It's amusing to me the amount of apps that implement pretty decent anti-SSRF measures:
- Private IP addresses✅
- Normalization of diff. IPv4/IPv6 representations✅
- TOCTOU DNS rebinding✅
- HTTP Redirects✅

But still this little😈 slips through the cracks:
- 0.0.0.0❌

Hacking is just a weird thing that many discover because it's just something that we inherent (at birth?) and then develop over the years.

It just feels right to be around computers and entangled stuff that most of the time, u cannot wrap your head around it, but guess what? That's the beauty of it

Sometimes all it takes is one weird byte.

REcollapse aims to find it!

Just give it a URL and it will generate a fuzzing list for all regex pivot positions with all possible bytes %00 to %ff!

This is the bad thing about sharing testing environments. This guy has been hammering an HTMLi on a invitation email request for three days now, which I'm 99.9% sure has been reported before **several times**.

I feel sorry for triagers seeing this type of... Thing on bug bounty reports

Antimatter is cool and it's a real thing. I used to work on an experiment where we collided protons with antiprotons to make top-antitop quark pairs (among other things). ⚛️

I hate providing reproduction steps with (a) missed step(s). I guess writing reports late at night can take a toll on us sometimes. It can happen but it sucks, especially for the triager assessing the ticket

It's all about that tiny request, that picky little one that gets lost in a sea of junk from your history tab, the one which gives you the keys to the juicy treasure.

Arp 321.
a compact group of five galaxies located in the constellation Hydra. It's a fascinating object for astronomers because these galaxies are in close proximity and interacting with each other.

Even physical games are bricked without PSN access if you need to pair a disc drive. This is why real physical media and disc drive access is vital.

Welcome to the future - nobody owns anything, and all art and entertainment is disposable, temporary, and lost forever.

I guess this is well known by experienced WebApp pentesters/bug hunters/Burp Suite power-users, so this is targeting beginner users.

While loading the Burp Suite extension Autorize, it has by default this box checked:

We've updated our URL validation bypass cheat sheet with this shiny Domain allow list bypass payload contributed by dyak0xdb!

By testing for SSRF be on the lookout of any Axios http clients, these instances follow redirects by default which devs sometimes don't know it.

Therefore, there is a high chance defenses could be bypassed by entering the evil host after the redirection.

Don't forget 301,308 redir codes ;)
