 ## Methodology
 
+NoSQL injection occurs when an attacker manipulates queries by injecting malicious input into a NoSQL database query. Unlike SQL injection, NoSQL injection often exploits JSON-based queries and operators like `$ne`, `$gt`, `$regex`, or `$where` in MongoDB.
+
+### Operator Injection
+
+| Operator | Description        |
+| -------- | ------------------ |
+| $ne      | not equal          |
+| $regex   | regular expression |
+| $gt      | greater than       |
+| $lt      | lower than         |
+| $nin     | not in             |
+
+Example: A web application has a product search feature
+
+```js
+db.products.find({ "price": userInput })
+```
+
+An attacker can inject a NoSQL query: `{ "$gt": 0 }`.
+
+```js
+db.products.find({ "price": { "$gt": 0 } })
+```
+
+Instead of returning a specific product, the database returns all products with a price greater than zero, leaking data.
+

+### WAF and Filters
+
+**Remove pre-condition**:
+
+In MongoDB, if a document contains duplicate keys, only the last occurrence of the key will take precedence.
+
+```js
+{"id":"10", "id":"100"} 
+```
+
+In this case, the final value of "id" will be "100".
