Great tool is for .DS_Store files which are often accidentally included in git repositories from Mac devs. These files can be parsed revealing a list of files in the directory. Those files could include passwords, keys etc. #BugBountyTip #infosec #hacking

I was today years old when I learnt you could pipe lists into ffuf instead of just specifying a file. For example, if you wanted to test a bunch of id numbers against an endpoint ( think IDOR ) then you could do "seq 1 - 1000 | ffuf -w - -u " #bugbountytips
