SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents accidental leakage of session cookies, Authorization tokens, and other users’ PII in screenshots and HAR attachments, which can invalidate bug-bounty submissions and create real privacy risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cookie redaction discipline: Identifies what to mask (session cookies, CSRF-bound tokens, Authorization, Cookie/Set-Cookie values) and recommends practical capture techniques (avoid capturing cookies, hide Burp request bodies, black-bar overlays when necessary).
  • PII black-bar protocol: Distinguishes between attacker-session data you can keep and other-user PII you must mask (names, emails, phones, faces/photos, sensitive IDs), while preserving triager-valuable structure (field presence and schema).
  • HAR sanitization via jq: Provides a concrete sanitization approach to strip sensitive headers/cookies and suggests additional response-body redaction when cross-account data is present.
  • Evidence readiness hygiene: Enforces before/after checklists (panel visibility, console screenshot practices, verification by searching for cookie substrings) and post-submission rotation guidance to render captured secrets dead.

Quick Start

Use evidence-hygiene to prepare a clean set of Bugcrowd-style attachments by redacting session cookies, black-barring other-user PII, and sanitizing any exported HAR file before you upload your PoC.

Frequently Asked Questions about evidence-hygiene

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I redact cookies and PII from HAR files before submitting a bug bounty report?▼

To redact cookies and PII from HAR files, sanitize your exports using jq-based logic to strip sensitive headers, session cookies, and Authorization tokens while preserving the triager-relevant metadata needed for validation.

What is the best way to black-bar other users' PII in bug bounty screenshots?▼

The best way to black-bar PII in bug bounty screenshots is to mask other users' names, emails, phones, and sensitive IDs with black-bar overlays, while preserving the field schema and presence so triagers can verify the vulnerability impact.

How do I hide sensitive Authorization headers and request bodies in Burp Suite Repeater screenshots?▼

To hide sensitive Authorization headers and request bodies in Burp Suite, apply capture discipline by avoiding cookie capture, hiding request bodies, and using black-bar overlays when necessary to prevent accidental secret leakage in PoC attachments.

Does evidence hygiene require rotating session cookies after submitting a bug bounty PoC?▼

Yes, evidence hygiene requires post-submission rotation guidance to render captured session cookies and Authorization tokens dead, ensuring that any secrets accidentally exposed in your bug report dossier cannot be reused.

Can I use jq to sanitize Chrome HAR exports for cross-account data leakage?▼

Yes, you can use jq to sanitize Chrome HAR exports by stripping sensitive headers and cookies, and applying additional response-body redaction rules to remove cross-account data leakage while maintaining the structural integrity needed for triage.
