Bài Hướng Dẫn Mutillidae : Lesson 16 - Persistent Covert Cross Site Scripting Injection with Metasploit #3

{ Persistent Covert Cross Site Scripting Injection with Metasploit #3 }

---

Section 0. Background Information

• What is Mutillidae?
  • OWASP Mutillidae II is a free, open source, deliberately vulnerable web-application providing a target for web-security enthusiast.
• What is Metasploit?
  • The Metasploit Framework is a open source penetration tool used for developing and executing exploit code against a remote target machine it, Metasploit frame work has the world's largest database of public, tested exploits. In simple words, Metasploit can be used to test the Vulnerability of computer systems in order to protect them and on the other hand it can also be used to break into remote systems.
   
• What is the MS10-018 Exploit?
  • Use-after-free vulnerability in the Peer Objects component (aka iepeers.dll) in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 6 SP1, and 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving access to an invalid pointer after the deletion of an object, as exploited in the wild in March 2010, aka "Uninitialized Memory Corruption Vulnerability."
  • http://cvedetails.com/cve/2010-0806
• What is a Persistent Cross Site Scripting Injection?
  • The persistent XSS vulnerability is a more devastating variant because the injection is actually permanently stored in the blog, message board, etc.
  • Imagine if a sensitive website had a poor designer did not test for injections.  A malicious person could simply put in a hidden cookie harvester script and sit back and watch there logs for SESSION cookies.
   
• Pre-Requisite Lab
  1. Mutillidae: Lesson 1: How to Install Mutillidae in Fedora
     • Note: Remote database access has been turned on to provide an additional vulnerability.
  2. BackTrack: Lesson 1: Installing BackTrack 5
     • Note: This is not absolutely necessary, but if you are a computer security student or professional, you should have a BackTrack VM.
  3. BackTrack: Lesson 9: How To Install Firebug
     • Note: Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
• Lab Notes
  • In this lab we will do the following:
    1. Due to a purposeful bug in the add-to-your-blog.php code, we will use a Persistent Cross Site Scripting Techniques to insert a Metasploit weblink that attacks IE6, IE7 on Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista.
    2. In the blog, we will insert the Metasploit link as a persistent XSS injection.
    3. We will demonstrate this XSS Injection, when a Windows XP-SP2 machine (running Internet Explorer 6) views the blog with the XSS injection.
    4. We will turn on Key Stroke Recorder.
    5. We will view the Key Stroke Recorder results.
