A web timing attack is a type of cyber attack where an attacker measures the time it takes for a server to respond to various inputs, allowing them to determine sensitive information such as -- Whether a user exists in a database -- The structure and contents of a database -- The existence of specific files or directories -- By analyzing these response times, attackers can gather valuable insights that can be used to launch more targeted attacks or exploit vulnerabilities.
