# Rate Limit Bypass
## Using similar endpoints
* If you are attacking the `/api/v3/sign-up` endpoint try to perform bruteforce to `/Sing-up`, `/SignUp`, `/singup`...
* Also try appending to the original endpoint bytes like `%00`, `%0d%0a`, `%0d`, `%0a`, `%09`, `%0C`, `%20`
## Blank chars in code/params
Try adding some blank byte like:
* `%00`
* `%0d%0a`
* `%0d`
* `%0a`
* `%09`
* `%0C`
* `%20`
to the code and/or params.
For example `code=1234%0a` or if you are requesting a code for an email and you only have 5 tries, use the 5 tries for `example@email.com`, then for `example@email.com%0a`, then for `example@email.com%0a%0a`, and continue...
## Changing IP origin using headers
```bash
X-Originating-IP: 127.0.0.1
X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
X-Remote-IP: 127.0.0.1
X-Remote-Addr: 127.0.0.1
X-Client-IP: 127.0.0.1
X-Host: 127.0.0.1
X-Forwared-Host: 127.0.0.1
# OR use double X-Forwared-For header
X-Forwarded-For:
X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
```
> If they are limiting to 10 tries per IP, every 10 tries change the IP inside the header.
## Change other headers
Try changing the `user-agent`, the `cookies`... anything that could be able to identify you.
## Adding extra params to the path
If the limit in the path `/resetpwd`, try BFing that path, and once the rate limit is reached try `/resetpwd?someparam=1`
## Login in your account before each attempt
Maybe if you login into your account before each attempt (or each set of X tries), the rate limit is restarted. If you are attacking a login functionality, you can do this in burp using a Pitchfork attack in setting your credentials every X tries (and marking follow redirects).
