# HTTP Hidden Parameters
> Web applications often have hidden or undocumented parameters that are not exposed in the user interface. Fuzzing can help discover these parameters, which might be vulnerable to various attacks.

* [Exploit](#exploit)
* [Bruteforce parameters](#bruteforce-parameters)
* [Old parameters](#old-parameters)
* [References](#references)
## Tools
* [PortSwigger/param-miner](https://github.com/PortSwigger/param-miner) - Burp extension to identify hidden, unlinked parameters.
* [s0md3v/Arjun](https://github.com/s0md3v/Arjun) - HTTP parameter discovery suite
* [Sh1Yo/x8](https://github.com/Sh1Yo/x8) - Hidden parameters discovery suite
* [tomnomnom/waybackurls](https://github.com/tomnomnom/waybackurls) - Fetch all the URLs that the Wayback Machine knows about for a domain
* [devanshbatham/ParamSpider](https://github.com/devanshbatham/ParamSpider) - Mining URLs from dark corners of Web Archives for bug hunting/fuzzing/further probing
## Exploit
### Bruteforce parameters
* Use wordlists of common parameters and send them, look for unexpected behavior from the backend.
```ps1
x8 -u "https://example.com/" -w <wordlist>
x8 -u "https://example.com/" -X POST -w <wordlist>
```
Wordlist examples:
