For all those application testers out there that use PAROS Proxy who are as lazy as me....
I thought I would share a tip on how I set Paros to automatically remove hidden field tags in PAROS
(also usable on other proxies)
in tools, filter menu
set the http body response checkbox
and set the search pattern to be
type\s*=\s*["']?hidden["']?
no need to set the replace field
now browse a web page with hidden fields
I must admit I rely on the above so much that I am not sure if it misses any hidden tags
I suppose I could compare it with a find all 'hidden' words and compare body response....
My wish list for PAROS would be
- allow multiple filters per http section
- save the above filters so that I do not need to enter it every time I use PAROS
- manually set user agent rather than use PAROS drop down (google bot goes to places I can not) and it gets annoying setting the http request header filters as well
I would definitely like a RELIABLE way to convert html select statements to input statments - another regex along the lines of
this perl regex (probably useless on scripted select controls that many pages create on the fly)
/<select[^>]*?(name\s*=\s*["']?([^"'\s]+)["']?\s+).*?<\/select>/$2<input $1>/ims
TIA & Rgds
