## What it is
ezXSS is a self-hosted PHP application that helps penetration testers and bug bounty hunters detect and exploit (blind) cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. When a payload fires, it captures page data (DOM, cookies, screenshots, storage) and alerts the user via email, Telegram, Slack, or Discord.

## Use cases
- test for blind XSS vulnerabilities
- capture XSS reports during bug bounty hunting
- get alerted when an XSS payload triggers
- track persistent XSS sessions across pages
- collect page DOM and screenshots from vulnerable pages
- manage XSS payloads and reports with a team

## When to choose
- you need to detect blind XSS that fires long after injection
- you want a self-hosted XSS reporting dashboard with alerts
- you're a pentester or bug bounty hunter testing web apps

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose web vulnerability scanner
- you lack a PHP server or domain to host it
- you want automated scanning rather than payload-based detection

## Facets
