Bài Hướng Dẫn Mutillidae : Lesson 13 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting Injection #1, Man-In-The-Middle Attack

{ Reflected Cross Site Scripting Injection #1, 

Man-In-The-Middle Attack }

---

Section 0. Background Information

• What is Mutillidae?
  • OWASP Mutillidae II is a free, open source, deliberately vulnerable web-application providing a target for web-security enthusiast.
• What is Cross Site Scripting?
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in Web applications.
  • XSS enables attackers to inject client-side script into Web pages viewed by other users.
  • A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy.
  • In Addition, the attacker can send input (e.g., username, password, session ID, etc) which can be later captured by an external script.
   
• What is a Man-In-The-Middle attack?
  • The man-in-the-middle attack take on many forms.  The most common form is active network eavesdropping in which the attacker is able to gain authentication credentials (Username, Password, SESSIONID, Cookies Information, etc).
   
• What is Cookie Manager+?
  • Cookies manager to view, edit and create new cookies. It also shows extra information about cookies, allows edit multiple cookies at once and backup/restore them
   
• Pre-Requisite Lab
  1. Mutillidae: Lesson 1: How to Install Mutillidae in Fedora
     • Note: Remote database access has been turned on to provide an additional vulnerability.
  2. BackTrack: Lesson 1: Installing BackTrack 5
     • Note: This is not absolutely necessary, but if you are a computer security student or professional, you should have a BackTrack VM.
  3. BackTrack: Lesson 9: How To Install Firebug
     • Note: Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
  4. BackTrack: Lesson 10: How To Install Cookies Manager+ 1.5.2
     • Note: Cookies manager to view, edit and create new cookies.
• Lab Notes
  • In this lab we will do the following:
    1. Due to a purposely bug in the dns-lookup.php code, we will use Reflected Cross Site Scripting Techniques to test for vulnerabilities.
    2. We will capture UserID and Session Cookie Data.
    3. We will send captured UserID and Session Cookie Data to a remote location.
    4. We will use captured UserID and Session Cookie Data to re-enter the website.
