Hi Adnan,

If you are comfortable with Javascripting, you can create an exploit
that would deface the website. Refer book, "XSS attacks" for more
information on xss exploits.

Good luck
Durga Prasad.

One thing quick is to use the XSS to steal visitor cookies and
sessionids then do session hijacking. Or use jitko to scan internal
systems. Also grossman described this approach recently.

Subject: Exploiting XSS

Dear List,

I'm doing a WAPT for a website and found many XSS issues (both Stored
and Reflected).
I wanted to do more and show to the customer, apart from normal script
injection  and  getting it popped up.

Consider that u found an XSS issue in a field and your script is
running,

  1. Now what are the further steps for exploiting XSS completely????
  2. How an attacker can really make  use of  it?
  3. How to Compromise ??
  4. What are the real world scenarios can be used

Looking for few good inputs/imlementations/expolits/BooKs ..............

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,
White hat
