Hackers exploit browser vulnerabilities to attack deep within
networks
networks
The Browser Hacker's Handbook gives a practical
understanding of hacking the everyday web browser and using it as a
beachhead to launch further attacks deep into corporate networks.
Written by a team of highly experienced computer security experts,
the handbook provides hands-on tutorials exploring a range of
current attack methods.
The web browser has become the most popular and widely used
computer "program" in the world. As the gateway to the Internet, it
is part of the storefront to any business that operates online, but
it is also one of the most vulnerable entry points of any system.
With attacks on the rise, companies are increasingly employing
browser-hardening techniques to protect the unique vulnerabilities
inherent in all currently used browsers. The Browser Hacker's
Handbook thoroughly covers complex security issues and explores
relevant topics such as:
- Bypassing the Same Origin Policy
- ARP spoofing, social engineering, and phishing to access
browsers - DNS tunneling, attacking web applications, and
proxying?all from the browser - Exploiting the browser and its ecosystem (plugins and
extensions) - Cross-origin attacks, including Inter-protocol Communication
and Exploitation
The Browser Hacker's Handbook is written with a
professional security engagement in mind. Leveraging browsers as
pivot points into a target's network should form an integral
component into any social engineering or red-team security
assessment. This handbook provides a complete methodology to
understand and structure your next browser penetration test.
