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.

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..

TAB NAPPING

An insecurity expert on Mozilla's Firefox web browser team has warned about a form of an advansed phishing attack also known as 'tab napping'.

•  WAT IS TAB NAPPING?

  Unlike the traditional phishing that relies on getting users to click through on a URL that redirect to the phishing site and reveal their user credential, Tab napping relies on a fact that most people use tabbed browsing (Openning multiple tabs while browsing)

• HOW DOES TAB NAPPING WORK?. 

During a tab napping attack, One of the inactive tabs is replaced by a phishing page without the user's knowladge. For example one of your inactive tab in which you have opened your facebook account will be automatically replaced with the phishing login page that looks exactly like that of facebook and you will be asked to enter your Username and password. Once these details are entered, they will be sent to the hacker & you will be redirected to the Original facebook

•  HOW TO PREVENT THIS ATTACK?

Tab napping always takes advantage the user's assumption that a tabbed web page stays the same when other Internet services are being accessed. Therefore to protect yourself from this type of an attack, you always have to;

1. Log out & close the tab when it is unusable
2. Always Check the url when returning from another tab, make sure it is on secure connection (https://site.com)
3. Close & open a new tab if u notice anything unussual about the url 
4. Format the habit of openning multiple tabs unnecessarily when browsing the web
