Abstract: Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability typically found in web applications which allows the attackers to inject malicious script into web pages/servers. XSS is the main cause of DOM attack. This add-on is a penetration testing tool to detect DOM vulnerabilities in Web Applications. This tool detects the DOM vulnerabilities based on xss vulnerabilities in the web page. It provides a penetration tester the ability to test all kinds of xss vulnerabilities. This add-on will be useful for web application developers in detecting DOM vulnerabilities early in the development process will help protect a web application from unnecessary flaws.
