Welcome to The XSS Rat 🐀
Where hacking meets teaching. I build realistic labs, record raw bug bounty hunts, and break down vulnerabilities the way they actually happen in the wild. Forget puzzle-box CTFs—this channel is about quality hacker education that’s affordable, practical, and straight from the trenches.
