Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 330 discussion

The main difference between XSS and CSRF can be summarized as follows: XSS involves injecting and executing malicious scripts in a victim's browser when interacting with a compromised website, while CSRF tricks the victim's browser into performing unwanted actions on a target website where the victim is authenticated. XSS exploits the vulnerability in the website's input validation and output encoding, while CSRF exploits the trust between the user's browser and the target website. XSS impacts the user's browser, while CSRF impacts the target website and its users.

Get command is Powershell = CSRF use Powershell XSS =Javascript

The answer is XSS because they injected malicious scripts on the webside, and they even add "evilsite" to make it more clear, another things you need to know: CRSF: It makes the victim preform unwanted actions, like if you are in your bank acct you get an emailn you clic on the link on your email and a transaction is preform under you name for $100, and SQL we can identify that one for 1 = 1, they atack the date base and introduce code malicious code

Log snippet with alert = XSS

Answer is D.

The clue lies in the URL parameters id=1, id=2, and id=3 appended to the website address. This pattern often indicates that the attacker is trying to manipulate the SQL query by injecting SQL code into the parameter values to gain unauthorized access to the database or perform other malicious actions. Therefore, the correct answer is: B. SQLi

The "evilsite.com" is what gives it. its C

it seems the attacker is trying to inject a script into a web server, and using different script in each try. more like a XSS attack

(%cscript%3eatert%28%271%27%29%3script%3e and %27 http%3a%2f%2fwww.evilsite.com%2fupdater.php%27%29%3script%3e) indicates an attempt to execute malicious scripts within the profile.php page. This is a common technique used in XSS attacks to execute arbitrary code or redirect users to malicious websites

XSS seems to be the go here. XSRF requires the payload to be sent to a user in order to get them to click/process a malicious link but there is no such interaction in this case.

XSS vs CSRF - What Is The Difference? Now that the basic understanding of these two vulnerabilities is clear, let’s talk about the differences that these two shares: XSS is a two-way attack while CSRF is only one-way. In XSS, threat actors can execute a code, receive a response, and forward it to the desired destination whereas CSRF allows attackers only to raise a corrupted HTTP request. XSS is JavaScript-based while CSRF is HTTP-based. The success of an XSS attack isn’t based on the session activation. Corrupted payloads are delivered whenever the user accesses the website. CSRF demands an active session be completed. The scope of CSRF attacks is limited. At max, it leads to accessing corrupted websites or clicking on malicious links. The reach of XSS is far-flung and permits attackers to do anything they want. About XSS vs CSRF attacks, one key point is the way they both store the trouble-causing code. The code is stored on the targeted website in an XSS attack while it’s stored on the 3rd party site for carrying out a CSRF attack.

The attacker in the provided log lines is attempting to exploit a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. XSS involves injecting malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, typically through user input fields. In the log lines, the attacker is attempting to inject a script by modifying the "id" parameter in the URL, specifically within the "profile.php" page. The injected script appears to be an alert statement encoded using URL encoding.

What is the difference between XSS and CSRF? Cross-site scripting (or XSS) allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the browser of a victim user. Cross-site request forgery (or CSRF) allows an attacker to induce a victim user to perform actions that they do not intend to.

Looks like D. XSS https://portswigger.net/web-security/cross-site-scripting

According to chat GPT: The logs show an attempt to exploit an XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability. The attacker injected a script into the request for the /profile.php?id= URL, and the server returned a 200 OK response with a large amount of data. XSS attacks involve injecting malicious scripts into web pages that are viewed by other users. These scripts can be used to steal sensitive data, such as session cookies or login credentials, or to perform other malicious actions on behalf of the user whose browser is running the script. In this case, the attacker appears to be attempting to execute a script that will trigger an alert message in the victim's browser, indicating that the XSS payload was successful.

believe it is XSS. It looks like it is trying to get or attach the download report from evilsite but looks like it is coming from the legit site. Let me know where I went wrong.
