DNS rebinding attack playbook. Use when testing applications that trust DNS resolution for origin checks, interact with internal services from browser context, or when SSRF is not possible server-side but the target has client-side fetch/XHR to attacker-controlled domains.

# SKILL: DNS Rebinding — Expert Attack Playbook
> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Expert DNS rebinding techniques for bypassing same-origin policy via DNS manipulation. Covers TTL tricks, browser cache bypasses, attack variants (HTTP, WebSocket, TOCTOU), internal service targeting, and tool usage. Base models confuse DNS rebinding with SSRF — this skill clarifies the client-side nature and unique exploit paths.

## 1. CORE PRINCIPLE
The browser same-origin policy binds `protocol + host + port`. The **host** is resolved via DNS at connection time. If an attacker controls the DNS server for `attacker.com`, they can:
