Associating an identity with HTTP requests – a Burp extension
This is a tool that I have wanted to build for at least 5 years. Checking my archives, the earliest reference I can find is almost exactly 5 years ago, and I’ve been thinking about it for longer, I’m sure. Finally it has made it out of my head, and into the real world! Be free! Be free! So, what does it do, and how does it do it? The…
Revisting XXE and abusing protocols
Recently a security researcher reported a bug in Facebook that could potentially allow Remote Code Execution (RCE). His writeup of the incident is available here if you are interested. The thing that caught my attention about his writeup was not the fact that he had pwned Facebook or earned $33,500 doing it, but the fact that he used OpenID to accomplish this. After having a quick look at the output…
Vanilla SQL Injection is oh-so-90’s…wait…is it? (Jackin the K)
aka.. Someone put the hurtski on Kaspersky.. The Twitters (via XSSniper and others) and the Interwebs were ablaze with news on a SQL Injection vulnerability that was exploited on AV vendor Kaspersky’s site. Detail of the attack can be found here. It’s interesting that SQL Injection (though as old as the proverbial hills) is still such a major issue. In fact, I have it on good authority that the bulk of PCI-related compromises…
Applescript for HTTP BruteForcing..
A long time ago i blogged on the joys of using VBS to automate bruteforcing [1|2]when one didnt want to mess about duplicating an applications functionality at the protocol level.. Yesterday i had need to brute-force a web application which tried hard to be difficult and annoying.. Normally i would have used crowbar, Suru or a ugly mangled Python script, but the application was strangely difficult.. i.e. the login process…

We met him after our Vegas talk, but im not really sure how his attack differs from our published one.. my on-list response: -snip- From: haroon meer To: bugtraq@cgisecurity.net Cc: websecurity@webappsec.org Subject: Re: [WEB SECURITY] Performing Distributed Brute Forcing of CSRF vulnerable login pages Hi Robert.. Thanks for the kind words on the talk.. If…
BotNets not just for SPAM any more
The Symantec Security blog has an article titled “Botnets: not just for spamming anymore“. Interestingly we are now starting to see the use of botnets for more than just simple spamming (or simpler DoS attacks). Its pretty cool (in a twisted sort of way), because this is one of those things we called out a long time ago, predicting that botnets were way under-used as a form of cheap distributed…
Re: Jeremiah Grossmans “How to find your websites”
Jeremiah from WhiteHatSec has just written a quick piece on how to find your websites. Now Footprinting is obviously dear to our hearts, with 3 Blackhat talks on it (or applications of it) (“Automation – Deus ex Machina or Rube Goldberg Machine?“, “Putting The Tea Back Into CyberTerrorism“, “The Role of Non Obvious Relationships in the Foot Printing Process“), a commercial tool almost dedicated to it, and a full blown…
