XSS Attack - Busting Browsers to Root!
Date: July 25, 2011 11:27PM
This video will demonstrate how a simple XSS vulnerability can be leveraged to gain complete control of your web-browser and eventually lead to a complete system compromise.
1. We will use a cross-site scripting vulnerability as the initial attack vector
2. Exploit XSS by redirecting the user’s browser to the Evil_IP with a JavaScript loop (every 2 secs)
3. Exploit the victim’s browser to gain system ‘root’ or ‘shell’ access
4. Elevate our privileges to system-level
5. Dump the memory contents from an active SSH session and steal the SSH password from the victim’s computer
GAME OVER!
