Cross Site Scripting Anonymous Browser, Version 2.0 Earlier this year, the Cross-site Scripting Anonymous Browser ("XAB") was presented as a new perspective on how we could extend the functionality of browser technologies, form dynamic botnets for browsing, and create an unpronounceable acronym all at once. We continue the madness with the second incarnation of the XAB framework.
XAB hasn't really revolutionized attacks or defenses in its short lifespan, nor is it great at factoring primes. However, it has opened the minds of a few by demonstrating an interesting way to combine unlike ideas and creating a new animal all of it's own. Think of it as forced social networking, without ever really knowing whom you're talking to, or what they're saying.
We will provide a brief review of the technology, pour over the trials and tribulations of the enhancements and additions of the past 6 months, provide a live demonstration of the improvements and continue the conversation about the future of the framework.
