Bypass WAFs by Shortening IP Address (by 0xInfection)

IP addresses can be shortened by dropping the zeroes:

http://1.0.0.1 → http://1.1
http://127.0.0.1 → http://127.1
http://192.168.0.1 → http://192.168.1

http://0xC0A80001 or http://3232235521 → 192.168.0.1
http://192.168.257 → 192.168.1.1
http://192.168.516 → 192.168.2.4

This bypasses WAF filters for SSRF, open-redirect, etc where any IP as input gets blacklisted.

SSH local port forwarding

Example 1:

# Forwarding our local 2250 port to nmap.org:443 from localhost through localhost
host1> ssh -L 2250:nmap.org:443 localhost

# Connect to the service:
host1> curl -Iks --location -X GET https://localhost:2250

Example 2:

# Forwarding our local 9051 port to db.d.x:5432 from localhost through node.d.y
host1> ssh -nNT -L 9051:db.d.x:5432 node.d.y

# Connect to the service:
host1> psql -U db_user -d db_dev -p 9051 -h localhost
  • -n - redirects stdin from /dev/null

  • -N - do not execute a remote command

  • -T - disable pseudo-terminal allocation

SSH remote port forwarding

# Forwarding our local 9051 port to db.d.x:5432 from host2 through node.d.y
