Easy hacks most Myspacers don't know about
These to my knowledge aren't showing up in any books.
When you join myspace you can make your profile private, and its THE ONLY WAY to secure your friends list, your private anything really. If you can do it within the standard features myspace offers (privacy settings for example) then it cannot be bypassed, but if the user has to add code to his/her about me page then its absolutely a deception that this is protected. People draw a false sense of security when using these codes. I discovered it when I was trying to show my friends that nothing is truly safe unless its blocked in the code (from the sourse).
I was determined to figure out how to get at this list to see if I could get at a hidden friends list, pictures etc... Turns out that the codes for myspace pages is unprotected (i.e. not set to private by myspace not codes you enter).
Profiles are always broadcasted. This means as long as you have to enter codes into a box to make the feature happen its still there. It works alot like cable tv. The signal to all of the channels are broadcast in that wire but the box scrambles the unpaid for signals. Well myspace doesnt block anything when you add code, actually whats happening is the whole code comes in like nothing was changed, but your added code is piggie backed onto the myspace base code and its your browser that actually hides the features by telling the browser not to show it.
What happens is the code is appended to change this one word in various places: "Visibility" (so simple its almost an insult huh)
Un- Hiding the entire page! Hack
1. For hiding tables like your friends frame, for changing the look of the page they hide the frame and use CSS (cascading style sheets) to rebuild a new frame), or to wipe the whole page so you can make it look like a web page with no frame boxes. (this is also how they swap the picture to the right side not the left in some designs)
"style="visibility:visible;
then on any thing hidden (also this is all they do to hide anything is flip this code to
"visibility:invisible"
the codes you enter basically append (add to) the format code, as the format code says "visibility:show" or "vidibility:invisible" the codes you enter will add a new line below that updating the read to "Visibility:visible" or "Visibility:show"
the picture took like this lol Alittle obsessed with online Social networking?
Web 2.0 Un-Hiding features in the page like friends, pictures, comments box etc..
1. Hiding friends
If you're cheating you may try to hide the friends so your boyfriend wont see who your talking to. He can hack this easily (sorry to burst your bubble) by
•a. Go to their page and click file> save as> whole page. Once their page is cloned to your desktop you open the html document in an editor and go to the code, do a search in the code from the tool bar (usually you can click edit find on this page) enter:
Simply the keyword: visibility then when it finds it just start typing (editing as its highlighted already) "visible" without the quotes. Change all invisibles to visible and this unlocks all hidden parts of the page :) brilliant.
•b. second hack is to use logic. Go to your own page scroll down to the friends box and you'll notice the box below the friends has a link to three pages.
View (screen name or avatar title of their page) ‘s friends: ALL
Online
New
Right click the link ALL and select "copy shortcut" this puts the url into your buffer. Open word pad and right click paste this into it. The url will look like this:
http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends&friendID=53964414that's my friends page for my account. To hack their page without even going to their page, just (well you do need to go for a second) go to their front page and on the top of the browser (in the web url box that shows you where you are it will look like this (this is my myspace page):
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=53964414the only difference between your page and anyone else's is that last group of numbers the (for each page theirs a different url structure but the only different between your view friends, view pictures etc.. and mine is that number :
&friendid=3964414
get this url from going to their page all you need is the number on their url and change the one on this to theirs (their friendid # then hit go.. it will bypass their front page and take you directly to their friends all page :)
you can do this for pictures or anything else on their page.
Mac World SF How about HIDING email in your myspace mail box from prying eyes (say you get up and go to the bathroom)
Hiding the email in your box: a level 1 hack to hide from prying eyes like roommates etc.. (if their not attentive)
This one I found when a girl told me just how cute she thought I was and trailed this with over 200 apostrophizes ( !!!!!!!!! ).. this somehow confused the myspace page and bounced the entire text frame out of the whole format to way below at the bottom of the page. I realized this was the problem because back in the aol days we used this type of thing to create "Punt" email bombs that would knock people offline (because computer memory was so small an unsophisticated it filled their memory and aol software crashed)
To see it you just scroll down (a lot).. but to the normal myspacer this is not common sense so they see it looks like a blank email and will 1. try to reload the page 2. leave thinking theirs nothing in the mail.
Annoying intrusive layouts taking over "Home" button to trick you into going to their site
Removing all those annoying advertisement links to the layout authors site, (some are unnecessary like tricking your "home' button into taking the visitor to their page, this is invasive, I can understand giving them credit for their work but this is uncool.
To remove the gif's /jpg's or links do this:
Same as view source above only search for their .com i.e. freesourcecode.com but a lot of these are needed urls, to find the ones for the particular gif you do this. On your page you right click and click "properties" then copy that url to your buffer (Highlight right click copy) then paste the url into the search box (as the keyword use the whole gif location url) and it will find it. All you have to do is hit del on your keyboard when it finds it, you remove the url nothing loads, problem solved.
The home button is the same way only you're looking for a different code that usually comes right after the home link code what they do is put a transparent picture over the home button so you can right click the area over the home button and get the url you'll notice if this is there that when your mouse goes over the link a square will show up (on pages especially with effects where mouse overs make pictures change because this is a picture it will make it fade like any other! You delete it out the same way.
More to come as I remember them.. I put this here not to humiliate those using the code to hide their friends etc.. I put this here to make you aware that this is NOT safe, as anyone can bypass it easily, so you shouldn't think you can hide anything unless myspace does it for you in the privates screen in edit account settings. I learned about the number when I used a template that added the other pages to the front page (neat huh?) and had to enter that number into several codes to make it work. They turned the whole page into a big camera which was neat, but it didn't function too well, looked pretty cool though.
