Description: Browser Exploitation Framework (BeEF)
BeEF is short for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a penetration
testing tool that focuses on the web browser.
.
Amid growing concerns about web-born attacks against clients, including
mobile clients, BeEF allows the professional penetration tester to assess the
actual security posture of a target environment by using client-side attack
vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, BeEF looks past the hardened
network perimeter and client system, and examines exploitability within the
context of the one open door: the web browser. BeEF will hook one or more web
browsers and use them as beachheads for launching directed command modules and
further attacks against the system from within the browser context.
