Hi

Usually when i come across things like this almost half the globe has seen it before me, but just incase you havent then check this out

open a webpage that has a lot of images on and paste this into the address line


javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(%22img%22); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+%22px%22; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+%22px%22}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);


Am impressed!!

I can't wait to make that into a Vista Gadet or a screensaver!

Try using images from images.google.com, like: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&q=jupiter+planet+source%3Alife&btnG=Search+Images

Felt like it was going to burst through my screen and attack me.

Use the IE Tab add-on in FF3 to switch between FF3 and IE in the same tab using only a single click.

And the effect looks fine in my FF3.

I just tried it in Chrome and what it does to the Google logo is hilarious!

Pretty cool. Looked good on FF3. I definitely didn't expect that.

That's pretty slick.

Guys you will never guess, but I posted this same thread on another forum and i then got this message from the administrator

---

that little copy and paste you posted this morning is listed on other forums regarding stealing passwords on forums.
you've been suspended for 7 days while i look into this

---

How can a simple cut and paste into a browser reveal your passwords?


Any idea if this is true?

ladiesman217

Sounds cool but I'm afraid to try it. can u post a pic. where u get it? :P

what will happen if I paste it on the address bar while browsing techexams.net ?

Lee H

It works on here, i doubt its a hack, i think the other administrator on the forum is too paranoid

notice that he said

"regarding stealing passwords on forums"

I think this of all forums would be aware of such a hack which leads me to beleive its all bull****

ladiesman217

its not working. also tried to use IE but it says:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0); on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

maybe I'm doing it wrong.... when I try to paste it, it always says forbidden.

I just tried it on www.argos.co.uk, and it works

Only when it's actually funny

JavaScript is a 'client-side' script, the code you posted only uses the contents of the page that is already loaded into your browser, which of course does not include your password. It simply creates an array of the images (based on the img tags in the page in your browser) and then enumerates through it to update the positions, nothing harmful. Replace 'img' with any other html tag (such as 'table') and then run it again. But besides that the passwords are encrypted (one-way), even I cannot read them (since they aren't really there, just the hash value).

Nice script btw, haven't seen anything like that over the past decade+. Reminds of the viruses before the Internet became common, like the ones that made all characters drop to the bottom of the screen (and also didn't do actual harm).

That said, if you can't predict the results of running such code don't run it at all, especially not at TE. Well, unless you want to try it a www.****.com or similar next time

Thanks for the pm.

I loved that effect as a screensaver. I could just watch it for hours, like fish in an aquarium. And it was so funny to secretly install it on someone's machine, watcher their reaction, and give them tech support. ("Oh yeah, you have that character drop-off problem. I think it's cause your RAM worn out." )

Clicking back on the address bar and hitting enter makes it go faster.

Ah same joke worked worldwide I see I also remember renaming dos commands and creating batch files with the original command name that executes the command and the 'virus'. Note this is long before I even considered the possibility of a career as IT pro.
