Web Hacker's Toolbox - Tools Used by Successful Hackers - Bypassing Web Application Firewalls Overview

The video tutorial discusses bypassing web application firewalls (WAFs) to test for SQL injection vulnerabilities. It explains the role of WAFs in blocking suspicious traffic and the challenges they pose for penetration testers. The tutorial introduces tamper scripting in SQL Map as a method to bypass WAFs by mutating requests. A practical example using the 'random case' tamper script is demonstrated to show how it can help in bypassing WAFs and testing for SQL injection vulnerabilities.
