Lab: Manipulating WebSocket messages to exploit vulnerabilities

1. Click "Live chat" and send a chat message.
2. In Burp Proxy, go to the WebSockets history tab, and observe that the chat message has been sent via a WebSocket message.
3. Using the browser, send a new message containing a < character.
4. In Burp Proxy, find the corresponding WebSocket message and observe that the < has been HTML-encoded by the client before sending.
5. Ensure that Burp Proxy is configured to intercept WebSocket messages, then send another chat message.

6. Edit the intercepted message to contain the following payload:

   <img src=1 onerror='alert(1)'>
7. Observe that an alert is triggered in the browser. This will also happen in the support agent's browser.
