you could steal cookies.

but if you know how to find a XSS exploit.. then usally you know what to do with it.

are you sure you have found a vunerable site?

if it is vunerable, and the site is peaceful then i suggest you notify the admin.

well i inserted <script>alert("hello")</script> into a search box and it came up on the next page. So im guesing it is because i read a lrticle on xss exploits and this is one of tha ways to find a vunriblity

More like quintuple post o_O

I just wanted to say that for it to be an XSS hole, it would have to alert hello. If it just shows your code on the next page, it is not a hole. Keep looking! :D

sly mate.. you need to understand something.

You've got 2 options - your choosing of either one is dependent on what kind of site it is.

  1. Contact the webmaster and let them know about the hole.
  2. Read up on exploits and do as much damage as possible.

One of the above would make you an idiot in my opinion, and the other is the easiest.
