What is Cross-site scripting (XSS) commonly used for in malicious activities?

  1. Encrypting website files

  2. Redirecting users to secure sites

  3. Injecting client-side scripts into webpages

  4. Generating secure password hashes

The correct answer is: Injecting client-side scripts into webpages

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is commonly used for injecting client-side scripts into webpages in malicious activities. This allows attackers to execute scripts in the context of a victim's browser, potentially stealing information, defacing websites, or redirecting users to malicious sites. Encrypting website files, redirecting users to secure sites, and generating secure password hashes are not typical uses of XSS in malicious activities.
