What are some simple hacking tricks on computer and smartphones?


Aiden Calvert
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
    

  1. <input class="text-input"  type="password">
    2.
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

Animal Cell

 By Lasisi Halima Billy   All animal cells are multicellular. They are eukaryotic cells.  A nimal cells  are surrounded by plasma membrane and it contains the nucleus and organel les that are membrane bound. A nimal cells are of various sizes and have irregular shapes.  Most of the cells size range between 1 and 100 micrometers and are visible only with help of microscope.  Trillions of cells are found in the human body.  There are many different types of cells, approximately 210 distinct cell types in adult human body.   Animal Cell Definition    Animal cells are eukarytoic. Animal cells are have outer boundary known as the plasma membrane.  T he nucleus and the organelles of the cell are bound by a membrane.  The genetic material (DNA) in animal cells...

Light Microscope vs Electron Microscope.

Both light microscopes and electron microscopes use radiation (light or electron beams) to form larger and more detailed images of objects (e.g. biological specimens, materials, crystal structures, etc.) than the human eye can produce unaided. (See also: What is eyesight ? ) An electron microscope is a microscope that uses beams of electrons instead of rays of visible light to form highly magnified images of tiny areas materials or biological specimens. Comparing light vs electron microscopes is made more complicated by the fact that there are different types of electron microscopes. The two main types of electron microscope are the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Other types of electron microscope include the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and Field Emission Transmission Microscope (FE-TEM). Brief notes, see the tables lower down this page for figures, explanations and comments: ...
