  • Origin Domains
    • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are used to deliver website content/traffic more efficiently and reduce server load.
    • CDNs are not proxies for the real webserver--the real webserver is the origin.
    • Oftentimes, CDNs will block security testing payloads. Find the origin server and bypass the filtering/CDN.
    • Examples (for Akamai):
      • origin-sub.domain.com
      • origin.sub.domain.com
      • Try sending Pragma: akamai-x-get-true-cache-key - key often has origin in it
  • Things to look for:
    • Logins
    • Defaultcontent
    • Bypass domains (dev, qa, ww1,ww2,)
    • 302s
    • Basic Auth
    • Old looking frameworks
    • Outdated Priv Pol / Trademark
  • Favicon analysis
    • Useful when you have a ton of webservers to analyze - fingerprint by the favicon
    • FavFreak
  • Reporting guidelines:
    • Detailed enough to reproduce
    • Record your proof in case the issue gets fixed before your submission is triaged
    • Some orgs are more mature than others, it may take time ask your triager
    • Autogenerated / autosubmitted reports are obvious especially if they lack any good information
    • Prove impact. Take it further if you can. Example: An XSS with a simple “alert(1)” could get you $50-100, but can you prove its more impactful? We love to see it!
