    1/10 - I've been doing offensive security source code review for a long time now, and along the way I've learnt a lot of lessons that can make you more effective. Some of them include:

    Good wordlists are so important when discovering content on an asset. At @assetnote, we've built a wordlists site that updates itself on a monthly basis. For added value, we've included some of our best wordlists that we've manually collected too.

    You can bypass Akamai WAF's XXE filters by HTML encoding the SYSTEM entity within a payload like this: <!DOCTYPE foo [<!ENTITY % a "&#x3c;&#x21; ... omitted ... neat trick! used this today.

    I've just added an API routes wordlist containing 953011 possible API paths from the HTTPArchive dataset. Download it at wordlists.assetnote.io - all paths which start with "/api/", "/v1/", "/v2", or "/rest/". Good luck hacking! Thanks for requesting this, hope it helps.

    I just published a blog post for the people that want to get into bug bounties. I hope it helps people that are thinking about doing bug bounties, but haven't started yet. It explains what to expect and how to deal with common problems / situations:

    Why I love hacking IIS servers: - Case insensitive, amazing for content discovery - IIS Shortname - VIEWSTATE deserialization RCE gadget - Web.config upload tricks - Debug mode w/ detailed stack traces and full path - Debugging scripts often deployed (ELMAH, Trace) - Telerik RCE

    IP whitelisting is fundamentally broken. At @assetnote, we've successfully bypassed network controls by routing traffic through a specific location (cloud provider, geo-location). Today, we're releasing Newtowner, to help test for this issue:

    I will be releasing a number of videos that go through my bug bounty reports in a redacted manner. I believe in transparency, and the videos are going to shine an honest light into what I have reported. It’s mostly aimed at beginners, but the reports get complex over time.

    The security research team at @assetnote discovered a pre-authentication RCE vulnerability through a cryptographic flaw in Citrix ShareFile. It's been assigned CVE-2023-24489. You can read the technical blog post here: blog.assetnote.io/2023/07/04/cit…

    Our security researcher @hash_kitten found one of the most critical exploit chains in the history of @assetnote. Affecting 40k+ instances of ServiceNow, we could execute arbitrary code, access all data without authentication. You can read our blog here: assetnote.io/resources/rese…

    Damn. This is really cool. Achieving RCE via LFI using Nginx as a way to upload a temporary file, even when PHP is hardened so other techniques will fail - bierbaumer.net/security/php-l…
