## What it is
A Burp Suite extension written in Python that automatically attempts to bypass 403 Forbidden responses on restricted directories. It hooks into Burp's PassiveScan to test each 403 request against a list of path manipulation and header-spoofing payloads.

## Use cases
- bypass 403 forbidden pages during web app pentesting
- automatically test restricted directories for access control flaws
- find ways to access admin panels blocked by 403
- test header-based authorization bypasses like X-Forwarded-For
- augment Burp Suite scans with 403 bypass payloads

## When to choose
- you already use Burp Suite for manual web penetration testing
- you want automatic passive scanning of 403 responses without extra tooling
- you need a quick curated payload list for access control bypass attempts

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone CLI bypass tool outside Burp Suite
- you require a maintained project with a license and active releases
- you need advanced bypass techniques beyond the built-in payload list

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, http-client, middleware
- domain: security, penetration-testing, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, python, browser-extension
- tags: burpsuite-extension, 403-bypass, passive-scanning, payload-generation, web-security-testing
