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.

Fact of the Day:
This 12 year old cute little kid is a hacker!
Yup, he's the youngest hacker in the world. But don't get deceived by his size, this guy has hacked 9 NASA computers!!! His name is s3rver.exe (this is not his real name, of course! ), and he is a very mischievous black hat hacker. He leaves a message after he hacks any computer- "S3rver.exe was here"!

So this is where all my btc went to.

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.

[Justin00]

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.

[Baitty]

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.

F6 is easier

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
