Hi everyone, I recently wrote a short paper on advanced methods of cross site scripting exploitation (against POST variables and secure areas which require authentication every session). In coming up with the methods of exploitation I realized they could be generalized to a somewhat different type of attack I dubbed client automation. This is basically just the forcing of a client to submit a form without their knowledge and change settings, which exploits the trust in many web based scripts that a user who submits a form is in fact submitting the form.
