/brainstorm <problem or question>
/brainstorm superdrug.com - they're using Akamai WAF. How do we approach testing?
/brainstorm When testing signup flows, what are common bypasses where devs assume auth checks but don't verify them?
/brainstorm What could go wrong with a chatbot that has access to user data and uses AI?
When analyzing an application, think about:
Auth Assumptions:
Data Handling:
Business Logic:
testing
Systematic live request mutation: flip booleans, field ops, headers, content-type, parser differentials, replay vs intercept, null/empty testing. Inherits live-testing-policy scope/rate/ownership rules.
development
Test password reset, forgot-password, reset-token, email reset, and account recovery flows for account takeover risks.
tools
Targeted param/field discovery using tech stack clues, naming conventions, and controlled-rate ffuf — then feeds findings into request-exploration for mutation. Not brute-force; informed and scoped.
testing
Ghost-only workflow for creating approved bug bounty test accounts and saving credential references.
