Customer order e-mails aren’t being sent out, and the thing’s chugging under a big load...” Rob e-mailed the development team reminding them not to send marketing e-mails from the gobi web server.... “Customer service is worried about some issue with tons of disputed false orders....” Rob noticed a suspicious pattern with the “false” orders: they were all being delivered to the same P.O. box...He decided to investigate the access logs. An external JavaScript file being referenced seemed especially strange, so he tested to see if he could access it himself.... The attacker was manipulating the link parameter of the login.pl application. Rob needed to see the server side script that generated the login.pl page to determine the purpose.... The Solution: After reviewing the log files included in the challenge, propose your assessment: What is the significance of the attacker’s JavaScript file? What was an early clue that Rob missed that might have alerted him to something being amiss? What are some different ways the attacker could have delivered the payload? Who is this attack ultimately targeted against? Then, turn to the experts' answers to find out what really happened.
