Website hacking and prevention (All Tools,Topics & Technique )Jay Nagar
This document discusses the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL and its potential impacts. Heartbleed is a bug in the OpenSSL cryptography library that exposes the contents of the server's memory, including private keys and user session cookies. An attacker can exploit Heartbleed to steal sensitive data from vulnerable servers or impersonate services. The vulnerability had widespread implications because OpenSSL is used to secure a majority of websites. While patching servers and changing passwords addressed direct theft of information, Heartbleed also weakened the security of encrypted communications and online identities.
File inclusion vulnerabilities allow attackers to include local and remote files on a server. If inclusion logic is not implemented properly, it can lead to source code disclosure, data exposure, and remote code execution. Common file inclusion attacks traverse directories, bypass extensions, inject payloads into log files or PHP sessions that are later executed on the server. Proper input validation and restricting included files can help mitigate these risks.
The document discusses various web application security vulnerabilities such as hidden field manipulation, parameter tampering, cross-site scripting, and SQL injection. It provides examples of how attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities and recommendations for developers on how to prevent attacks, including sanitizing user input, encrypting cookies, and validating parameters.
Abusing, Exploiting and Pwning with Firefox Add-onsAjin Abraham
The paper is about abusing and exploiting Firefox add-on Security model and explains how JavaScript functions, XPCOM and XPConnect interfaces, technologies like CORS and WebSocket, Session storing and full privilege execution can be abused by a hacker for malicious purposes. The widely popular browser add-ons can be targeted by hackers to implement new malicious attack vectors resulting in confidential data theft and full system compromise. This paper is supported by proof of concept add-ons which abuse and exploits the add-on coding in Firefox 17, the release which Mozilla boasts to have a more secure architecture against malicious plugins and add-ons. The proof of concept includes the implementation of a Local keylogger, a Remote keylogger, stealing Linux password files, spawning a Reverse Shell, stealing the authenticated Firefox session data, and Remote DDoS attack. All of these attack vectors are fully undetectable against anti-virus solutions and can bypass protection mechanisms.

This document discusses testing REST web services at three levels: message level, resource level, and application level.
At the message level, tests check for correct HTTP syntax, semantics, and payload syntax and semantics. At the resource level, tests check if resources match link semantics, are available over time, have stable semantics over time, and maintain variants. At the application level, tests check if the service offers expected capabilities and if the user's goal is reachable.
The document provides guidance for both server and client developers, noting what each can rely on and what each must implement to ensure the service under test conforms to the constraints of REST.
This document summarizes a case study of a remote code execution vulnerability in a publicly available web application called BogusVenture. Due to flaws in the application's file upload functionality, an attacker could craft an HTTP request to upload a malicious file like a DLL that would execute code on the server. The vulnerability was possible due to a lack of authentication on internal pages, bypassable file type validation via direct requests, and a bug in filename canonicalization that allowed traversing to other parts of the file system. The case study aims to demonstrate how these flaws could be exploited to achieve remote code execution without any user credentials.

TakeDownCon Rocket City: WebShells by Adrian CrenshawEC-Council
The document discusses various techniques for gaining remote access to websites through automated collection of remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities and web shells. It provides examples of PHP code that can be used to upload files, execute system commands, and create backdoors. It also lists sources for common web shells and techniques for obfuscating shell code, communicating stealthily, and restricting access to authorized users only. The document is an educational overview of RFI exploitation and automated web shell collection and management.
Directory traversal, also known as path traversal, allows attackers to access files and directories outside of the web server's designated root folder. This can lead to attacks like file inclusion, where malicious code is executed on the server, and source code disclosure, where sensitive application code is revealed. Local file inclusion allows attackers to include files from the local web server, while remote file inclusion includes files from external websites, potentially allowing remote code execution on the vulnerable server.
Abstract
In this article, we explore the path traversal attacks, also known as directory traversal attacks, and the potential harm they can cause to a system. We begin with an introduction to path traversal, explaining what it is and how attackers can exploit it to gain unauthorized access to files and directories. We then dive into the different techniques that can be used to exploit path traversal, including manipulating file paths and using encoding techniques. To prevent these attacks, we discuss several best practices, such as input validation and path normaliza- tion. Finally, we provide examples of more secure code and discuss how developers can implement these practices to strengthen their ap- plication’s defenses against path traversal attacks. Whether you’re a developer, a security professional, or just interested in learning more about cyber-security, this article provides valuable insights into one of the most common types of web application vulnerabilities.
Best practices of web app security (samvel gevorgyan)ClubHack
This document discusses best practices for web application security in 2010. It covers common vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting, SQL injection, information leakage, and cross-site request forgery. For each vulnerability, it provides descriptions, examples, and solutions. The top solutions mentioned are OWASP HTML Purifier for cross-site scripting, GreenSQL open source database firewall for SQL injection, and OWASP CSRFGuard for cross-site request forgery. The document aims to help web developers protect their applications from various security risks.
The document discusses canonicalization and directory traversal vulnerabilities. It explains that canonicalization ensures files have a standard name without symlinks or duplicate characters. Directory traversal occurs when a request contains ".." to access files outside the intended directory. The document recommends canonicalizing file paths using OS functions and using chroot jails to limit processes to a subdirectory.
This document summarizes an advanced Apache web server training session covering security and performance tuning. The key points discussed include:
1) Methods for securing an Apache server such as restricting access, disabling unneeded server technologies, running as a non-root user, using firewalls and encryption.
2) Configuring password-based authentication for protected directories using modules like mod_auth and storing passwords in text files created by the htpasswd utility.
3) An exercise where attendees set up password protection on their local Apache server website using a .htaccess file and htpasswd.
4) Restricting access to protected directories by IP, hostname or domain using directives in httpd.conf or .
Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to include files from a web server by manipulating input that is used to include files. For example, a script that includes files based on a page parameter, like script.php?page=index.html, could be exploited by changing the page parameter to try and include files like ../../../../etc/passwd. Successful exploitation can reveal sensitive information like the server's password file. LFI vulnerabilities are common and can often be exploited through PHP wrappers like php://input or php://filter to include files or execute system commands on the server.
This document discusses journeying from local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities to remote code execution (RCE). It begins with an introduction and overview. It then covers LFI in detail, explaining how to find and exploit LFI vulnerabilities using directory traversal to read files. Next, it discusses remote file inclusion (RFI) and how it can lead to code execution. Prevention methods are outlined. Finally, it demonstrates exploiting LFI and RFI on a test server, verifying with phpinfo() and ping, before obtaining a reverse shell through a GET request. Common log locations are also listed.
Mutillidae and the OWASP Top 10 by Adrian Crenshaw aka IrongeekMagno Logan
The document discusses various web application vulnerabilities from the OWASP Top 10 list, including cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, remote file inclusion, insecure direct object references, and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). It provides examples of each vulnerability type and recommendations for prevention. It also introduces Mutillidae, a deliberately vulnerable web application that can be used to demonstrate these vulnerabilities in a controlled environment.
The document discusses different types of accidental source code disclosure including:
1) Source code available in HTML source code when dynamic pages are published as static pages.
2) Source code stored in readable backup files or configuration files that are accessible.
3) Websites that stream static files through a download script, allowing source code to be downloaded by changing the file name parameter.

