Abstract

This paper considers exploiting browsers for attacking Web servers. We demonstrate the generation of HTTP traffic to third-party domains without the user’s knowledge, that can be used e.g. for Denial of Service attacks.

Keywords: Denial of Service Browser security Web security HTML5 security
