Connection Pool by Destination Example

Support HackTricks and get benefits!

In this exploit, @terjanq proposes yet another solution for the challenged mentioned in the following page:

{% content-ref url="connection-pool-by-destination-example.md" %} connection-pool-by-destination-example.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Let's see how this exploit work:

  • The attacker will inject a note with as many <img tags loading /js/purify.js as possible (more than 6 to block the origin).
  • Then, the attacker will remove the note with index 1.
  • Then, the attacker will [make the bot access the page with the reminding note] and will send a request to victim.com/js/purify.js that he will time.
    • If the time is bigger, the injection was in the note left, if the time is lower, the flag was in there.

{% hint style="info" %} Tbh, reading the script I missed some part where the attacker makes the bot load the page to trigger the img tags, I don't see anything like that in the code {% endhint %}