The document discusses various browser attacks that can be performed by exploiting vulnerabilities in the same origin policy, cookies, caching, Google Gears, and Adobe Flash to steal sensitive user data like passwords and files. It introduces Imposter, a tool built by the author that makes such attacks easy to perform through a graphical user interface. Specific attacks demonstrated include stealing cached pages, cookies, Google Gears databases, and reading local files using Flash without user consent. The document argues that these attacks "phish" the browser in the same way traditional phishing targets users.
The document provides guidance on auditing the configuration of network infrastructure, application platforms, file extensions handling, backup/unreferenced files, admin interfaces, and HTTP methods for various web application security testing categories. It describes reviewing configuration of interconnected infrastructure components, application servers, file extensions handling on web servers, old/unreferenced files for sensitive data, discovering and accessing admin interfaces, and testing HTTP methods configuration to identify risks from improper settings. The guidance references specific OWASP testing steps for each category.
The document discusses analyzing web server and database server logs to investigate security incidents. It provides examples of analyzing web server logs to filter relevant requests and validate variables. It also discusses analyzing database query logs to detect SQL injection and persistent cross-site scripting attacks, and analyzing error logs to detect brute force attacks on the database server. The document aims to demonstrate an approach to incident analysis through log parsing and pattern matching.

Secure Code Warrior - Local file inclusion
1. Local File Inclusion
& Path Traversal
OWASP Web App Top 10
by Secure Code Warrior Limited is licensed under CC BY-ND 4.0
2. What is it?
“Local File Traversal (LFI)” is a
vulnerability that allows files hosted
on the server to be included and
potentially also executed. Using
“path traversal”, files located outside
of the current folder can be
accessed.
What causes it?
This vulnerability exploits the "dynamic file
include" mechanism that exists in
programming frameworks. A local file
inclusion happens when uncontrolled user
input (forms, headers, …) is used as
parameter to "file include“ commands. Path
traversal is possible because characters like
‘../’ (or encoded versions) are not being
checked against.
What could happen?
Depending on system access
restrictions various sensitive
files could be read or
executed. Password files,
database configuration files
or the database content itself
could be stolen. Remote code
could get executed.
How to prevent it?
Never directly pass user input to “file include”
commands: use an indirect reference map
instead. Alternatively, apply white-list
validation against all user controllable input,
e.g. reject ‘../’ and encoded variants.
3. Local File Inclusion / Path traversal
Understanding the security vulnerability
A vulnerable site uses the
‘page’ parameter which it
includes to dynamically
build the content of the site.
An attacker uses the ’page’
parameter to craft a URL to
try to access sensitive files
in other directories.
Eventually he finds the
correct path. User
account information is
returned to the output.
Using path traversal and
trial and error, he submits
manipulated requests to
the application server.
Application Server
http://site.com/?page=home
http://site.com/?page=../../../../../../etc/passwd
page = request.getParameter(‘page’);
echo include(page);
…
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin
alex:x:500:500:alex:/home/alex:/bin/bash
…
/etc/passwd
http://site.com/?page=../../../../../etc/passwd
http://site.com/?page=../../../../etc/passwd
4. Local File Inclusion / Path traversal
Realizing the impact
Next to reading files, advanced attacks can also
result in the execution of arbitrary malicious code
under specific circumstances.
A compromised server could lead to availability loss
and cause reputational and financial damages.
Customer data could get exposed, leading to
privacy issues, reputational and financial damages.
5. Local File Inclusion / Path traversal
Preventing the mistake
Use indirect object reference maps.
Apply white-list input validation.
Form parameters, cookies, HTTP headers.
Pay special attention to ‘../’ and encoded variants.
