Reflected XSS is one of the most widespread attack technique used by attackers. In this type of attack, the user sends a malicious request by clicking on malicious links (contains an XSS payload) to web server available on social networking sites and other platforms. As a result, web server replied back to the user with HTTP response which contains the payload which in turns executed in the browser and steal cookies of the user.
