How come Web Servers knows whether you are accessing the content from a desktop or handheld device like mobile using a particular web browser and able to provide content that is tailored for your specific browser?

When you visit a web page, your browser sends the user-agent string to the server hosting that site that you are visiting. This string indicates which browser you are using, its version number and details about your system, such as operating system and version.

The user-agent header identifies the application requesting the information from the server. If we could modify this user-agent, we can fool the server.

If you are interested to check what user-agent string does your browser Firefox provide to the web servers. Type this JS in your web browser.

javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent)

Now coming back how can we emulate Apple iPhone browser using Firefox. This comes in handly when you want to browse website that are designed specifically for the iPhone like http://www.apnews.com

You have the option to edit the user-agent string manually or by using firefox extension. The second option which I prefer as I can easy switch between different user-agent with just a mouse click.

- Install the User Agent Switcher extension for firefox and restart the browser.

- Now switch to iPhone user-agent.
Go to Tools –> Default User Agent and select iPhone 3.0 user agent

Type again the JS code mentioned above, to find out how Iphone user-agent string look like.

Now browse any website which is custom designed for mobiles.

Here is the snapshot, how Google.com will look in iPhone.

Njoy iPhone browsing experience on desktop !!

Have you ever wondered is it possible to hide some secret files inside pictures? My answer is YES. You can hide important documents inside picture and transport them safely and to anyone that looks at it, it will be a plain picture file.

You just need any RAR compression tool to achieve this task. If you do not have RAR compression utility installed on your pc, you can download one from here and install it.

Now choose any picture file which you like to transport having secret files hidden in it.

I have chosen picture of beautiful Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif (KatrinaKaif.jpg) and secret file (secret.txt) to work with.

I have copied these two files inside folder C:\\picture. Let’s begin hiding secret.txt file inside this picture. Right click on the file secret.txt and select “add to secret.rar”. This will create a file secret.rar inside C:\\picture folder.

Next, click on “Start” Menu from Windows XP taskbar and click on “Run”. Run dialog box will pop up, type “cmd” and press OK, which will open the command prompt. Change directory to C:\\picture by typing command “cd C:\\picture”.

Now type following command

copy /b KatrinaKaif.jpg + secret.rar picture.jpg

to create picture.jpg.

The newly created picture.jpg will look same as KatrinaKaif.jpg but with secret files hidden in it.

You can send this picture.jpg to anyone without disclosing the secret file directly.

But how to get this hidden secret.txt file back? To get back the secret file you need to open picture.jpg in WinRAR tool to extract the secret.txt file.

This article will help you to find saved passwords of anyone who uses Mozilla Firefox on your pc to surf Internet.

When user uses Mozilla Firefox to surf Internet, he is often asked to save password which get stored in Mozilla Firefox. Let me illustrate here how to reveal password saved in Mozilla Firefox.

Here I am signing to my Gmail account by entering my username and password.

Mozilla Firefox will prompt me if I wanted Firefox to remember the password. If I choose “Remember”, the password gets stored in Mozilla Firefox for “neerajk” on google.com.

In order to view saved passwords click on Tools and select Options as shown here.

Options panel will pop up. You can see the button labeled as “Saved Passwords”, just Click on it.
