This instructs ASP.NET to encrypt the ViewState value using the Advanced Encryption Standard. :~# Patch and Fix this Vulnerability : For patching this vulnerability on Server, you must first open web.config file and add this line under the <system.web> element : <machineKey validation="AES"/> :~# Exploited by 4TT4CK3R </BODY></HTML>
