Cours XSS - Tutoriaux Hack - Apprendre le hacking
Ces tutoriaux ont pour but d'expliquer les méthodes des hackers pour pirater un site Web. Nous nous en tiendrons aux sites Web (le hacking comprenant bien d'autres domaines). - Pourquoi vous l'expliquer, cela ne risque-t-il pas de former des hackers plutôt qu'autre chose ? C'est possible ! Mais partant du fait que les meilleurs hackers bossent chez Symantec (Norton), on comprend que pour déjouer les piéges d'un hacker, il faut déjà le connaitre et connaitre ses méthodes. - Que verrons-nous dans ces tutoriaux (cours) dédiés au hacking Web ? - Y a-t'il besoin de connaissances spécifiques ? Un hacker est d'abord un bon programmateur qui sait réfléchir. Bien entendu, ces tutoriaux seront surement lus et relus par de jeunes gens bouillants d'envies de se faire un nom sur le Web en piratant le site de la maison Blanche ;) ! Juste pour mettre les choses au clair : Enfin, le 6 juillet 2003, un hacker britannique de 23 ans qui s'amusait à planter des sites a été condamné à 15 mois de prison.
The Best Broccoli of Your Life
You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.” Those were Craig’s words and they were a marked change from the first words he uttered about the broccoli, before he bit in: “You made broccoli for dinner? Broccoli and sweet potatoes?” Then he did bite in and his eyes lit up. “Oh my God,” he said. So what did I do to the broccoli to make it taste so good? I can’t take any credit. I’m going to have a hard time this week not posting all of the recipes from her new book, Back To Basics. Specifically, she loves roasting vegetables at a high temperature until they caramelize. Normally, broccoli gets squishy when you cook it. Seriously, this recipe is so easy I can recite it without looking at the book. You preheat the oven to 425. Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (I just got two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) Now, it’s easy. Related Posts: Roasted Fennel Save
12 bizarre real-life places that are stranger than science fiction
Science fiction is home to some fantastic societies, from Cloud City to Bartertown. But you doesn't have to leave reality for this—our own world has places so abnormal, they make alien societies seem ordinary. Here are 12 remarkable locations in which people once lived (and some still do). 1. Izu Islands Off the coast of Japan lies a series of volcanic islands. 2. Neft Daslari is a functional city built 34 miles from the nearest shore. 3. One of the creepiest places on Earth, Sedlec Ossuary is a Roman Catholic chapel in the Czech Republic. 4. Temperatures in this Australian mining town reach well into broiling, so the opal miners who live there have built most of their town underground. 5. In 1962, a huge underground coal deposit ignited beneath the town of Centralia, Pa. 6. It's funny how something as boring as zoning regulations could lead to one of the most exciting office buildings on the planet. 7. Inside a spectacular Spanish church sits an enormous glass box. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
