The Tiny Script That Could Take Over Your WebSite

Discover the hidden dangers of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), a notorious software vulnerability that has plagued web applications since the dawn of the internet. In this video, we dive deep into how attackers exploit XSS to inject malicious JavaScript and compromise websites. Learn the history of XSS and see a live demonstration to check if your site is vulnerable using a simple proof-of-concept payload. We explore the three main types of XSS:

Stored XSS: Malicious scripts permanently injected into sites, waiting for unsuspecting victims.
Reflected XSS: Unsanitized input reflected back to users, often hidden in clickable links.
DOM-based XSS: Vulnerabilities in front-end code that manipulate the DOM unsafely.
