Hey Hunters,
DarkShadow here — back with a slick trick to bypass basic auth on certain subdomains! 😎

Seen those subdomains with login pop-ups? Yep, the classic 401 Unauthorized. Usually, you can’t access anything without creds.

But here’s the twist…

🔍 Find 401 subdomains with:

domain="target.com" && status_code="401"

Got one? Nice.

💥 Bypass trick:
If the target leaks any files or fingerprints (like JS, PDF, XLS, etc.) in public indexes (like FOFA), you can often access them without auth!

🧠 FOFA dork to find leaked files:

domain="401.target.subdomain" && (body=".php" body=".pdf" body=".xls" body=".html" body=".js" body=".json" body=".jpg" body=".conf" body=".jsp" || body=".css")

If you got 200 OK, boom 💣 — you’re in.

In my test, I found a JS file that loaded fully in FOFA, even though it normally prompts for login.

💡 Pro tip: Save the code, render it locally — and access internal content without creds!

So guys, did you like my basic this recon trick? Want more from DarkShadow?
