Create secure passwords from a master phrase with web-based application Password Chart. Enter a phrase and Password Chart generates a table of values for the alphabet based off that phrase.

For example, starting with phrase “dark horizon provides you with everything“, It converted the password “thatsmypassword” into the much less crackable “L7S8FNHL7SL4bk7_9INHL4L4Qa98yrx#k4“. You can even print off the password chart to store or keep with you.

Why should you use this?

1. Picking and remembering strong passwords is a pain. It’s easier to convert an easy to remember one.
2. It works anywhere on any computer. It also works offline if you print out the chart.
3. Its free, easy and secure. Everything is done in your browser — no passwords are sent over the Internet.

Javascript to unmask password on web pages

Here comes javascript which is tested on Firefox & IE!

javascript: alert(document.getElementById('Passwd').value);

Just copy above code and paste it in ur browsers address bar (navigation bar or url bar).

There is one more similar script! This will change HTMLs tags “type” attribute from “password” to “text”!

javascript: alert(document.getElementById('Passwd').type='text');

On hitting enter you will see a prompt, just ignore it and look at screen… The password field will be unmasked any now

The above script may fail on hotmail when opened in firefox! But don’t worry,

Try following code in the same way! This does not work with antique IE 6.0 and with release of firefox 2.0, I did not bothered to give IE 7.0 a try!

This will again prompt password like above!

javascript: function getElementsByAttribute(oElm, strTagName, strAttributeName, strAttributeValue){ var arrElements = (strTagName == "*" && oElm.all)? oElm.all : oElm.getElementsByTagName(strTagName); var arrReturnElements = new Array(); var oAttributeValue = (typeof strAttributeValue != "undefined")? new RegExp("(^|\s)" + strAttributeValue + "(\s|$)") : null; var oCurrent; var oAttribute; for(var i=0; i< ocurrent ="" oattribute ="”" oattribute ="”="> 0){ if(typeof strAttributeValue == “undefined” || (oAttributeValue && oAttributeValue.test(oAttribute))){ arrReturnElements.push(oCurrent);}}} return arrReturnElements; } alert( getElementsByAttribute(document.body, “input”, “type”, “password”)[0].value);

And this will unmask password filed like above!

javascript: function getElementsByAttribute(oElm, strTagName, strAttributeName, strAttributeValue){ var arrElements = (strTagName == "*" && oElm.all)? oElm.all : oElm.getElementsByTagName(strTagName); var arrReturnElements = new Array(); var oAttributeValue = (typeof strAttributeValue != "undefined")? new RegExp("(^|\s)" + strAttributeValue + "(\s|$)") : null; var oCurrent; var oAttribute; for(var i=0; i< ocurrent ="" oattribute ="”" oattribute ="”="> 0){ if(typeof strAttributeValue == “undefined” || (oAttributeValue && oAttributeValue.test(oAttribute))){ arrReturnElements.push(oCurrent);}}} return arrReturnElements; } ; alert( getElementsByAttribute(document.body, “input”, “type”, “password”)[0].type=”text” ) ;

Above scripts successfully tested on gmail, yahoo, hotmail, rediff login pages! Orkuts login pages have frames so the above may fail! In fireox you can also right-click on any frame and can open that frame separately in different window or tab and then can use any of above script!

Also any password field can be unmasked using DOM Inspector in firefox! Please don’t make false assumption that firefox is insecure! There is a feature called “master password” in firefox! That will protect your passwords against all javascript, DOM Inspectors, etc!

Who needs revelation (at least for web pages) … Enjoi!!!

(Please note that the DOM Inspector must be installed. (Select “Developer Tools” during custom setup of Firefox)

hi friends,

We all copy various data by using ctrl+c/Copy for pasting elsewhere.
This copied data is stored on clipboard and is accessible over the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.

Just try this:
1) Copy any text by ctrl+c
2) Click the Link: http://www.friendlycanadian.com/applications/clipboard.htm
3) You will see the text you copied on the Screen which was
accessed by this web page.

Moral:
Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, creditcard numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information. If sufficient data is stored by mistake it would give away confidential and important information without you knowing about it.

To Avoid This
To avoid this, follow these steps:

1. Go to internet options->security

2. Press custom level

3. In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script.
Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.

Pass this information on to create an awareness of the same.

Safe Browsing,
Cheers.

Some time or the other, you must have used cyber dafe or public computers to access internet or mail. Public computers are most prone to password hacking. Anyone can simply install a keylogger software to hack your password. Keylogging is one of the most insidious threats to a user’s personal information. Passwords, credit card numbers etc.

It is now very easy for the keylogger to harvest passwords. Each and every keystroke (whatever you type on the keyboard) gets recorded in the keylogger software and the person installing it can easily view what you have typd in.

For example, if you go to hotmail.com and check your mails. Say your ID is aaabbbccc @ hotmail . com and password is snoopy2. the keylogger software records your usename and password in its log file as

www.hotmail.comaaabbbccc @ hotmail . comsnoopy2

Risky isnt it???!!!

There’s solution to this problem and you can easily fool the hacker.
The keylogger software sees and records everything, but it doesn’t understand what it sees. It does not know what to do with keys that are typed anywhere other than the password or user name fields.

So, between successive keys of the password if you enter random keys, the keylogger software wont ever come to konw where you typed in what..

In the process of recording the keys, the string that the keylogger receives will contain the password, but embedded in so much random junk that discovering it is infeasible.

So…

1.Go to hotmail.com or yahoo.com or any of the site where you need to insert a password or PIN.
2.Type in your user ID.
3. Type in the first characterof the password.
4. Click on the address bar in the internet explorer or Firefox. Type in some 3/4 random charachters.
5. Again go to password field and type in the second character of the password.And probably third too.
6. Again go to the addressbar and type in a few mroe random character.
7. Back to the password field and the next characters of the password.

Keep on repeating the process till you type in the full password in the password field.

Instead of the password
snoopy2 the keylogger now gets:
hotmail.comspqmlainsdgsosdgfsodgfdpuouuyhdg2

Here a total of 26 random characters have been inserted among the 7 characters of the actual password!!!

No doubt it takes a little bit of more time than the usual process, but you’re safe and secure that way!!!
