👋 Hey, I’m Vipul
I’m a cybersecurity enthusiast and the writer behind The Hacker’s Log — where I break down how real hackers think, find, and exploit vulnerabilities (ethically, of course 😎).
In today’s deep-dive, let’s uncover one of the most powerful — yet underrated — hacker secrets:
Hidden API Endpoints.

🧩 What Are Hidden API Endpoints?
Every web app relies on APIs — those invisible bridges connecting your clicks to the database.
But here’s the twist: not all endpoints are visible. Some are hidden or undocumented, like:
/api/v2/internal/users/api/admin/deleteUser/api/dev/test_endpoint
These are internal routes developers use for debugging, testing, or staging environments.
They often don’t appear on the UI, but they still respond if you know where to knock. 🚪
And that’s what makes them gold for bug bounty hunters and pentesters.
