XSS attack techniques explained by a mock hacking practitioner

Master XSS attacks in one lecture!
Learn systematically with security practitioners.

XSS, the King of Client-Side Attacks! 📖

XSS is a vulnerability that occurs when cross-site scripting occurs via client-side scripting . Ransomware infections, which have recently become a major issue, are also often distributed and infected through XSS.

Furthermore, as web attacks shift from the server-side to the client-side, vulnerabilities are increasingly being discovered in web applications. Consequently, the importance and interest in XSS attacks are on the rise.

What's special about this course! ✨
How is it different from other web hacking courses?

I can confidently say that there will never be another type of education like this!

Most web hacking training and books only cover the basic concepts of attacks.
However, this lecture will allow you to learn more systematically about basic concepts, attack principles, and most importantly, 'what process should be used to carry out the attack procedure' .

What you'll learn 📚

Section 1. Understanding XSS Attacks

Learn the basic concepts and principles of XSS attacks . We'll also examine what XSS attacks can do, how they're used in practice, and their limitations.

Section 2. Understanding JavaScript for XSS Attacks

To ensure a smooth XSS attack, we'll explore JavaScript, the programming language used in these attacks. Rather than delving into the specifics of JavaScript, we'll focus on the fundamental concepts behind XSS attacks.

Section 3. Detailed Analysis of Attack Techniques and Attack Principles

We will look at the concepts and principles of DOM-Based XSS, Reflected XSS, and Stored XSS, which are XSS attack techniques, and learn in detail about the differences that lead to the classification of these attack techniques.

After studying this section, you'll be able to accurately distinguish and judge the XSS attack techniques described above. This will be particularly helpful for those who struggle to distinguish between Dom-Based XSS and Reflected XSS attacks .

Section 4. Attack Detail Methodology

_{Please check the lecture for more details!}

This section is the core of this lecture, covering attack methodologies not found in existing books or training courses. To successfully launch an attack, you need to understand how to approach it and how to deploy it in specific situations and environments .

Plus, you'll learn some must-know tips when attacking.

Section 5. Various Bypass Techniques Based on Verification Logic

We'll explore various methods for bypassing XSS attacks based on their validation logic. While XSS attacks typically have numerous bypass techniques, this section will focus on techniques commonly used in practice.

Section 6. Understanding the Principles of Session Hijacking Attacks and Practicing Attacks

Let's examine session hijacking , a type of attack that can be perpetrated via XSS. We'll cover the concept, attack principles, and practical attack practice of session hijacking.

Section 7. Understanding the Principles of Keylogging Attacks and Practical Attack Practice

Let's examine keylogging , a type of attack that can be perpetrated via XSS. We'll explore the concept of keylogging, its principles, and practical attack practice.

Section 8. Precautions during practical diagnosis

In this section, we will look at several things to keep in mind when conducting practical diagnostics, which are also mistakes that many diagnosticians make when diagnosing vulnerabilities.

Section 9. Response Measures

_{Please check the lecture for more details!}

To be considered a true information security expert, you must know not only attacks but also countermeasures .

The final section explores secure coding practices and the use of security libraries to defend against XSS attacks. We also explore methods for defending against session hijacking attacks.

Expected Questions Q&A 💬

Q. Is there anything I should know before taking the course?

Knowledge of web fundamentals is helpful. I recommend taking the following lectures first:

Web Technology Fundamentals You Must Know
Essential knowledge on HTTP, WWW, cookies/sessions, etc. all at once.

Q. What is the difference between the XSS attack content covered in the "Web Hacking, Security, and Secure Coding: Essential Knowledge for Web Developers and Information Security Beginners" course and this course?

While the lecture you mentioned also covers XSS-related topics, you'll learn at a level comparable to what's covered in existing training or books. This course will delve into the methodology and processes for diagnosing attacks.
