Hey Hackers 👾 Most people think they’re testing for bugs. But what they’re really doing… is just checking for errors. Let’s fix that. 👇
A 403 Isn’t the End — It’s the Beginning 🔐
See a 403 or 401 and move on? Congrats, you just skipped the most interesting door in the house.
Try this instead: – Remove the token completely – Send a different user’s token – Spoof X-Forwarded-For or Origin headers – Mess with role=admin in body or cookies
Don’t trust what the app says. Test what it assumes.
Test the “Impossible” Stuff 😈
You know the requests that shouldn’t work? Those are exactly the ones worth trying.
Things like:
– Modifying user IDs in query params – Flipping booleans like isPaidUser=true – Using internal API routes from the frontend – Uploading weird file types (SVG, .php.jpg, etc.)
