## Full Methodology

# Fast Testing Checklist

A combination of my own methodology and the Web Application Hacker's Handbook Task checklist, as a Github-Flavored Markdown file

- use [lostsec](https://lostsec.xyz/)
- maintain a personal payloads repo synced with BLNS/SecLists; keep a tiny “golden” set for smoke tests

## Reconnaissance and Analysis

- [ ] Map visible content (Manually)
  - [ ] Perform Functionality Mapping by browsing the application thoroughly.
  - [ ] Check API Documentation (Public, Swagger/OpenAPI).
- [ ] Discover hidden & default content (Directory/File Bruteforce)
- [ ] Test for debug parameters
- [ ] Identify data entry points (Discover Dynamic Content in Burp Pro)
- [ ] Identify the technologies used (Wappalyzer or similiar)
- [ ] Research existing vulnerabilities in technology (Google ++)
- [ ] Gather wordlists for specific technology (Assetnote, SecList and Naughty Strings)
- [ ] Map the attack surface automatically (e.g Burp spider)
- [ ] Identify all javascript files for later analysis (in your proxy)
- [ ] Scope Discovery (DNS, IPs, Subdomains)
- [ ] Capture API contracts (OpenAPI/GraphQL) and diff against observed traffic
- [ ] Identify gateways/WAF/CDN (headers, cookies, control pages)
- [ ] Identify cache layers and behaviors (vary keys, CDN rules, edge rewrites)

### Find Origin IP behind CDN/WAF

- [ ] Confirm WAF presence (IP Org check, headers, cookies, block pages).
- [ ] Check Historical DNS records (SecurityTrails, DNSDumpster).
- [ ] Enumerate Subdomains & check IPs (focus on dev/staging).
- [ ] Analyze SSL Certificates (Censys, Shodan - check SANs).
- [ ] Analyze Email Headers from target (Received, X-Originating-IP).
- [ ] Test potential IPs directly (`curl --resolve example.com:443:<IP> https://example.com/`).
- [ ] Verify potential origin IPs (compare content, headers, certs).
- [ ] Probe HTTP/3 Alt‑Svc leakage and SNI/Host mismatches.
