hidden12038yI'm not sure whether to laugh or facepalm, how can someone be so stupid, like I know not everyone is technologically inclined but 1. How does HTML look hard? It's literally a series of open and close statements 2. How the fuck can someone think that they can hack a bank using HTML
-
* in my best movie hacker voice * - you can use css to break through the 200 bit firewall and get into the core router framework with html and implant a hydra into the banks mesh-network.

@hidden I imagine musicians wonder how we can't read sheet music and mathematicians don't see how we can't solve that 12 page differential equation.
Knowledge gives you insight. An insight you should seek to share; not judge for its absence.
But for real, HTML? Hard? Morons. -
@ChrisCooney html (outside the basics) is actually kind of hard. especially when you are trying to structure a document in a VERY SPECIFIC way. - check the spec it's way more than body and paragraph lol.
-
hidden12038y@mattwebdev Yes there are hard aspects but there's hard aspects to anything, but given that most of HTML is not that difficult I still think that it's a stupid statement to say it looks easier that Visual Basic
-
@hidden the only thing i remember from VB is the dumb UI builder... i literally cant remember anything about its actual code.

gustash24498yDoesn't he know that all he needs is to plug in a USB drive to the ATM and click 1 through 6 to copy the money to the USB? Dumbasses, man
-
hidden12038y@ChrisCooney Yea, but everyone has a basic idea of how those things work, it's like primary school education that all notes on sheet music go from A-G or that to differentiate an equation you decrease the power by 1 multiply by the new power, there's a certain level that is not that hard to attain that is pretty much general knowledge, this is one of those things

-
hidden12038y@mattwebdev yea and, those letter would be considered within the range of A-G would they not?😕
-
@hidden but thats my point - the idea of a "basic understanding" is wrong in so many ways. a basic understanding of page structure (body, title, head, paragraph) doesn't mean you can decipher html.
just like a basic understanding of the letters used to symbolize notes doesn't mean you can decipher sheet music -
hidden12038yNo but it does mean that you should know you can't use HTML to hack a bank @mattwebdev
-
@hidden thats up for interpretation as well. to the MAJORITY of human beings code looks like code...html is the same as C is the same as bash...its all just gibberish that gets shown on a screen sometimes in movies.
Just like i don't expect people to know that a bass guitar (standard tuning) cannot play a note above a G6. -
Seriously the end of my statement was a joke. Things seem so obvious to us because we're all living in a time where there are computers doing literally everything and we are the few who can understand and manipulate them. It gives you a bit of a god complex if you're not careful!

chrizzle7268yJust to be difficult:
Phishing emails. XSS holes in HTML implementations. CSRF.
The first is probably the most difficult to protect against as its cultural and you can't patch people :) -
Jrubin968y..... I think I just shat my brain reading this thanks now I have to go bleach my hair and create a new
Global=$Brain
$Brain=True
error variable brain is no longer existent
.... great now look what's you've done -
hack a bank using html. I'll have the money in your bank account before 5. just need your bank account number so I can deposit it.
-
Those languages seem a bit overkill... Should have no problem hacking a bank in BASIC.
