This lab involves a front-end and back-end server, and the front-end server doesn’t support chunked encoding. The front-end server rejects requests that aren’t using the GET or POST method. To solve the lab, smuggle a request to the back-end server, so that the next request processed by the back-end server appears to use the method GPOST | Karthikeyan Nagaraj

This lab involves a front-end and back-end server, and the front-end server doesn’t support chunked encoding. The front-end server rejects requests that aren’t using the GET or POST method.

To solve the lab, smuggle a request to the back-end server, so that the next request processed by the back-end server appears to use the method GPOST.

Note

Although the lab supports HTTP/2, the intended solution requires techniques that are only possible in HTTP/1. You can manually switch protocols in Burp Repeater from the Request attributes section of the Inspector panel.

Tip

Manually fixing the length fields in request smuggling attacks can be tricky. Our HTTP Request Smuggler Burp extension was designed to help. You can install it via the BApp Store.

Using Burp Repeater, issue the following request twice:POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: YOUR-LAB-ID.web-security-academy.net
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 6
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

2. The second response should say: Unrecognized method GPOST.
