing, particularly in software development. It involves inserting a proxy, or intermediary, into a system to manage requests and responses. This allows the proxy to modify, monitor, or redirect data without altering the original source. It’s often used for purposes like enhancing security, improving performance, or adding features without changing the underlying software. For example, a proxy could filter harmful content before it reaches a user or enable a developer to test how software behaves under different conditions seamlessly.
