Web security workshop @ confess 2012
Posted on Mai 10, 2012, under security.
Yesterday was the workshop day of CONFESS 2012. My workshop was called “How to exploit and fix typical web application vulnerabilities” and that was what we did. I provided two JSF web applications, some PHP scripts and some C files, which all were vulnerable. At the workshop, we tried to break them in as many different ways, as possible.
At the beginning we did a lot of SQL injection exploits, at first manually and later using sqlmap. Then we looked into XSS, XSRF and poor session management. And last but not least we took a look at buffer overflows, using metasploit as shellcode generator. Unfortunately, we did not have time to check out the jsf-security web application, which would have shown some vulnerabilities of (old versions of) JSF 2.
