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
I copied all payloads to the clipboard, pasted them into the Intruder's word list and hit the "Start attack" button.
Within seconds, I had a working proof of concept.
How do you use the XSS cheat sheet? I'm keen to know!
