Hidden Messages in Your Web Browser

Hidden Messages in Your Web Browser :

  

     There is a hidden message in the Web browser you're using right now. Assuming it's Mozilla Firefox. If it isn't, then kindly open Firefox and read that sentence again. We will wait.

Every Mozilla browser includes a special "about" feature that allows you to configure certain sections just by typing "about:whatever" into the address bar. For example, if you type "about:about," you'll see a list of all the menus they offer. Some of the menus are actually cute Easter eggs, like "about:robots," which takes you to a page referencing things like Blade Runner, Futurama, and the eventual annihilation of all mankind.

However, if you type "about:mozilla," perhaps looking to learn a bit more about the browser, you'll come across a red screen with ominous Bible-like text written on it.

What the complete hell? What you've just read is an excerpt from the Book of Mozilla, an ongoing text of apocalyptic literature secretly inserted by Mozilla into each of its Web browsers dating back to when the company worked on AOL's Netscape in 1995. So if you typed "about:mozilla" 17 years ago, you'd see that.

Apparently, each verse is a metaphor for one of the updates Mozilla has released. Hidden developer commentary in the code of the 1998 page confirms that the beast "Mammon" is actually Mozilla's main competitor, Microsoft Internet Explorer. The first verse we showed you says that Mammon has become "naught but a follower," a reference to the fact that the latest editions of Internet Explorer straight up ripped off several features from Mozilla. Among them was the "about:mozilla" page -- if you type that in some versions of Explorer, it takes you to a blank blue screen.

Top Open Source Hacking Tools

 

Nmap : 

Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. Nmap homepage.  

Wireshark :

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It lets you capture and interactively browse the traffic running on a computer network. Wireshark homepage.

Kismet also supports plugins which allow sniffing other media such as DECT. kismet homepage.

w3af :

w3af is a Web Application Attack and Audit Framework. The project’s goal is to create a framework to find and exploit web application vulnerabilities that is easy to use and extend. w3af homepage.

FireFox users can Hack Rapidshare NOW

FireFox users can Hack Rapidshare NOW:

 

       The hot new Firefox plug-in takes browser customization to a whole new level by letting users filter site content or change page behaviors. The glory of open-source software is that it allows anyone with the inclination and the scripting knowledge to get under the hood and hot-rod their computing environment. But most of the time, that advantage is available only to people with the programming skills to make the changes they want.

That's where Greasemonkey, a free plug-in for Firefox, comes in -- it simplifies hacking the browser.

Released at the end 2004, Greasemonkey is the latest in a growing arsenal of Firefox customization tools. It changes how Web pages look and act by altering the rendering process.

Steps :

1) Install the Greasemonkey extension>>
http://downloads.mozdev.org/greasemonkey/greasemonkey_0.2.6.xpi
2) Restart Firefox
3) Go to http://rapidshare.de/files/1034529/rapidshare.user.js.html
4) Right click on rapidshare.user.js and choose "Install User Script".
5) Run FireFox.
6) From 'File' Menu click on Open File then browse to whereever you saved the 'greasemonkey.xpi' plug-in.
Open it, wait a couple seconds for the install button becomes active.
7) Click on it to install this plug-in then CLOSE FIREFOX.
8) Run FireFox again.
From the File Menu click on Open File then browse to whereever you saved the 'rapidshare.user.js'.
9) Open it.
10) Click the Tools Menu then click on Install User Script then click OK.

How To Hide Files in JPEG Images

This post will help you to hide files in JPEG images :

In this example we will hide a text message inside a picture. We have choose for this tutorial a text file named foobar.txt and a picture linux.jpg.

1. Move your files you want to combine in a new folder, in our case C:\secret.

2. Add the file you want to hide into a new RAR archive like.Secret.txt .

3. WinRar created the archive in the folder where our files are located.

4. Open Command Prompt (Start -> Run..., type cmd and press Enter)

5. Go to the folder where your files are located, in this case C:\secret by using the cmd command.

6. Now type copy /b linux.jpg + foobar.txt.rar dummy.jpg where linux.jpg is the original picture, foobar.txt.rar is the file that will be hidden, and dummy.jpg is the file which contains both.

7. If you open dummy.jpg you will see the linux.jpg image.

8. Try opening the file with WinRar (select All files).

9. Now you can see the text file that is hidden in the picture.

Powerful VIM commands

About Vim text editor :

    Vim is initially as standard GUI text editors like Gedit or word processors like OpenOffice.org's Writer, over a longer term you can become more productive using Vim. If you're a touch-typist, you'll find that your speed will improve even more with Vim because your hands rarely need to leave the ^home^ keys, and you'll only need to use the mouse if you choose to do so.

If you're a programmer or working with structured markup languages like HTML, LaTeX, etc., Vim is the bee's knees. It offers a number of features that make working with programming and markup languages much easier.

Some of the useful VIM commands :  

:e filename ---------------------------- OPen finename for edition
:w               ---------------------------- Save file
:q                ---------------------------- Exit Vim
:w!              ---------------------------- Write fine and quit
/word         ----------------------------- Search word from top to bottom

VU             ------------------------------ Uppercase line

:e .             ------------------------------ Open integrated file explorer
:Sex           ------------------------------ Split window and open integrated file explorer

Anonymous OS version 0.1 released and detailed

Anonymous OS version 0.1 released and detailed :

     its been quietly announced that members of the hacker group known as Anonymous are releasing their very own desktop operating system. This system is known at the moment as Anonymous-OS and is currently in as infant a stage as it possibly could be at version 0.1. That’s pre-pre-Alpha, for those of you counting, and we’re not even going to tell you to download it or do a search for it – keep your eyes off of it! 

 

What this operating system represents is a full toolkit for those of you looking to join the dangerous and illicit world of hacking. Inside the operating system you can actually download today is a relatively vast list of applications that will allow you to crack, spoof, and rip your way into the mainframe just like your heroes from the 1990′s movie Hackers, just like you’ve always wanted to! Have a peek at the list here, and forever hold your keyboards in glee:

Pre-installed apps on Anonymous-OS:
- ParolaPass Password Generator
- Find Host IP
- Anonymous HOIC
- Ddosim
- Pyloris
- Slowloris
- TorsHammer
- Sqlmap
- Havij
- Sql Poison
- Admin Finder
- John the Ripper
- Hash Identifier
- Tor
- XChat IRC
- Pidgin
- Vidalia
- Polipo
- JonDo
- i2p
- Wireshark
- Zenmap
…and more

This OS runs under Ubunti 11.10 and uses Mate desktop – also you’ve got the ability to create the LiveUSB with Unetbootin – also just like you should expect. If you want to move forward with this OS for your soon-to-be-destroyed computer, head over to The Hacker News and have a look-see. Don’t say we didnt warn you though, especially since that source also notes the following: “Warning : It is not developed by any Genuine Source, can be backdoored OS by any Law enforcement Company or Hacker. You at your own Risk.” Strong words.
