Although you can share anything relevant to the subject.

That auto-complete tip isn't so useful these days thanks to modern browsers having an integrated search facility, or the URLs of sites from history filtered when typing.

Thanks for sharing anyway!

Interview with the young hacker:

Softpedia: This is a question I ask all hackers. What is the significance of your hacker name and why did you choose this name?
S3rver.exe: I choose this name, s3rver.exe, because I really like Botnets and Rats and when you create a RAT Server it comes out as server.exe. That’s how I choose that name. Server.exe is also a malicious virus.

Softpedia: When and why did you start hacking?
S3rver.exe: I started hacking when I was 11. Botnets and Rats inspired me and then a friend introduced me to SQL injection and other hacking stuff.
Basically, I started hacking because I saw many videos and news around the world about hacking and then I also wanted to learn. I made heaps of Internet friends and they taught me some tricks.
And I guess hacking is my type because I really like computers and I want to get a job in computing.

Softpedia: Which was the most important site you breached, or the most important operation you were part of
S3rver.exe: I have breached the Administrator of usa.gov yesterday. That was fun. I went through the directories and stuff. Me and my friend Sterlok breached the security.
Then I did a live deface on UFC.com and UFC.tv. The live deface was on Tinychat. I was sharing my screen and people were watching me deface.
Now I have XSS'ed OPOA, which is the Oakland Police website. I am going to release their stuff soon.
So those were really important to me.

That kid! LOL.
How come the authorities haven't reacted to that?

Using RATs are no big deal, programming them is the real thing. If this kid programmed the RAT by himself then he is pretty clever.

I should have stuck to programming when I was younger I know I would be a hacker know it all by now. But I didn't I chose to build them and manipulate the hardware and now i'm just a nerd :(

lol I wish I had learned programming when I was younger too :( and I really hope somebody tells this guy how much trouble he'll get into breaking into government servers.

So this is where all my btc went to. :D

A great shortcut that I have learned lately that I have much use of is ctrl-shift T. It opens up a tab that you recently closed, either by accident or cause you thought you didn't need it anymore. As far as I know it works on both Chrome and FF, not sure about IE.

scroll lock led thing was cool. tried it in a vmware, ofcourse heh, worked well though even in vm :)
quite amusing, which we had done that in school days many years back.

Looking forward to seeing more stuff like this I never knew you could do that with the keyboard pretty cool.

It depends if you are caught. Most often consequences are not positive, but sometimes they are. Back in the 90's in many countries there were simply no laws regarding hacking, so you could simply hack servers and get away with it. All the old day tricks worked, XSS and what not. Nowadays there's all this legal stuff;

Wow the ctrl L shortcut saved my life lol

I will share more but I'm thinking about creating other thread to discuss the Tricks shared here and keep this one clean and straight Tip Tricks and Facts thread.
Or Turn this one into Discussion Thread as This is not Self Moderated and already has some posts which are not straight Tips Tricks or Facts posts.

One can also use alt+d or F6 to goto the add-bar . works well with Firefox don't know about others.

do you know how to make browser stay hover even if i open new window

F6 is easier ;D

What I have to do though, is to macro the "Home" key to one of my mouse buttons.

Ctrl+N in Firefox opens a new window.
F6 is a great shortcut

I haven't seen this mentioned but I like the Windows+R command.

The list of shortcut is way too long , I'll post them categorically .

Also CTRL + Shift + P opens a secret windows in Firefox.

If you missed it I already posted it before in previous post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=644628.msg7232688#msg7232688
Think beyond shortcut keys :p

Sorry, i didn't see that  :D

my fav trick for win 7&8
ctrl + tab
or
start + tab

Also if some virus or toolbar broke Firefox's settings you can you about:support to reset Firefox's settings completely.

start + tab
shift+tab

FTFY

Start + Tab changes windows on Windows 7 but what is Shift + Tab?

Tab takes further shift+tab takes you backward.
In this case ctrl+tab while using on a browser will take you to the next tab on right while hitting ctrl+shift+tab will take you to the tab on the left.

Firefox has all kinds of about: pages.

about:config
about:support
about:mozilla
about:robots

and others...

it is not working in Google chrome . there is no such option as add a keyword for search when i right click on the search bar .

And this is why mate I prefer Mozilla Firefox over Google Chrome..! This works flawlessly on Firefox don't know about Google chrome..! will update the post.

Bro, you replaced LED script with CD rom ejecting script >.<

Cryptos turn out scam ..? ??if you are talking about btc,  I'll just ask ,  do you even know what you are talking about.? that doesn't make any sense. a Decentralized protocol can't turn scam, although people involved with it might

Absolutely wrong on so many levels.


Step 1 and 2 are totally unneeded.
Step 3 could be shortened to just running ncpa.cpl as a command. Also, they might be using wireless rather than hardwared.
Step 4 should specify that you're modifying IPv4.
Step 5: Congratz! You've actually got something right here. Except you gave absolutely no hints on what address to type. Yeah, your tutorial forgot to mention anything related to DNS. As soon as you click that box, you MUST enter something for your DNS servers as you can no longer automatically obtain them via DHCP.
Step 6: Wrong on so many levels. There's a thing called "subnetting" and a subnet mask is actually useful. Say I had a 10.1.10.0/24 network, right? Well, default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. The correct subnet mask for that network is 255.255.255.0. What does this mean? It means if a webserver is on another internal network that's not behind your router, you'll never be able to reach it as the subnet mask says the address is local.
Step 7: Yay! You configured a static IP address. Please tell me that's ALL this tutorial was? Cause if so, you literally can do it in like 5 seconds via CMD / powershell.
Step 8: Wait what? Why!?
Step 9: Are you fucking kidding me? You're setting it back to a dynamic IP address? Are you retarded. If so, you could have done step 1, typed "ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew" and you're fucking done.
Step 10: No, just no.


That's a third party site. Therefore, you are technically opening yourself to a lot of vulnerabilities by using some random site on the internet to download files.


So far the tips, tricks, and facts thread has been rather useless in giving any sort of knowledge.

How would I go about doing some of these cool tricks for Linux based system?

Which one in particular ?
