Tamper Data

[Gene Honnette]

NOTEThere is a new version of this extension called Tamper DEV - install at Tamper Chrome will continue to work but it's suggested you move to tamper.dev for a better experience.To use it, refresh the website and look at the developer tools (left-click -> inspect element). Tamper Chrome will appear in a new tab. See the tutorial here: Chrome allows you to monitor requests sent by your browser and the responses. You can also modify requests as they go out, and to a limited extent modify the responses (headers, css, javascript or XMLHttpRequest responseText).See what websites are sending in the background, modify submissions, switch out scripts, alter AJAX responses, Tamper Chrome puts the power of your browser back in your hands.Tamper Chrome will prompt you to install its companion application when you first run it.If you need help go to: !forum/tamper-chrome-help

Pop will get open for tamper data click on start tamper which starts capturing the ongoing request as we know that the username and password typed in the fields go through POST method. Now After that click on the Login button to send the data through the POST method.

Before clicking Go; again start tamper data to change the field values. After that, we can see the post values and now modify it to change the username of any person.

Frequently when I work on AJAX applications, I'll pass around parameters via POST. Certain parts of the application might send the same number of parameters or the same set of data, but depending on a custom parameter I pass, it may do something completely different (such as delete instead of insert or update). When sending data, I'll usually do something like this:

On another part of the application, I might have similar code but instead setting the action property to deny or something application specific that will instead trigger code to delete or move data on the server side.

I've heard about tools that let you modify POST requests and the data associated with them, but I've only used one such tool called Tamper Data for Firefox. I know the chances of someone modifying the data of a POST request is slim and even slimmer for them to change a key property to make the application do something different on the backend (such as changing action: "complete" to action: "deny"), but I'm sure it happens in day to day attacks on web applications. Can anyone suggest some good ways to avoid this kind of tampering? I've thought of a few ways that consist of checking if the action is wrong for the event being triggered and validating that along with everything else, but I can see that being an extra 100 lines of code for each part of the application that needs to have these kinds of requests protected.

You need to authorize clients making the AJAX call just like you would with normal requests. As long as the user has the rights to do what he is trying to do, there should be no problem.You should also pass along an authentication token that you store in the users session, to protect against CSRF.

Your server can't trust anything it receives from the client. You can start establishing trust using sessions and authentication (make sure the user is who she says she is), SSL/TLS (prevent tampering from the network) and XSRF protection (make sure the action was carried out from html that you generated) as well as care to prevent XSS injection (make sure you control the way your html is generated). All these things can be handled by a server-side framework of good quality, but there are still many ways to mess up. So you should probably take steps to make sure the user can't do anything overly destructive for either party.

I went to the tools menu of my firefox and choose tamper data. I also clicked on the Start Tamper option, and then loaded up my favorite test website, the free online diary site, JEMDiary. Right away, I was prompted with a message box - tamper the data, submit it, or abort.

This shows each of the requests, their header results and accepts, the order, the time, OH MY!! So much info! But it gets better. Your right click menu brings in the options to view the source of the item, view them in your browser (from the cache), replay the request, and more. Additionally, you can graph one item or all items (like the other plugins).

I am able to tamper post request parameter with Tamper Data in firefox i.e when i make post request and i get the popup in firefox to change POST request parameters but in caseof GET request, i get the popup but there is no way to change the request parameter.

So question is Can't we change the request parameter thru Tamper Data/Fiddler?(Yes i agreewe can change it from browser address bar but that will be applicable once first request has been firect but i want to tamper some data in the very first Get Request. So i want to change GET request paramater with Tamer Data/Fiddler.Is it possible?)

You can't do that using Tamper-Data. You could use a more advanced standalone-tool, like Web Scarab (Archived page by Wayback Machine / Source Code at SourceForge) which will let you intercept and edit all portions of your web-requests.

You can easily use Fiddler to tamper with any aspect of a request or response. You can do this using FiddlerScript or manually using breakpoints. To change traffic manually using breakpoints, watch this tutorial video: =8bo5kXMAcV0&list=PLvmaC-XMqeBbw72l2G7FG7CntDTErjbHc

Using the firefox extension tamper data (for modifing http requests that firefox makes) how do I insert a null character into a post field? I can enter normal characters, but binary characters in it are not urlencoded and are shown as is, so how do I enter the null character into a field? If you know of a firefox extension like tamper data that I can do this or a way to do this using tamper data please post.

Is there any way to parse HTTP request data in wireshark? For example, can I expose the request parameters upon an HTTP GET request (being sent by my machine), so that I don't need to read the (sometimes) truncated URL and find them by myself?

I was using Tamper Data and Firebug, on my Firefox, to analyse these requests, but they're not as reliable as a stand-alone tool for monitoring my network interface, but wireshark keeps data too raw concerning HTTP flow.

If you're looking for a realtime HTTP monitor (as you're mooting against pcapr answer), then would just redirecting requests through a proxy do the job (e.g., with Apache or Squid)? Okay, it's not a passive monitor in this instance (unlike wireshark [et al]), but would get you the URLs. Then you should be able to extract the query string from access logs.

Is it possible that Wireshark can't see things that Tamper Data can? I'm experimenting with it and it appears that Wireshark doesn't see GET requests that Tamper Data see and I'm really interested in knowing why.

You may get better answers to this kind of question on webmasters.stackexchange.com and/or stackoverflow.com as tools such as this are normally only used for web development, whereas WireShark is designed for network engineers.

"Attempt To Tamper Data On This PC" is a fake error message delivered by a malicious website. Users often visit this website without their consent - they are redirected by potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Research shows that PUPs often infiltrate systems without permission.

"Attempt To Tamper Data On This PC" states that all data stored on the computer is at risk and, therefore, users must immediately contact 'technical support' via the telephone number ("+1-844-612-7496") provided. Victims then supposedly receive help in resolving the issue. As mentioned, however, this error message is fake.

Cyber criminals attempt to generate revenue by scaring and tricking victims them into calling and paying for services that are not required. You can remove this error simply by closing the web browser. An identical pop-up is displayed by a malicious website that delivers another fake error called You Have A ZEUS Virus.

Be aware that potentially unwanted programs employ a "virtual layer" to generate banner, coupon, pop-up, and other similar advertisements. The virtual layer is a tool that enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. The displayed ads usually conceal underlying content of visited websites, significantly diminishing the Internet browsing experience.

In addition, some lead to malicious websites and even accidental clicks can result in high-risk adware or malware infections. Furthermore, potentially unwanted programs continually gather IP addresses, URLs visited, search queries, geo-locations, and other similar information that might contain personal details.

This information is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private details. Thus, data tracking can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. All potentially unwanted programs must be uninstalled immediately.

There are dozens of fake error messages similar to "Attempt To Tamper Data On This PC" including Your Hard Drive Will Be Deleted, Microsoft Warning Alert, and Don't Restart Your Computer - these are just some examples from many. As with "Attempt To Tamper Data On This PC", these errors also claim that the system is infected or damaged in certain ways.

By offering various 'useful features', they attempt to give the impression of legitimacy, however, rather than providing any value for regular users, PUPs cause unwanted redirects, collect various user/system information, and deliver intrusive online advertisements.

Criminals proliferate potentially unwanted programs by employing a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of third party apps with regular software/apps. Developers hide all bundled programs within the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings of the download/installation processes. Skipping this section often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue applications.
