HTTP 403 is a response code indicating that access to the requested resource is forbidden. This can happen due to various reasons, such as insufficient permissions or IP restrictions. However, certain creative strings can sometimes bypass these restrictions by exploiting flaws in the server’s handling of URL paths and inputs. Below are some examples and explanations of how these strings work:

1. /../: The ../ sequence is used to traverse up one directory level. If a server does not properly sanitize input, this can be used to access parent directories that might not be explicitly protected.
2. /...: Multiple dots can sometimes confuse the server's path resolution, potentially leading it to process the path incorrectly and grant access.
3. /~root, /~admin: Some servers use the tilde (~) to reference user home directories. By targeting common usernames, one might access restricted directories.
4. /%20/: %20 represents a space character. Adding spaces can sometimes confuse the server’s path parsing, leading to unintended access.
5. /..%00, /..%01, /..%0a, /..%0d, /..%09: These sequences involve URL encoding for null byte (%00), and other characters like newline (%0a), carriage return (%0d), and tab (%09). These encodings can sometimes manipulate the…
