Two years ago, something very strange happened to me while working from my home network. I was exploiting a blind XXE vulnerability that required an external HTTP server to smuggle out files, so I spun up an AWS box and ran a simple Python webserver to receive the traffic from the vulnerable server.

This is actually nuts. I watched a video breakdown of this blog post and my jaw was on the floor. Super interesting stuff.

Really good writeup of a very interesting exploit.
