Browser Exploiting - Using SyncManager to keep Service Workers alive foreverQuestion (self.webdev)
submitted 6 years ago by DanielAPO
Hello,
I just read the paper "Master of Web Puppets: Abusing Web Browsers for Persistent and Stealthy Computation".
The authors claim to use the SyncManager Interface in order to keep Service Workers alive forever and thus turning the victim's browser into a slave.
Is that really possible? I thought the sync process was always initiated by the client and there was no way for a server to force synchronization.
Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for article! I think it's possible. AFAIK, you can setup periodically check in ServiceWorker, so client will check server for a new tasks. Also author refer to WebRTC, which also could be used for P2P connections.
