In the shadowy corners of cybersecurity, where penetration testers, ethical hackers, and unfortunately, malicious actors converge, few tools have garnered as much notoriety as Openbullet. Originally designed as a legitimate automation tool for web testing (specifically credential stuffing resistance), it has become a double-edged sword.

When testing an API endpoint:
"status":"success","user":null
Your config uses the capture user:(.*?) to extract a value. In 1.4.2, null becomes an empty string. In 1.4.4 Anomaly builds, null triggers a NullReferenceException internally, caught and logged as "Anomaly." Symptom: After 50-100 requests
Symptom: After 50-100 requests, every subsequent attempt shows "Anomaly" until you restart the bot.
Cause: A memory leak in the proxy rotation handler. 1.4.4 attempts to automatically bypass rate-limiting by switching proxies mid-scan, but the socket handler fails to close stale connections, creating a ghost null proxy object. The bot sends PROXY: NULL to the target server, which returns an immediate 400 Bad Request, flagged as Anomaly.
