Note

I am not actively updating this extension. I recommend using either https://github.com/federicodotta/Java-Deserialization-Scanner, https://portswigger.net/bappstore/e20cad259d73403bba5ac4e393a8583f, or https://portswigger.net/bappstore/ae1cce0c6d6c47528b4af35faebc3ab3 for exploiting Java Deserialization

Instructions

  1. Right-click on a request and select Send to Java Serial Killer
    alt tag
  2. Highlight the area or parameter you want the serialized Java object to replace
  3. Select the payload that you want, type in the command, choose to base64 encode or not, and press Serialize

Note: You do not need to re-highlight the serialized Java object if you change the payload or command. It will automatically update the request with the correct serialization in the spot that you highlighted the first time, even if you base64 encode it.

  1. From here you can press Go button to send the request or right-click and send it to another tool.
