Keylogging Demonstration

Keyloggers record every keystroke you make. Hackers use them to steal passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information. This simulation shows how easily your typing can be captured.

Interactive Demo

Keylogger Output

Keylogger inactive. Press "Start Keylogger" to begin monitoring.

How Keyloggers Work

Technical Overview

Keyloggers can be:

  • Hardware devices attached to keyboards
  • Software installed through malware
  • Browser-based scripts injected into websites

Attacker's Perspective

Hackers deploy keyloggers to:

  • Capture login credentials
  • Steal financial information
  • Monitor communications
  • Gather intelligence

Protection Strategies

  • Use antivirus with keylogger detection
  • Employ on-screen keyboards for sensitive input
  • Regularly check for hardware tampering
  • Use browser extensions that block malicious scripts
  • Enable two-factor authentication everywhere

Phishing Demonstration

Phishing attacks trick users into revealing sensitive information by impersonating legitimate websites. This simulation shows how convincing fake login pages can capture your credentials.

Phishing Capture Output

Phishing monitor inactive. Press "Start Monitoring" to begin capturing credentials.

How Phishing Works

Attack Vectors

Phishing attacks commonly occur through:

  • Deceptive emails pretending to be from legitimate companies
  • Fake websites mimicking trusted brands
  • SMS messages (smishing) with urgent requests
  • Social media messages directing to malicious sites

Attacker's Perspective

Cybercriminals use phishing to:

  • Steal login credentials for financial accounts
  • Capture credit card information
  • Install malware on victims' devices
  • Gain access to corporate networks

Protection Strategies

  • Always verify URLs before entering credentials
  • Look for HTTPS and the padlock icon in browsers
  • Never click links in unsolicited emails or messages
  • Use password managers that detect fake sites
  • Enable multi-factor authentication everywhere
  • Report phishing attempts to your IT department

Warning Signs

  • Urgent language demanding immediate action
  • Slightly misspelled domain names (e.g., paypa1.com instead of paypal.com)
  • Requests for sensitive information via email
  • Poor grammar and spelling in messages
  • Generic greetings like "Dear Customer" instead of your name

XSS Attack Demonstration

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages. This simulation shows how user input can execute dangerous code in your browser.

Vulnerable Input Field

This input field doesn't sanitize user input - a common vulnerability

Attacker's view: This is where malicious scripts would execute

How XSS Attacks Work

Technical Overview

XSS vulnerabilities occur when:

  • User input is directly rendered without sanitization
  • Browser executes injected JavaScript
  • Attacker can steal cookies, session tokens, or redirect users

Attacker's Perspective

Malicious payloads can:

  • Steal session cookies to hijack accounts
  • Log keystrokes like a keylogger
  • Redirect to phishing sites
  • Deface websites or display fake content

Protection Strategies

  • Sanitize ALL user input before rendering
  • Use Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
  • Implement HttpOnly cookies
  • Escape special characters ( < > & etc.)
  • Use modern frameworks that auto-escape content
This demo uses safe rendering methods - scripts won't execute

What is a Security Lab?

Technical Overview

Security labs provide:

  • A safe place to see web threats in action
  • A method to improve cybersecurity postures
  • Awareness through interactive learning
