This project is an interactive web application and detailed analysis that summarizes and visualizes the key findings from PortSwigger's groundbreaking research paper, "HTTP/1.1 Must Die: The Desync Endgame."
The goal is to make the core concepts, real-world impact, and necessary solutions understandable to a broader audience through two formats:
- An interactive single-page application for a high-level, visual understanding.
- A detailed written analysis for a deeper technical dive.
Key Features of the Interactive Report:
- Interactive Diagrams: Visualizing the core "desync" flaw in HTTP/1.1.
- Data Visualization: A chart showcasing the significant bug bounties awarded for these vulnerabilities.
- Case Studies: Summaries of compromises affecting major platforms like Cloudflare, Akamai, and Netlify.
- Actionable Recommendations: Role-based advice for security teams, developers, and the industry at large.
This project is an educational summary and visualization. All credit for the original research, findings, and concepts belongs to James Kettle and the PortSwigger research team.
