Hack Mozilla Firefox addressbar

In Firefox’s addressbar, you can limit results by typing special characters before or after your term:

• ^ - for matches in your browsing history
• * - for matches in your bookmarks.
• % - for matches in your currently open tabs.
• # - for matches in page titles.
• @ - for matches in web addresses.

Bypass WAFs by Shortening IP Address (by 0xInfection)

IP addresses can be shortened by dropping the zeroes:

http://1.0.0.1 → http://1.1
http://127.0.0.1 → http://127.1
http://192.168.0.1 → http://192.168.1

http://0xC0A80001 or http://3232235521 → 192.168.0.1
http://192.168.257 → 192.168.1.1
http://192.168.516 → 192.168.2.4

This bypasses WAF filters for SSRF, open-redirect, etc where any IP as input gets blacklisted.

For more information please see How to Obscure Any URL and Magic IP Address Shortcuts.
