SSRF localhost encoding bypass tips

March 25, 2026Web Security Academy, drak3hft7

Web Security Academy lists alternate encodings that resolve to localhost, and drak3hft7 says octal encoding helped bypass SSRF restrictions in a real exploit.

Your SSRF filter blocks 127.0.0.1 and localhost. That's okay! Try these:
2130706433 (decimal)
017700000001 (octal)
0x7f000001 (hex)
This exact trick recently helped me bypass restrictions and successfully exploit an SSRF.
