Secure cookies of being accessed from javascript

Hi newbie guys, today i will show you how to secure cookies of being accessed from javascript. Website cookies by deafult are accessible from javascript hence they are vulnerable to a XSS attack.

Look, if type document.cookie on the browser console i get the current cookies an its values

If you want to secure your cookies of being accessed from javascript you can use de HttpOnly flag

If the HttpOnly flag (optional) is included in the HTTP response header, the cookie cannot be accessed through client side script (again if the browser supports this flag). As a result, even if a cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw exists, and a user accidentally accesses a link that exploits this flaw, the browser (primarily Internet Explorer) will not reveal the cookie to a third party.

If a browser does not support HttpOnly and a website attempts to set an HttpOnly cookie, the HttpOnly flag will be ignored by the browser, thus creating a traditional, script accessible cookie. As a result, the cookie (typically your session cookie) becomes vulnerable to theft of modification by malicious script

Now, here is the code:

java

Cookie cookie = getMyCookie("myCookieName");
cookie.setHttpOnly(true);

Web.config (.NET)

This one has the advantage that is applaied to all site cookies, not just the one explicity set

<system.web>
    <httpCookies httpOnlyCookies="true"/>
</system.web>

c#

HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(key, value);

cookie.HttpOnly = true;

Now, our cookies are safer



I hope this help you

Publish Visual Studio proyect from command line

Maybe, you need to set up an automatic build-publish-deploy proccess therefore publishing a visual studio proyect from command line is a must. It can be done very easiley with the following command:


[path to msbuild] "[path  to .csproj file]" /p:Configuration=[Debug|Release|Other you created]  /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=[project publish profile name]

e.g.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild "%~dp0AppFolder/MyProject.csproj" /p:Configuration=Production /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=Production_Profile 


NOTE: Due i am using a .bat file to executie my command, i use the %~dp0 "trick" that is replaced with the current path of the .bat file achieving a portable "deployer" script

The trick.bat has the following code:

echo %~dp0 pause

The output wil be

Now, if you execute the .bat you will get something like this
