Firefox Browser Preferences for Security Researchers

Our goals are to:

• make a better surf experience for security researchers (pentester / penetration tester or hackers)
• stop blowing up MitM-Proxies like BurpSuite with Updates, search suggestions or "oh" - wait I search the captive portal for you.

This is an open source project. Your contributions and pull requests are welcome.

Installation

Create a new firefox profile and place the user.js inside this profile folder. To figure out the profile folder or to create a new profile see: about:profiles

Check:

• Open about:config. If there is no warning, the installation was successful.
• Or open a new tab, if there is nothing, the installation was successful.
• Or type google in the address bar. If the site could not be found and there is no search executed the installation was successful.

Limits

• URL normalization (RFC 3986) can no longer be turned off. I found this thread on StackOverflow, but the flag is no longer valid.. That's why path traversal attempts have to be tested with other tools.
