The XSS Handbook: Your Guide to Cross-Site Scripting Attacks 🔍 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities are among the most common and critical issues affecting web applications. This comprehensive handbook provides a detailed look into XSS attacks, including their types, common locations, and payload techniques. Here are some key highlights: 🔥 Types of XSS Attacks: Stored XSS: Persistent and affects multiple users, as the payload is stored on the server. Reflected XSS: Occurs when user input is reflected directly in the response. Blind XSS: Targets occur where the attacker doesn’t immediately see the payload execution. 🚨 Where to Look for XSS: Input fields, URL parameters, and HTTP headers. Forms, search bars, and comment sections are prime spots for potential vulnerabilities. 💡 Foundation Payloads: Basic payloads include: <script>alert('XSS')</script> Advanced payloads can bypass filters with obfuscation techniques like URL encoding and splitting payloads across parameters. 🛡️ Bypassing WAFs: Utilize multiple parameter techniques, regular expression bypasses, and encoding methods to evade Web Application Firewalls (WAFs). Understanding XSS and knowing how to protect against it are essential for any cybersecurity professional. #XSS #WebSecurity #CyberSecurity #PenTest #BugBounty #InfoSec #Scripting #WAF

💉 Mastering SQL Injection: A Comprehensive Guide 💉 SQL injection is a critical and often devastating vulnerability that attackers use to manipulate databases and extract valuable information. Here’s a quick breakdown of key points from this comprehensive guide on SQL Injection: 🚨 Common Goals of SQL Injection: Information Leakage: Gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. Data Manipulation: Alter stored data within a database. Authentication Bypass: Access restricted areas without valid credentials. 🛠️ Key Techniques: Entry Point Detection: Use characters like ', %27, ", and %22 to test input fields. DBMS Identification: Commands like conv('a',16,2)=conv('a',16,2) for MySQL and @@CONNECTIONS=@@CONNECTIONS for MSSQL help identify the database type. SQLMap: Automate SQL injections with essential commands, such as: sqlmap --url="<target URL>" -p <parameter> --dbs 🔄 Bypass Methods: Tamper Scripts: Modify payloads using tamper scripts like charencode.py to evade security filters. Authentication Bypass: Use payloads like ' OR 1=1 -- to bypass login forms. #SQLInjection #CyberSecurity #WebSecurity #PenTest #EthicalHacking #DBMS #SQLMap

🔧 Mastering PowerShell: A Practical Guide for Beginners 🔧 PowerShell is more than just a scripting language—it’s a powerful tool that can automate, streamline, and secure your IT environment. Here are the essential takeaways for beginners stepping into the world of PowerShell: 🚀 PowerShell Basics: Cmdlets: These are built-in commands, structured as Verb-Noun, like Get-Process or Start-Service. Comments: Use # for single-line comments and <#...#> for block comments. Pipes: Pass data between cmdlets, e.g., Get-Service | Sort-Object Status. 💡 Active Directory Management: Create Users: New-ADUser -Name "John Doe" -Path "OU=Users,DC=example,DC=com". Manage Groups: Add-ADGroupMember -Identity "IT Group" -Members "J.Doe". User & Computer Management: Create, disable, and delete accounts efficiently. 📁 File System Management: View Directories: Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Files. Create Files/Folders: New-Item -Path C:\Files\newfile.txt -ItemType File.

Building a Malicious Website for MITM Credential Harvesting 👾 This lab demonstrates how ARP & DNS Poisoning can be combined with a fake website to conduct a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack for credential harvesting. 🛠️ Steps Involved: 1. Setup Apache: Install Apache on Kali Linux to serve as your fake web server. 2. Create a Fake Login Page: Mimic the target website by creating an HTML file with login fields and simple PHP code to log credentials. 3. ARP Poisoning: Use tools like arpspoof to intercept network traffic and route it to your Kali machine. 4. DNS Spoofing: Redirect users trying to visit the real site to your fake site by spoofing DNS responses using dnsspoof. 5. Log Credentials: Capture login details with your PHP script for further analysis. 🔒 Challenges: HSTS & Pre-loaded HTTPS lists: Many websites enforce HTTPS strictly, preventing successful spoofing. This is a key limitation when targeting sites that are pre-configured for HTTPS. #CyberSecurity #MITM #ARPspoof #DNSspoof #PenTest #RedTeam #Apache #CredentialHarvesting

🔒 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Understanding and Mitigating the Risk 🔒 CSRF is a dangerous web vulnerability where attackers trick users into executing unintended actions on a website where they are authenticated. This can lead to severe consequences, including unauthorized transactions, data breaches, and account takeovers. Here's how CSRF attacks unfold: 🚨 How a CSRF Attack Works: 1. User Authentication: The victim logs into a trusted website (e.g., a bank), and their browser stores a session cookie. 2. Malicious Request: The attacker crafts a fake request that mimics valid actions on the site (e.g., transferring money). 3. User Deception: The victim unknowingly clicks a link or visits a malicious site. 4. Execution: The forged request uses the victim's authenticated session, tricking the server into executing unauthorized actions. #CSRF #CyberSecurity #WebSecurity #PenTest #EthicalHacking #ApplicationSecurity #InfoSec #OWASP
