About me

I am the XSS Rat, an experienced ethical hacker who stands for quality and who believes knowledge is a building block we can all use to grow bigger than we ever were. As a software tester I have a unique skill set that centres around logic flaws and IDORs which I have not seen very much by other hunters. This gives me the advantage of finding less duplicates and maximising my chance of finding a vulnerability by picking the correct target and applying the correct test strategy.
