Web-servers & Application Hacking

This document discusses vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. It defines them as two types of vulnerability testing that search for known vulnerabilities and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, respectively. Vulnerability assessment uses automated tools to detect known issues, while penetration testing employs hacking techniques to demonstrate how deeply vulnerabilities could be exploited like an actual attacker. Both are important security practices for identifying weaknesses and reducing risks, but require different skills and have different strengths, weaknesses, frequencies, and report outputs. Reasons for vulnerabilities include insecure coding, limited testing, and misconfigurations. The document outlines common vulnerability and attack types as well as how vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are typically conducted.

This presentation describes penetration testing with a Who, What, Where, When, and How approach. In the presentation, you may discover the common pitfalls of a bad penetration test and you could identify a better one. You should be able to recognize and differentiate both looking at the methods (attitude) and result.

An XSS attack is a type of vulnerability that allows malicious scripts to be injected into web pages viewed by other users. There are three main types: reflected XSS occurs when a link containing malicious code is clicked; stored XSS injects code directly into a vulnerable website, potentially affecting many users; DOM-based XSS involves injecting code into a website hosted on a user's local system, allowing the attacker to access that user's browser privileges. The document provides examples of how XSS attacks work and can be used to hijack accounts, insert hostile content, steal cookies, and redirect users.

Web application attacks can take many forms, including cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, parameter tampering, command injection, session management issues, cookie poisoning, directory traversal, cross-site request forgery, and buffer overflows. XSS is a vulnerability that allows malicious JavaScript code to be injected and run in a user's browser, potentially accessing data. SQL injection involves inserting SQL commands into a database query to gain unauthorized access. Parameter tampering modifies URL parameters to change expected behavior.

This document provides an overview of scanning techniques used in ethical hacking. It defines scanning as gathering information about IP addresses, operating systems, services, and architectures of target systems. The document outlines common scanning types like port scanning, network scanning, and vulnerability scanning. It also describes popular scanning tools like Nmap and Hping2, and scanning methods like ping sweeps, SYN stealth scans, and Xmas scans. The goal of scanning is to detect live systems, open ports, operating systems, and services to inform later stages of hacking like banner grabbing, vulnerability assessment, and network mapping.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a vulnerability that allows malicious users to insert client-side code into web pages that is then executed by a user's browser. This code can steal cookies, access private information, perform actions on the user's behalf, and redirect them to malicious websites. XSS works by having the server display input containing malicious JavaScript from a request. There are different types of XSS attacks, including non-persistent, persistent, and DOM-based attacks. Prevention methods include validating, sanitizing, and escaping all user input on the server-side and client-side. Web vulnerability scanners like Burp Suite can help test for XSS and other vulnerabilities.

This document contains a list of over 150 potential SQL injection dorks targeting parameters with "id=" in the URL. The dorks target content management systems and databases on websites. It also contains generic dorks searching for SQL warning messages.

The document discusses content sniffing vulnerabilities in web browsers. It explains that browsers try to determine the true content type of a file, even if the server provides the wrong content type header. This allows an attacker to craft a file, like an image, that is also valid HTML containing JavaScript. When the browser content sniffs the file and treats it as HTML, the JavaScript will execute in the context of the vulnerable website. The document provides examples of how this can be used to steal cookies from users and perform cross-site scripting attacks. It recommends server and browser fixes like ensuring correct content type headers and adding headers to disable content sniffing.

Web application security is an important topic gaining more attention. Sensitive data needs protection not only on servers but also when traveling over networks. Common web application vulnerabilities include cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery. Developers should implement measures like encryption, limiting file access and uploads, hiding errors, and using secure sessions to authenticate users. Security requires ongoing consideration to prevent network attacks, unauthorized access, and data theft.

The document discusses remote file inclusion (RFI) and local file inclusion (LFI) attacks and defenses. It provides examples of vulnerable code that allows RFI/LFI exploits by directly using unsanitized user input. It then demonstrates how to conduct RFI/LFI attacks to view files or execute commands on the server. Finally, it recommends sanitizing user input with functions like strip_tags(), htmlspecialchars(), and providing one's own cleaning function to prevent RFI/LFI exploits.

Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to include files from a web server by manipulating input that is used to include files. For example, a script that includes files based on a page parameter, like script.php?page=index.html, could be exploited by changing the page parameter to try and include files like ../../../../etc/passwd. Successful exploitation can reveal sensitive information like the server's password file. LFI vulnerabilities are common and can often be exploited through PHP wrappers like php://input or php://filter to include files or execute system commands on the server.

Just as a good chess player thinks five moves ahead, a great penetration tester should be able to visualize their attack in order to compromise high-value targets. This presentation will explore how a penetration tester can learn to leverage attack chaining for maximum impact. A penetration test is supposed to be a simulation of a real-world attack. Real-world attackers do not use expensive automated tools or a checklist. Nor do they use a single technique or exploit to compromise a target. More commonly they combine several techniques, vulnerabilities, and exploits to create a “chained” attack that achieves a malicious goal. Chained attacks are far more complex and far more difficult to defend against. We want to explore how application vulnerabilities relate to one another and build a mind map that guides penetration testers through various attack scenarios. Prepare to be blown away on this roller coaster ride with real-world examples of massive compromises. If you are not a thrill seeker, this presentation may leave you a bit queasy.

There are different types of SQL injections, including union-based, error-based, and blind SQL injections. Authentication can also be bypassed through SQL injection by making logical conditions like 1=1 or ""="" always true. The document provides examples of SQL injection payloads and demo websites to practice SQL injection techniques.

OS command injection vulnerabilities occur when user input is not sanitized before being passed to a shell command interpreter. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands that will be executed by the server, potentially compromising the server or application data. Command injection vulnerabilities are serious because they may enable attackers to use the server as a platform for launching attacks against other systems. Commix is an open source tool that can detect and exploit command injection vulnerabilities.

A vulnerability assessment identifies vulnerabilities in systems and networks to understand threats and risks. Penetration testing simulates cyber attacks to detect exploitable vulnerabilities. There are three types of penetration testing: black box with no system info; white box with full system info; and grey box with some system info. Common vulnerabilities include SQL injection, XSS, weak authentication, insecure storage, and unvalidated redirects. Tools like Nexpose, QualysGuard, and OpenVAS can automate vulnerability assessments.

Penetration testing involves evaluating systems or networks using malicious techniques to identify security vulnerabilities. It is done by exploiting vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Common vulnerabilities arise from design errors, poor configuration, and human error. Penetration testing is conducted to secure government data transfers, protect brands, and find vulnerabilities in applications, operating systems, databases, and network equipment. Metasploit is an open-source framework used for hacking applications and operating systems that contains exploits, payloads, and modules. Msfconsole is an interface used to launch attacks and create listeners in Metasploit.

Hacking involves exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems or networks to gain unauthorized access. There are different types of hackers, including white hat hackers who perform ethical hacking to test security, black hat hackers who perform hacking with malicious intent, and grey hat hackers who may sometimes hack ethically and sometimes not. Ethical hacking involves testing one's own systems for vulnerabilities without causing harm. Vulnerability assessments and penetration tests are common ethical hacking techniques that involve scanning for vulnerabilities and attempting to exploit them in a controlled way. Popular tools used for ethical hacking include Kali Linux, Nmap, Metasploit, and John the Ripper.

Directory traversal, also known as path traversal, allows attackers to access files and directories outside of the web server's designated root folder. This can lead to attacks like file inclusion, where malicious code is executed on the server, and source code disclosure, where sensitive application code is revealed. Local file inclusion allows attackers to include files from the local web server, while remote file inclusion includes files from external websites, potentially allowing remote code execution on the vulnerable server.

This document provides an introduction to hacking and security, defining key terms. It explains that hacking involves exploiting vulnerabilities to achieve unauthorized access. Hackers are classified as white hats (ethical), black hats (crackers), or grey hats.
