This attack targets the encoding of the Slash characters. An attacker
						would try to exploit common filtering problems related to the use of the
						slashes characters to gain access to resources on the target host.
						Directory-driven systems, such as file systems and databases, typically use
						the slash character to indicate traversal between directories or other
						container components. For murky historical reasons, PCs (and, as a result,
						Microsoft OSs) choose to use a backslash, whereas the UNIX world typically
						makes use of the forward slash. The schizophrenic result is that many
						MS-based systems are required to understand both forms of the slash. This
						gives the attacker many opportunities to discover and abuse a number of
						common filtering problems. The goal of this pattern is to discover server
						software that only applies filters to one version, but not the other.
