Hi HN,
I'm working on a short talk I will be doing soon. I want to desmonstrate to a non-coder public that when you access a webpage, you actually download a some data that you can interract with and modify. This is pratices I do without thinking but I see people don't have that knowledge. I will show small js one liners, css rules or gui interaction with the standard dev tools. I will also talk about plugins, [tamper/violent/fire]monkey, ublock, user stylesheet...
For now I have the following :
- delete paywall or modals from the dom with the inspect tool (you can do the same in Ublock also).
- change the input type from password to text to see a recorded password
- change color from the devtools then apply them with user stylesheet (using a plugin)
- identify resources (sound, image) from the network pannel and download them in your user folder
- find image links by inspecting stylesheet to get background images
- modify url arguments (pagination querystring, explore a site by it's url)
- show several privacy and adblocking plugins.
Do you have any ideas in the same vein I could use to enrich the presentation ?
Great ideas! What about going to a very well known site, eg NYT, and changing some text on the front page to mention your self, or the presentation and take a screen shot of that?
"this presentation is so good the NYT is talking about it!"
