The Anatomy of Cross Site Scripting

LogError writes "Many documents discuss the actual insertion of HTML into a vulnerable script, but stop short of explaining the full ramifications of what can be done with a successful XSS attack. While this is adequate for prevention, the exact impact of cross site scripting attacks has not been fully appreciated. This paper will explore those possibilities."

      I won't teach you to become a 1337 h4x0r, but I will gladly bend you over like the gay bitch that you are and make you accept the fact that you are a homosexual dork. If you ever ask another question like that again, you're going to get bitchslapped.

    Apple's OSX/Panther/Darwin are cannibalizing the Open Source software, pretending to be smarter and never giving anything back. At least MS never claimed anything like that.

    Your allusions of superiority try to make capitol
    of the principals of colloquial language, but
    in doing so they create a climactic change
    which I find frankly unseasoned.

  11. Matrix Revolutions Spoiler by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Trinity, Morpheus, and Link are onboard the Hammer. Morpheus and Trinity go to consult the Oracle to find out where Neo is. The Oracle explains why she has a new shell. She tells Morpheus and Trinity how to get Neo and sends Serph with them as a guide.

    Neo is trapped in a world that is between the real world and the matrix. He awakes to find himself looking at a little girl. The girl is there with her two parents (programs). Her father is the guy being escorted out the of restaurant in Reloaded when Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus go to met the Merovingian. He explains where Neo is, that he made a deal with the Merovingian for his daughter and that should the Merovingian find out that Neo is in the train station he would not release him and he would be there for a long time.

    Seraph, Morpheus and Trinity go looking for the Trainman. The Trainman works for the Merovingian and built the place where Neo is trapped. They find the Trainman located on a subway train, a chase ensues, gunfire, and the Trainman escapes by jumping in front of an incoming train. Seraph, Morpheus, and Trinity now have to go to Club Hell to get Neo back.

    The Trainman arrives to take the Father, his wife and his daughter. Neo tries to board the train, but the Trainman recognizes who he is. Neo tells him he is getting on the train one way or another. The Trainman in turn tells Neo that he has no power here and cannot leave. He punches Neo (sending him flying into the wall), then he orders the Father and his family on the train and leaves Neo stranded. Neo hops done onto the tracks and tries to run after the train only to find himself right back in the station again.

    Morpheus, Trinity and Seraph kill the bouncers at the club entrance, get in the elevator. Seraph explains that there are no guns allowed in Club Hell and that they would have to fight there way in. They exit the elevator firing at the gaurds at the counter. There are some awesome effects (trailer portions of people fighting upside down). It's like the fight scenes from the 1st Matrix, but 10x better. They enter the Club and spiral their way to the Merovingian and Persephone.

    The Merovingian sees Seraph, Trinity and Morpheus coming torards him. He agrees allow them safe passage if they drop thier guns. They capture Seraph, Trinity and Morpheus and bring them before the Merovingian and Persephone.

    There is the usual long babble from the Merovingian trying to figure out "why" they are here. The Merovingian tries to make a deal with Morpheus, Trinity and Seraph saying he will give them Neo if they bring him the eyes of the Oracle. Trinity has enuff and starts fighting, she catches a gun and points it at the Merovingian's head. Everyone pulls guns and it's a standoff. She tells the Merovingian that if he doesn't release Neo then she will kill him and everyone in the room will die. Persephone says that she will do it because she is in love. The Merovingian says love is an emotion that resembles insanity.

    Neo is trying to will his way out of the train station, he closes his eyes to concentrate and has a vision of three power lines... A train pulls into the station and Trinity gets off the train. They hug and depart. Neo says he has to see the Oracle before they leave. They take him to see the Oracle.

    The Oracle explains to Neo that Smith is the inverse of him now and has taken over much of the Matrix and the darkness will spread consuming them all. If the Matrix ends, the machines end and so do the humans. She explains his earlier vision of three lines and says to follow them to get to the machine city. She explains it must end tonight, or all will be lost.

    Neo is wakes up aboard the Hammer explains that he needs time. Morpheus and the Hammer crew go looking for the Logos and Niobe's crew. Bane wakes up. They question Bane about what happened in the attack, how he survived and why he is mutilating himself. He says he doesn't remember. The captain of the Hammer orders the medic to make him remember.
