In case you missed it, we dropped updated version of our AI tools and resources guide for pe*******on testers. If you're curious how artificial intelligence can give you a competitive edge in pentesting, this guide is worth your time. 💡⌚

What's included in this version:

𝗖𝗔𝗜 for building your own red-team, blue-team, and bug-bounty agents
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘅 for autonomous pentesting, with a no-setup cloud option 𝗡𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮 for an AI assistant that lives right in your terminal
𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿 for hunting real zero-days in Python code
𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗔𝗚𝗜 for handing off the heavy lifting entirely

𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗶𝗽: a couple of these (𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿 and 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗔𝗚𝗜) can fire off a lot of model calls, so set a 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 on your API key before you turn them loose. Your wallet will thank you.

SSRF can be one of the trickiest - and most impactful - vulnerabilities you’ll encounter during a web application pe*******on test.

So, how does it work? And more importantly, how can you identify, verify, exploit, and prevent it?

Let’s explore SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery). In this guide, you’ll learn:

📌 How SSRF occurs in web applications
📌 Strategies for detecting it
📌 How to verify potential SSRF vulnerabilities
📌 Exploiting SSRF during a pentest or bug bounty hunt
📌 How to prevent SSRF vulnerabilities in the first place

Trying to break into cybersecurity can feel a lot less intimidating when you have a roadmap.

Our Security Operations Learning Path was built for people who want a structured way to move from the fundamentals into SOC and security analyst work, and then keep building toward more advanced roles.

The path starts with foundational IT, Linux, help desk, and soft skills, then moves into security fundamentals, SOC analysis, detection engineering, and more advanced SOC work.
