Here we run a stored XSS attack on a lab that has a number of protections in place in the form of HTML encoding and escaping. The full title of this lab is 'Stored XSS into onclick event with angle brackets and double quotes HTML-encoded and backslash escaped'.

We'll see an example of how HTML encoding can be used for payload obfuscation.

In the post analysis section we also learn some differences regarding the DOM and the raw HTML response returned by the web server.
