What are some simple hacking tricks on computer and smartphones?

By Omo BaBa Billy

I decided to give this one a shot. Heres some simple but (relatively) harmless quick tricks for “hacking”. Even though theyre harmless, I do not condone any illegal actions you use them for, if you do.

1. type=”text”

On sites like twitter, facebook, etc. When you type in your password, youll get something like this:

This is due to code in the HTML telling your browser to not display the text on screen. So how do we change this? Like so:

By going into developer options (Right click>Inspect Element) while hovering over the password box, we’ll get some HTML Code that looks like this


<input class="text-input"  type="password">

Now there could be a whole lot of other stuff in the input tags, but the thing we’re focusing on is the “type” object. By going in and changing the type from “password” to “text” . It will display the password clearly, like so:

(No this isn't my twitter password)

This hack can be used on computers where people have their browser to auto complete the password, the password will be in dots, not text, but changing the HTML code quickly, can result in you gaining the text password, which they very well may use on other stuff.

2. HTML Injections In Forms

Now, while this doesn’t apply for most sites with basic security, its worth trying.

So as you may know, HTML is what makes up the basic viewing of a site. So when you’re on a site where you can post things like a blog, try putting HTML tags around your post, so instead of posting:

“This is my blog!”

Try posting

“<font color=”red”><h1>This is my blog!</h1></font>”

If it was successful, it would post the text in gigantic red text, this can be used to mess with a site in more sinister ways if you try adding <?php ?> tags to the form to get server side information.

I actually cant think of any more right now..Hm.

In any case, stay out of trouble!

Thank You

IMPORTANCE AND ADVANTAGES OF SIWES

STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME (SIWES) The Industrial Training/Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme, IT/SIWES is a new Directorate under the Vice-Chancellor’s Office.

How to Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS/Administrator Password

Have you forgotten HP Elitebook 8460p password , bios or administrator account password? How to do if both of them lost? It seems hard though there may be lots of ways that can solve it. But if we talk about it separately, such as in two parts, HP elitebook password reset would be not so difficult. Part 1: Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS password Part 2: HP Elitebook 8460p Administrator password recovery Part 1: How to Reset Forgotten HP Elitebook BIOS Password? Generally, there are two ways to reset forgotten BIOS password . One is forcing BIOS/CMOS to reset itself to its stored defaults by removing all power from it. The other is to use a program to either locate or identify the password, and reveal it to you or erasing the password clearly. And the most easiest and convenient method for erasing dynamic BIOS/CMOS settings is to remove battery directly from the motherboard. However, it applies to most motherboards besides HP Elitebook BIOS. Fortunately, HP Eliteb

Ethical Hacking - TCP/IP Hijacking

TCP/IP Hijacking is when an authorized user gains access to a genuine network connection of another user. It is done in order to bypass the password authentication which is normally the start of a session. In theory, a TCP/IP connection is established as shown below − To hijack this connection, there are two possibilities − Find the seq which is a number that increases by 1, but there is no chance to predict it. The second possibility is to use the Man-in-the-Middle attack which, in simple words, is a type of network sniffing . For sniffing, we use tools like Wireshark or Ethercap . Example An attacker monitors the data transmission over a network and discovers the IP’s of two devices that participate in a connection. When the hacker discovers the IP of one of the users, he can put down the connection of the other user by DoS attack and then resume communication by spoofing the IP of the disconnected user. Shijack In practice, one of the best TCP/IP hijack too
