The pattern you're referring to, "-page-....-2F-2F....-2F-2F....-2F-2Fetc-2Fpasswd" , describes a (or Path Traversal) attack, often used in conjunction with Local File Inclusion (LFI) .
-page- : This seems to be a innocuous parameter or a page identifier..... : The dots represent arbitrary characters, possibly used to obfuscate the URL.-2F- : The -2F- sequence is a URL-encoded representation of the forward slash (/) character. This is a common technique used to bypass security filters or Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)..... : Again, the dots represent arbitrary characters.etc-2Fpasswd : This is a critical component of the URL. etc and passwd are directory and file names commonly found on Unix-like systems. The /etc/passwd file, in particular, contains sensitive information about system users.It looks like you’re trying to draft a blog post that includes a path traversal pattern ( ../../../../etc/passwd ), which is commonly associated with directory traversal attacks or security testing. -page-....-2F-2F....-2F-2F....-2F-2Fetc-2Fpasswd
At first glance, this looks like a or a log entry showing an attack pattern. The -2F is URL encoding for the forward slash / . When decoded, the pattern becomes: -page- : This seems to be a innocuous
