I've recently encountered a web application firewall in a pentest, blocking all my attempts to insert an XSS payload.

In such cases, I love to use the #PortSwigger cross-site scripting cheat sheet: https://portswigger.net/web-security/cross-site-scripting/cheat-sheet

#portswigger has released some #ai thingy for #burpsuite. It doesn't do anything on it's own, but the feature is on by default.
