# Exploiting WebSocket Vulnerabilities
## When to Use
- During authorized penetration tests when the application uses WebSocket connections for real-time features
- When assessing chat applications, live notifications, trading platforms, or collaborative editing tools
- For testing WebSocket API endpoints for authentication and authorization flaws
- When evaluating real-time data streams for injection vulnerabilities
- During security assessments of applications using Socket.IO, SignalR, or native WebSocket APIs
## Prerequisites
- **Authorization**: Written penetration testing agreement covering WebSocket testing
- **Burp Suite Professional**: With WebSocket interception capability
