Novel attack technique playbooks from hacktricks-skills research, filtered for content not already in training data:

  • h2c-websocket-smuggling: H2C upgrade + WebSocket tunnel proxy bypass with proxy vulnerability matrix (HAProxy/Traefik inherently vuln)
  • timing-attack-recon: Hidden param/header/scoped SSRF discovery via server-side timing differentials (Kettle 2023)
  • http-connection-contamination: HTTP/2+ connection coalescing misroute across subdomains with wildcard TLS certs (Kettle)
  • xslt-injection: Processor fingerprint → file read → SSRF → RCE escalation ladder with capability matrix by XSLT version
  • esi-injection: ESI/SSI tag injection with software capability matrix (Squid/Akamai no whitelist), ESI+XSLT=XXE chain
  • grpc-web-pentest: JSON transcoder auth bypass, protobuf field injection, Envoy header injection
