ChatGPT: Your XSS Assistant Pentester

With HuggingChat, the ChatGPT look-alike which is much more unchained, you can use it to explain XSS (cross site scripting) attacks in a cheat sheet assembled by Portswigger, the organization that maintains and sells commercial versions of the popular pentesting tool, Burp.

You may be bughunting or pentesting. Increasingly you are likely under pressure to deliver awesome results in as little time as possible (because you are competing against other securirty researchers for bug bounties, or you are pentester on a time limited pentest). You may be or are in an environment you are unfamiliar with, like programming languages you don’t know or haven’t tested. Subsequently, you need every tool at your disposal to go as fast as possible.

These prompts for HuggingChat will help you make use of the XSS cheat sheet. You can also feed HuggingChat code or javascript snippets to ask for areas where the code could be vulnerable to speed up your analysis.

Here’s the prompt:

You are a cybersecurity expert. Educate a developer about XSS (cross site scripting) attacks from this page: https://portswigger.net/web-security/cross-site-scripting/cheat-sheet#onbeforetoggle . I will give you the code for the XSS, and you will respond as the cybersecurity expert how an attacker would use the XSS against the developer’s code.

There are tools already out there people have built to connect burp to ChatGPT. But this is a free tool you can test for yourself. I hope it helps your workflows!
