API Penetration Testingπ Part 2
Reverse engineering APIs with Postman and mitmproxy2swagger, finding excessive data exposure, and scanning for weaknesses. Part two of API testing.
Write-ups on web application security: how each bug was found, what was tried before it worked, and what the fix turned out to be.

Reverse engineering APIs with Postman and mitmproxy2swagger, finding excessive data exposure, and scanning for weaknesses. Part two of API testing.

Building an API penetration testing environment: Kali Linux, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, FoxyProxy and labs built for finding hidden API endpoints.

How to use ffuf to fuzz everything: hidden directories, file extensions, API endpoints, parameters and backup files that normal recon never surfaces.

VPNs, DPNs and Tor solve different privacy problems. How each one actually works, where the trade-offs are, and which to use for which threat model.

Why low-hanging fruit is the right place to start in bug bounty, the common easy wins to look for, and how small findings build toward bigger ones.

Two hands-on code injection labs: injecting OS commands in a PortSwigger lab, then escalating to a PHP reverse shell in bWAPP automated with Commix.

Run large language models on your own hardware: WSL and Ubuntu, Ollama setup, adding models, and monitoring GPU performance on a fully private server.

Get started finding zero-days in binary software and web applications, from setting up VMware to fuzzing real targets with AFL.

Automate cross-site request forgery testing with Burp Suite and Project Forgery, a Python tool for generating and validating CSRF proof-of-concepts at scale.
