Create a malware keylogger with JavaScript cross site scripting XSS attack

Cross Site Scripting (XSS): Understanding, Mitigation, and Prevention
Introduction:
This video presentation aims to provide an in-depth understanding of what XSS is, demonstrate the setup of two domains on a MAMP local host server, delve into the creation of a JavaScript keylogger, and shed light on the methods used to save keystrokes on a hacker server. Cross Site Scripting continues to appear on the OWASP top ten risks of software development.
Part 1: What is XSS?
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. The injected script can then execute in the context of the victim's browser, potentially stealing sensitive information, such as cookies, session tokens, or other user data. There are three primary types of XSS attacks: stored XSS, reflected XSS, and DOM-based XSS. Each of these attack vectors leverages the trust that a user's browser places in the content served by a web application.
Part 2: Setting Up Two Domains on a MAMP Local Host Server
Before delving into the specifics of exploiting XSS vulnerabilities, it's crucial to understand the environment in which these attacks can occur. The video will demonstrate the step-by-step process of setting up two domains on a MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) local host server. This setup allows for the emulation of a real-world web environment where applications interact with each other, making it an ideal testing ground for vulnerability assessments.
Part 3: Creating a JavaScript Keylogger
To illustrate the potential consequences of an XSS attack, the video will guide viewers through the creation of a simple JavaScript keylogger. This malicious script, once injected into a vulnerable web page, can silently capture keystrokes made by users and send them to a remote server controlled by the attacker. The tutorial will cover the basics of JavaScript coding, demonstrating how the keylogger can be embedded within a seemingly harmless web page.
Part 4: Saving Keystrokes on the Hacker Server
Once the malicious JavaScript keylogger has been successfully injected into a vulnerable web page, the next step is to understand how the captured keystrokes are transmitted to the attacker's server. The video will provide insights into the networking aspect of the attack, explaining how the keylogger communicates with the hacker-controlled server using various techniques such as AJAX requests or WebSocket connections. This section will emphasize the importance of encryption and security measures that can be employed by web applications to mitigate such attacks.
Mitigation and Prevention:
No discussion about XSS would be complete without addressing mitigation and prevention strategies. The video will explore best practices for developers, including input validation, output encoding, and the proper use of security libraries and frameworks. Additionally, the role of modern browser security features, such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and SameSite cookies, in thwarting XSS attacks will be highlighted.
Ethical Considerations:
It's crucial to emphasize the ethical aspects of this content. The video will stress that the provided information is solely intended for educational purposes. The creation and distribution of malicious software, including keyloggers, is illegal and unethical. Ethical hacking and security research involve responsible disclosure, obtaining proper authorization, and adhering to legal boundaries.
Conclusion:
Cross Site Scripting remains a significant threat to web applications and user data, making it imperative for developers and security professionals to comprehend its nuances. By understanding the anatomy of an XSS attack, learning about proper prevention measures, and fostering an ethical approach to security research, we can collectively contribute to a safer digital landscape. This video presentation equips viewers with the knowledge needed to better protect web applications and the sensitive information they handle.
Note: This description focuses on educating viewers about the concept of Cross Site Scripting, setting up a local host environment, and discussing the creation of a keylogger. It does not provide instructions or support for engaging in illegal or unethical activities. The emphasis is on ethical hacking, responsible disclosure, and cybersecurity awareness.

Thanks for another informative video Shad! 👍

[@shadsluiter]

thanks for watching.

[@daviddylag6854]

great contect, can't beleive it hasnt more view

[@shadsluiter]

Much appreciated!

[@luizcontes386]

[@shadsluiter]

Nice try.

[@hqcart1]

this is not going to work if someone on another PC posted something.

[@shadsluiter]

Why not?

[@hqcart1]

@@shadsluitertry it. open another tab and access the same URL, nothing will be logged.

[@Paraclete333]

He states that the script needs to be somehow persistent, and one way that is achieved is when the website shows you older comments so it will always load the script. In this example, the victim app does not keep track of previous comments, hence the script eventually goes away.
If you meant that this demo only worked because the keystrokes were recorded on the same PC where the hacker app was hosted, then that's just not true because the key logging is happening on the victim side while the hacker app just waits for POST requests.

This is phishing ..not keylogger
