MOBILE VERSION UNDER CONSTRUCTION. But you can still post! might want to Zoom in/out
Thanks! Hopefully ill figure this out. I have two days left.
watch the last couple of videos in the active directory section of the course. watch the case studies.
Can I get a hint? Im in.. looked through all files.
After detection of DOM-based/reflected XSS, the most important thing is executing the payload, which is quite different in the real world. We mostly need to create a customized payload for every case. For crafting the XSS payload, "brute logic" categorized it into 7 main cases, which is quite important to know while executing the XSS payload.

That's a fantastic insight! Many beginners overlook the difference between View Source and Inspect Element, but understanding it is crucial for finding DOM-based XSS. Your explanation is clear and to the point—definitely the kind of tip that can level up someone's XSS testing game! Looking forward to your video; it sounds like it'll be super valuable!
Here's something I didn’t realize until recently while studying DOM-based vs. reflected XSS: The HTML you see when you right-click and Inspect Element is not the same as what you see in View Page Source. View Source shows the original HTML from the server. Inspect Element shows the live DOM after JavaScript has executed. This difference is huge when testing for XSS vulnerabilities. For example, with Reflected XSS, you might see the payload in View Source, but with DOM-based XSS, it’ll only appear in the DOM via Inspect Element. will make a video on this.
yes, so I strongly recommend the Portswigger labs because they always work! They are burp suite labs basically. There are about 300 of them. Some of them take a few minutes, some longer, some a few hours. If you notice, there are usually youtube walkthrouhgs on the bottom. One guy, I won't say his name, is so dry haha. All he does is say the exact solution that is already given by portswigger. Instead, look out for Z3nSh3ll videos, which would be linked right under. Not every lab has a Z3nSh3ll video. But a lot of the important ones do. For instance, just hit the XSS labs, there are like 30 of them. Just go one after the other, and Z3nSh3ll will explain it to you beautifully. He really talks you through it. The logic behind all the attacks, and how to conduct similar attacks it's the best.
But it at least helps to build your skills bro. At the end of the day it all comes to that right. CS50, PortSwigger and Z3nSh3ll uh! Good to know.
