Mini Password Buffer Overflow Tut

Password Form Buffer Overflows

• In this Lesson we will be learning how to do a Login/Password Form Buffer Overflow. This is a very basic version of a Buffer Overflow but just as effective. Basically what is happening here is that Password Forms usually have a limit on the number of Characters they are aloud input, but we will bypass this limit overloading the login and getting access to the Server!

• To do this we will need a tool call WebDeveloper for Firefox, which you can download here

• This is a very simple Hack so it only works on some Basic Authentication Logins, but its good know for the future if you find any!   So on firefox Go Tools>Web Developer>Forms>Remove Maximum Lengths Now type in a massively long code eg "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and so on, and it should come up with an error page either showing the encrypted passwords, or clear text passwords on the server! 

Congratulations now you know a simple Form Buffer Overflow!
