I read src/pentesting-web/open-redirect.md, researched recent techniques/tools, and updated the page. Key changes:

• Expanded “Redirect to localhost or arbitrary domains” with modern host bypass techniques (IPv4/IPv6 alt encodings, wildcard DNS to 127.0.0.1, userinfo tricks, network-path //, and backslash parser confusion).
• Added “Modern open-redirect to XSS pivots” note plus an extra expandable cheat sheet of URL-based bypass payloads.
• Added a practical “Hunting and exploitation workflow” section with curl verification and a scalable recon/fuzzing pipeline (gau/waybackurls + OpenRedireX) and notes for SPA/DOM sinks and meta refresh.
• Cross-referenced related HackTricks pages:
  • SSRF URL format bypass page
  • Next.js pitfalls page
  • OAuth-to-account-takeover page (to avoid duplication and show chaining impact)
• Expanded Tools with OpenRedireX and usage example.
• Kept the original payload lists, parameters, and code examples intact.
• Converted the end to have a “## References” section as the last section, with two up-to-date, highly relevant links (PortSwigger WSA DOM open redirect and OpenRedireX). Preserved the previous “Resources” section for value.

If you want further additions (e.g., framework-specific snippets for Rails/Laravel/Express redirect helpers or more automation examples with httpx/qsreplace), I can add them next.
