> Stripping headers, not allowing other than GET requests

GET foobar.com/thisissomeextracteddata

You can also imagine it being much subtle, encoded/encrypted, sent in small pieces to avoid detection, etc.

Not what I mean at all.

Firstly, the forum site I’m theorising here is not compromised.

Secondly, as I mentioned, in this situation I would limit the URLs it’s allowed to get.

You’d allow the top level of the forum index, and only then allow it to follow links within that site. “Thisissomedata” would be denied anyway.

All I meant was all of these complex limitations still don’t prevent exfiltration.
