Workaround for "Audit selected items" (does not work when crawl is used): hide out of scope items in the site map filter before initiating the scan and they will be excluded ("Consolidate items..." also has an option to check and verify this).

Apart from being able to extract the content, #Chrome also sends the full file path when viewing a local PDF, but #Acrobat doesn't do the same. Looks like Chrome always truncates the last character of the file path, incorrectly assuming it's a trailing NULL value.

I was looking for an example of RFD to demonstrate on when I realized that @PortSwigger labs provides what I need: portswigger-labs.net/xss/con… Interesting side note: Chrome in Android associates the download with the current page before link is visited, not the download server.

Playing around with HTTP request smuggling at @WebSecAcademy tonight after work to confirm that it's trivial to abuse both CL.TE and TE.CL for denial of service attacks, below is a simple page load taking several minutes. Perhaps this is well-known already?

@albinowax - what are the connection pool settings in the lab environment? Trying to figure out if this impact is just due to special circumstances or something that could potentially be abused to take down any system vulnerable to request smuggling.

My daughter was there to cheer me on at the 25km mark, now she got inspired and told me she wants to start training for a marathon when she grows up. :)

Thinking back on the five years since I moved to London to work for Cigital (now @synopsys), I feel very lucky to be involved in a lot of interesting projects. Among other things, I've delivered 70 security trainings and probably reached 1000 developers around the world.
