This tweet reflects on the experience of a security researcher who specialized in finding and sharing serious and effective Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) bypass techniques. The researcher mentions that previously, the community known as the "XSS elite" mocked them because their findings were being widely spread. However, the researcher emphasizes that their work was always serious and impactful. Nowadays, the researcher observes that there is a lot of fake, useless, and often incorrect content about XSS and WAF bypassing circulating online. They question the whereabouts of the earlier community members who once mocked them, implying that the quality of content and expertise has declined. This tweet highlights issues in the security community regarding the quality and reliability of information related to WAF bypassing and XSS vulnerabilities.
