HTTP Request Smuggling is not just a WAF bypass trick.Most people miss the real issue:The vulnerability comes from differences in how HTTP requests are parsed between:* reverse proxy (frontend)* backend serverCL.TE / TE.CL are only the basic cases. The deeper issues are more subtle:* HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1 translation ambiguity* parsing inconsistencies across proxy chains* cache poisoning via request desynchronization* session hijacking without traditional auth or RCE bugsCore idea:One request can be interpreted as two different requests depending on which layer processes it.The exploit happens in that mismatch.It is not an application bug in the usual sense.It is a systemic parsing disagreement across the HTTP stack.#infosec #pentesting #websecurity #bugbounty

The sentencing of Nicholas Moore (one-year probation) serves as a case study in credential-based breaches. By compromising one set of credentials, Moore gained access to the U.S. Supreme Court, AmeriCorps, and the VA."This highlights the persistent danger of "low-effort" entry points into high-value targets.How are your organizations hardening against credential stuffing and lateral movement in the public sector?Source: https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/17/man-who-hacked-us-supreme-court-filing-system-sentenced-to-probation/ Engage with us in the thread.

Weak JWT secrets are still happening in production in 2024.If your target uses JWT, try:1. Decode at jwt.io — check algo & claims2. Change algo to "none" → send without signature3. Brute force the secret using hashcat:hashcat -a 0 -m 16500 <jwt> /wordlistTool: jwt_tool by ticarpi — supports many JWT attack vectors at once.You'll be surprised how many still use the secret "password" or "secret123".#jwt #webappsec #pentesting
