Collaborator settings - Port Swigger

Summary: PortSwigger's documentation for Burp Collaborator settings explains that Collaborator is an external service Burp uses to discover vulnerabilities such as external service interaction and out-of-band XSS. The public Collaborator server currently uses the domains *.burpcollaborator.net or *.oastify.com, and PortSwigger says it periodically adds new domain names to reduce the chance of WAF blacklisting that causes false negatives.

Why it matters: If your WAF blacklists the Collaborator domains, out-of-band findings turn into false negatives, so the machine and target application need access to both domains on ports 80 and 443.
