🔧 Technical Details

Research update for HackTricks content

🤖 Agent Actions

I read the existing page and related XS-Search pages in the repo, researched recent XS-Leaks material and CTF writeups, and enhanced the file with up-to-date, practical content while preserving the HackTricks style.

Key improvements made:

• Added 2024–2025 notes on cookie availability and workflow adaptations when third‑party cookies are blocked by default in some browsers.
• Added an alternative onerror oracle using stylesheets, in case <script> isn’t usable.
• Added an “Advanced: de Bruijn–based cookie packing” section with a compact generator and workflow that reflects modern CTF practice (LA CTF 2024).
• Added operational tips (cache busting, pooling artifacts, alternate subresources).
• Added “Common header/URL limits” with current Cloudflare limits so practitioners can size their cookie bombs appropriately.
• Added two recent, relevant references (LA CTF 2024 solver note and Cloudflare limits doc).

I have updated the file directly in the repository, keeping all valuable existing content and structure intact and only adding concise, technical improvements and examples.
