The BAC/IDOR Automation Mastery Course (https://lnkd.in/gZTznAft) has reached a 400 Milestone, helping beginners and seasoned bug hunters uncover critical vulnerabilities like Broken Access Control (BAC) and Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR). This course provides hands-on automation techniques to efficiently detect these flaws, leading to real-world bug bounty successes.

You Should Know: BAC/IDOR Detection & Automation Techniques
1. Understanding BAC & IDOR
- Broken Access Control (BAC): Unauthorized access due to misconfigured permissions.
- IDOR: Manipulating object references (e.g., `/user?id=123` →
/user?id=124).
2. Automated Testing with Python & Bash
Python Script for IDOR Detection
import requests
target_url = "https://example.com/user?id="
for user_id in range(1, 100):
response = requests.get(target_url + str(user_id))
if response.status_code == 200:
print(f"Potential IDOR: {target_url}{user_id}")
Bash Script for Forced Browsing (BAC Check)
!/bin/bash
for endpoint in admin dashboard settings; do
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://example.com/$endpoint"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Vulnerable endpoint: /$endpoint"
fi
done
3. Burp Suite Automation
- Use Burp Intruder to fuzz parameters:
§user_id§
- Configure payloads (numbers, UUIDs) to test IDOR.
4. Linux Commands for Recon
Find hidden endpoints ffuf -u https://example.com/FUZZ -w wordlist.txt Check misconfigured permissions curl -I -X GET https://example.com/admin --header "Cookie: admin=true"
5. Windows Command for Access Testing
Test unauthorized API access Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://example.com/api/user/1" -Method GET
What Undercode Say
Automating BAC/IDOR detection is a game-changer in bug hunting. By combining Python scripts, Burp Suite, and Linux tools, you can uncover vulnerabilities at scale. Always verify manually to avoid false positives.
Prediction: As APIs grow, automated BAC/IDOR tools will become essential for security teams.
