There are two applications within this repository that were generated from the HotTowel Angular generator. The main one is the vulnerable-app which is found in the /src folder. This application was built intentionally built out with vulnerabilities to easily demonstrate how they are performed by an attacker. The secondary application is the attacker-app found in the /attacker-app folder and it was built out to assist in demonstrating an attacker's website that is exploiting the vulnerabilities in the vulnerable-app.

1. Node.js v6.11.0
2. NPM v5.1.0

Straying from these versions may result in unanticipated behavior and it cannot be guaranteed the app will produce the expected results.

1. Open your terminal and cd to the root folder for this repository
2. Execute npm install -g bower gulp nodemon
3. Execute npm install
4. Execute bower install
5. Run gulp serve-dev to spin up the vulnerable-app
6. You should see your browser open up a new tab to the following URL: http://localhost:3000
7. Open a new terminal window or tab and cd to the /attacker-app folder from the root location of this repository
8. Run gulp serve-dev
9. You should see your browser open up another new tab to the following URL: http://localhost:3002

The following steps will demonstrate a simple example of being able to escape the context of where the search input text is printed on screen and used to execute an injectable script that the browser will execute.

1. In the tab that's running the vulnerable-app, click on the option XSS-Search in the navigation bar
2. In the "Search" field enter the following text: <script>alert('Malicious Script!');</script>
3. Click the "Submit" button
4. You should see an alert message pop up on your screen with the message "Malicious Script!"

The following steps will demonstrate a simple example of being able to submit requests on behalf of the logged in user within the vulnerable-app, but executed from the attacker-app.

1. In the tab that's running the vulnerable-app, click on the option CSRF in the navigation bar and take note of the "User Profile" section within the view

   By default, the user's "First Name" should show the value of Jim and the "Last Name" as the value of Bob

2. In the tab that's running the attacker-app, click on the option CSRF-Attack in the navigation bar. This will immediately execute the CSRF attack and display the forged POST data

3. Go back to the tab that's running the vulnerable-app and make sure you're still in the CSRF view

4. Click the "Get Latest User Profile" button and you should see that the user's profile was changed due to the CSRF attack

   The user's "First Name" should show the value of Evil and the "Last Name" as the value of Hacker now

The following steps will demonstrate a simple example of clickjacking by tricking the user of the vulnerable-app to click a seemingly harmless button in the attacker-app that actually executes an action in the vulnerable-app.

1. In the tab that's running the attacker-app, click on the option Clickjacking-Attack

   You should be able to see that the vulnerable-app is loaded in the view, but with a low opacity

2. Open the developer tools for the browser you're using and view the console

3. Click the "Click to see awesome dog backflips!" button

   You should see a message in the console with the following text: "The profile was successfully deleted!"

This example demonstrates that while the user thinks they're clicking on a button that will show them "awesome dog backflips", they're actually clicking on the "Delete Sensitive Information!" button found in the vulnerable-app. This is accomplished because the attacker-app can load the vulnerable-app in an iframe html element, style the iframe so it's not visible at all (in this case it is somewhat visible for demonstration purposes) and actually a "layer" deep from other html elements within the view, and place "clickbait" type elements on top of the iframe and over the areas the attacker wants the user to click within the iframe instead.

Opinionated Angular style guide for teams by @john_papa

More details about the styles and patterns used in this app can be found in my Angular Style Guide and my Angular Patterns: Clean Code course at Pluralsight and working in teams.

1. Install Node.js

• on OSX use homebrew brew install node
• on Windows use chocolatey choco install nodejs

2. Install Yeoman npm install -g yo

3. Install these NPM packages globally

   npm install -g bower gulp nodemon

   Refer to these instructions on how to not require sudo

• Run code analysis using gulp vet. This runs jshint, jscs, and plato.

• Run the unit tests using gulp test (via karma, mocha, sinon).

• Run the project with gulp serve-dev

• opens it in a browser and updates the browser with any files changes.

• Build the optimized project using gulp build
• This create the optimized code for the project and puts it in the build folder

• Run the optimize project from the build folder with gulp serve-build

HotTowel Angular starter project

The structure also contains a gulpfile.js and a server folder. The server is there just so we can serve the app using node. Feel free to use any server you wish.

/src
	/client
		/app
		/content

When you generate the project it should run these commands, but if you notice missing packages, run these again:

• npm install
• bower install

The app has 4 feature modules and depends on a series of external modules and custom but cross-app modules

app --> [
        app.admin --> [
            app.core,
            app.widgets
        ],
        app.dashboard --> [
            app.core,
            app.widgets
        ],
        app.layout --> [
            app.core
        ],
        app.widgets,
		app.core --> [
			ngAnimate,
			ngSanitize,
			ui.router,
			blocks.exception,
			blocks.logger,
			blocks.router
		]
    ]

Core modules are ones that are shared throughout the entire application and may be customized for the specific application. Example might be common data services.

This is an aggregator of modules that the application will need. The core module takes the blocks, common, and Angular sub-modules as dependencies.

Block modules are reusable blocks of code that can be used across projects simply by including them as dependencies.

The blocks.logger module handles logging across the Angular app.

The blocks.exception module handles exceptions across the Angular app.

It depends on the blocks.logger module, because the implementation logs the exceptions.

The blocks.router module contains a routing helper module that assists in adding routes to the $routeProvider.

• gulp help

• gulp autotest

  Runs a watch to run all unit tests.

• gulp autotest --startServers
