"Hacking"

[Kelso]

Try this: go to a website (Yahoo.com, MySpace.com) and type in "java script:document.body.contentEditable='true';%20document.designMode='on';%20void%200" without the quotes, or perhaps bookmark it. Nothing happened, right?

 

 

Select some text on the page and click delete.

 

 

Really sweet, huh?

 

You can also modify images and screw up CSS. Look out yahoo, here I come!

where do we put the java script thing? Do we put it in the search engine thing and click submit or what?

[AverageJoe]

I think you put it after the address. But does it delete it from the server or just so you can't see it?

[kyle]

i tried to put it after the address, but i clicked it and it didnt work. Am I suppose to click go or something?

[AverageJoe]

I would prob click go.

[Kelso]

You'd replace the text in the address bar with the javascript. Which browser are you using?

 

 

 

Be sure to click "go", or hit the return key. Then, select some text and press delete. You can now edit the page!

 

 

If it doesn't work for you, click the link below:

Edit This Page!

 

 

Pretty Neat, huh?

[AverageJoe]

Can everyone see what you delete or does it only show up on the deleters computer?

[Eeor3]

Doesn't work for me, but I did hear a similar thing where you type a similar script in the bar and hit go then all the images will fly all over the page. Pretty cool ffor a parlour trick, can't remember the code though

it just doesnt work....but internet explorer 7 has some new [bleeped!] built in so maybe thats it

[AverageJoe]

You should get FF.

Remove the space between "java" and "script". It's an IPB security "feature".

[AverageJoe]

So, does it change the server, or just change it in your browser?

[SoldierOfFortune]

uber-cool

 

the morphing is sorta limited though

It's client-side.

If it changed the server, I would have some major security holes to correct
