Overview
Developed a sophisticated XSS hunter platform that deploys from a single bash script to a fully functional SSL-encrypted dashboard. The platform enables security researchers and pentesters to detect stored XSS vulnerabilities in real-time with comprehensive payload management and capture analysis.
Key Features & Findings
- ▸One-command deployment: chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh deploys entire infrastructure
- ▸Automatic SSL certificate generation and renewal via Let's Encrypt
- ▸Real-time WebSocket notifications for captured XSS triggers
- ▸Custom payload generator with multiple encoding options (Base64, URL, HTML entities)
- ▸Dashboard shows live captures with full DOM snapshots and cookie data
- ▸Automatic email/Slack alerts on successful XSS capture
- ▸Payload tracking with unique identifiers for attribution
- ▸WAF bypass techniques built into payloads
- ▸Docker containerization for easy deployment and scaling
- ▸API endpoints for programmatic payload generation and retrieval
Technical Architecture
- ▸Reverse proxy with Nginx for load balancing
- ▸MongoDB for persistent storage of captures
- ▸Redis for session management and caching
- ▸Automated backup system for capture data
- ▸Rate limiting to prevent abuse
Payload Features
- ▸Polyglot payloads for multiple contexts
- ▸DOM-based XSS detection capabilities
- ▸Blind XSS with external callbacks
- ▸CSP bypass techniques included
- ▸Automatic screenshot capture on trigger
Business Impact
- ✓Zero to production deployment in under 60 seconds
- ✓Discovered XSS vulnerabilities in 15+ production applications
- ✓Contributed to 8 responsible disclosures
- ✓Used by 100+ security researchers globally
