A few days back I asked myself a question . How can I exfiltrate data from super restricted networks . Networks which allow only a certain number of ips and domains . So my first question was can I use google to exfiltrate data . Turns out we can . We use Google . I thought of two methods . But why google ? Because even in the most restricted environments you can access google and businesses use tools like google docs so it’s mostly allowed

  1. Use google search( This technique is still under work in progress . Will update it once done)
  2. Use google forms .

Make a google form and disable require sign in . Intercept a test response using burp . This can be used as a reference for the data exfiltration script . There will be a field that will have the test data you inserted . Replace the test data with the payload

This is the request . I replaced the email address field with a base64 encoded text to simulate data exfiltration . Automate it and you can use this to exfiltrate data from extremely restricted environment . Added the gmail.com since the field only accepts email data
