👤 Who Am I
I'm Waer (Abdelrahman) — a cybersecurity researcher and bug bounty hunter focused on web application security, cloud exploitation, and security automation.
This repository is my brain, exported. E here comes from hands-on experience: breaking into bug bounty targets, solving CTF challenges, completing APT lab simulations, and building my own security tooling. I don't write about attacks I've only read about — I write about attacks I', debugged, and reported.
Areas I work in:
🎯 Bug Bounty Hunting — web app recon, discovery, and responsible disclosure🔐 Penetration Testing — web, API, cloud infrastructure, and CMS-specific testing🏴 CTF Competitions — web exploitation, forensics, steganography, and crypto🤖 Security Automation — custom recon tools, JS crawlers, and AI-powered security agents☁️ Cloud Security — AWS exploitation, Spring Boot misconfigurations, metadata attacks🕵️ APT Emulation — simulating real-world threat actors (Star Blizzard, breach)📬 Get in touch:

🔥 What's Inside
This isn't a wiki dump or a copy-paste of OWASP pages. Every document here follows a battle-tested structure: detect it → exploit it → escalate it → report it, with real payloads, real tool commands, and real decision trees.

|---------|-------|-----------------|
| methodology/ | 5 docs | Full workflows from recon to exploitation to pri escalation |
| techniques/ | 20 docs | Deep dives into every major web class with working payloads |
| scenarios/ | 10 docs | Step-by-step attack playbooks you can follow during li |

🎯 Who This Is For
🏴☠️ Bug Bounty Hunters
You'll find ready-to-use
attack playbooks with exact payloads, WAF bypass techniques, and chaining patterns (XSS + CORS = ATO, Open Redirect + OAuth = token theft). The methodology docs cover the full lifecycle: target selection → recon → exploitation → escalation → reporting. No fluff — just what works.
🔓 Penetration Testers
The
pri escalation checklist covers web, Linux, Windows, and AWS in one document. Technique docs include detection commands, exploitation steps, and filter bypass tables you can reference mid-engagement. Scenarios serve as step-by-step checklists during assessments.
🏁 CTF Players
Case studies include
CTF write-ups for SSTI, XXE, DNS zone transfers, and S3 bucket misconfigurations. The forensics section covers JPEG/PNG steganography workflows, and the tools section has the exact analysis order for forensics challenges. The SSTI workflow includes a
decision tree for fingerprinting template engines.
🧪 CTF Challenge Makers
Understand how attackers approach your challenges. The scenario docs reveal the
thought process and decision trees players use — from initial detection probes to full exploitation chains. Use this to design better, more realistic challenges.
📚 Security Students & Researchers
Every technique doc is structured as a
learning path: what the is → when it happens → how to find it → how to exploit it → how to escalate impact → what tools to use. Start with methodology, then go deep into any technique that interests you.
🛡️ Blue Team / Defenders
Each technique doc includes
what to look for from the attacker's perspecti how attackers chain helps you build better detections, write better rules, and prioritize hardening efforts.
