About this blog

I'm a developer with over 10 years experience who wants to transition to infosec. This blog is an informal record of my experiments with OWASP's Mutillidae II, a web application exhibiting a multitude of deliberate vulnerabilities. I will also take Offensive Security's PWK training course and get the OSCP certificate

Subvert client-side validation

Turning client-side validation on in Mutillidae and trying a sqli results in:
First I tried turning Javacript off entirely, but that mangled the page.

Then I intercepted the page in Burp and just commented out the validation before it reached my browser.

Alternatively, just submit the form programmatically (e.g. curl, python, ...).  Or save the page and edit it...

Client-side validation seems pretty worthless for security purposes.
