Use JavaScript Injections

JavaScript injection is a process by which we can insert and use our own JavaScript code in a page, either by entering the code into the address bar, or by finding an XSS vulnerability in a website. Note that the changes can only be seen by you and are not permanent. This is because JavaScript is a "client-side" language.

Using JavaScript Injections

  1. You must enter the code in the URL address bar of the window. Try these injections:
    • Note - If you use firefox, you will have to use another way, like apple-shift-k on a mac
    • javascript:alert("Hello!");
    • To bring up an alert box saying "Hello!":
  2. javascript:alert("Hello"); alert("World");
    • To bring up 2 alert boxes, the one in the front will say "Hello" and once you click OK, the one saying "World" will appear:
  3. javascript:alert(document.forms[0].to.value="something")
    • To change the value of form [0] to something:
  4. javascript:void(document.bgColor="blue")
    • To Change a Web Page Background with HTML to blue. You can put any other color in the place of blue to change it to a different color:
  5. javascript:alert("The actual url is:\t\t" + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + "\nThe address URL is:\t\t" + location.href + "\n" + "\nIf the server names do not match, this may be a spoof.");
    • To see the real server name of the site you are looking at. You should use it if you think that you are viewing a spoofed website, or anytime just to make sure:
  6. javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);
    • To make pictures fly around. Make sure to find a site like Google Images so there are more pictures!(If you press the refresh button, it goes really fast! might only work with MAC):
  7. javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.cos(R*x1+i*x1+x2)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);
    • To spin circle of pictures. It funnels the pictures in a snake-like motion:
  8. javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true';document.designMode='on';void0
    • To move things around on the webpage:

Tips

  • If you're using a browser with an address bar that doubles as a search bar (e.g., Google Chrome), make sure that after you type in the JavaScript code, you select your address bar for processing the code, not the search function.

  • The changes are not permanent. It's a static change that won't affect any server information.
  • Only you can see the changes.
  • You may only change the background of pages that do not already have a CSS background.
