A younger me, as a pentester and bug hunter, had exactly the bias described in this article 🤫

Luckily, I later worked with and for "the other side" and it changed my mind 🤯

I hope young people reading it will avoid taking years to understand the complexities of fixing bugs in a timely manner 🤞

A really comprehensive resource on CORS attacks. I'm going to rework my course slides based on this research, thank you for your contribution!
Excited to release my latest research. Exploiting CORS can be a tricky in modern web apps, but there are still critical cases out there if you know what to look for. If you want to learn more about CORS exploitation, the research is available at
Exploiting trust: Weaponizing permissive CORS configurations

Custom lists are super cool! I enjoy reading social posts, but want to make sure I never miss a quality writeup or technique. To achieve this, I'm building a 'high signal web security' list of topic-focused accounts, which you can pin next to 'Following' if you want :)

In case you're a professional Burp Suite user, there's a few seats left for the Q1 2025 training sessions

I'm using burp for like 15 years now, but @agarri.fr's training was absolutely mind blowing and really super charged my burp skills!

My second article on time-based secrets has just been published! 🚀

Following #bugbounty findings, I started focusing my research on time-based secrets. This research began for me a year ago, and enabled me to take the time to implement my open source tool: “Reset Tolkien”. 🚀

I've written an article detailing my research :
