Newsletter (24th - 28th June 2019)

Hello All,

Let me begin by thanking every individual for visiting, liking and giving me feedback for my previous blog post.

This week we will cover mainly resources related to information security.

1. Burp Suite: Scoping out your project

Burp suite is one of the swiss army knife tools for pentesters. Scoping is an essential part of auditing the application. I believe this would be really helpful to bug hunters and pentesters while performing a security assessment for the web application.

2. Understanding Burp Suite Intruder Attack Types

Most of us would have used Burp Suite for web application pen-testing. Burp suite intruder tab helps the attacker to fuzz the parameters used in the HTTP request. Fuzzing can be used to find multiple vulnerabilities in a web application like SQL injection, Cross site scripting, brute-force username, and password, etc.

3. Using Burp Suite Match and Replace Settings

A (10 min read) article was written in order to perform privilege escalation or find hidden features of the web application. Just by replacing parameter values  like "true", "false" ,"admin", "guest", "0", "1", etc. we may get some amazing results. A must read an article for bug hunters.

I hope you like the resources which I have shared and will be informative in some or other way.

Newsletter (17th - 23rd June 2019)

Welcome back, mates. It's wonderful to see you back on my blog.

Well starting from now, I would share my favorite resources with you all on a weekly basis. Hoping this would be beneficial to everyone irrespective of their profession.

Starting with the list, I feel everyone in their life go through some sort of stress, anxiety, and depression. So on that note, I would like to present my first resource related to these topics.

1. Understanding Stress, Anxiety And Depression And How to Cope - Olga Zilberberg

This is very helpful for us as we all spend most of our day sitting in front of the computer, forgetting to eat, sleep and exercise properly. Amazing talk and must be recommended to everyone.

2. Unusual kind of IDOR. An interesting read for hackers and bug hunters !!!

How spending our Saturday hacking earned us 20k by @MattiBijnens

I read this writeup and was amazed to see how the bug hunters find their way out exploiting the functionality. Indeed a great example to say "Nothing in this world is secure"

I hope you like the resources which I have shared and will be informative in some or other way.
