I've wrote a blog post on this issue https://medium.com/@beneyalraj03/how-i-tested-for-open-redirect-using-akto-f424d0fe5a7a

@beneyalraj Blog looks good to me. Loved the memes.

Some suggestions

  1. Step 1 (Selecting the API Collection for Testing). Talk about which kind of APIs should be preferred to be tested. In case of open redirect vulnerability it's the 302 response APIs
  2. Talk about https://www.akto.io/test/open-redirect in your blog. Akto has test library where anyone can test their API for Open Redirect vulnerability without signing up on Akto and highlight the simplicity of the approach

Make these changes and we are pretty much good to go.
