I actually used Inline Javascript on a real website!

I was browsing C++ code on some website, when all of a sudden it tells me that I've viewed 5 pages of code, and that if I want to view more I'll have to make an account. Well, I didn't want to waste a minute of my life making some random account, so I checked the cookies (javascript:alert(document.cookie)).

Sure enough, one came up with a value of 5. Just to make sure it was the one, I refreshed the page and checked again, its value was now 6.

I simply changed the value of the cookie to 0, and read code in peace.

Would this website happened to have been, planet source code? It asked me the same thing. But I didn't bother to use JavaScript. I just went to a different site.

Everytime I see javascript cookies when I'm kinda practicing javascript injection, I get a bunch of numbers and letters. Are all cookies like that?

Nice job with the resourcefulness

This is pretty common for sites that you sign into. They usually keep a session cookie, or store the session ID into the cookie. That is probably what the large numbers and letters are referring to. Some sites that you don't sign into also do this.

This is one example:

Code: Select all

Research%20Selector%20State = %7B%22scopeKey%22%3A%22d5957096-29ed-4c0b-a145-287d06933057%22%2C%22bodyStyle%22%3Anull%2C%22year%22%3A%222008%22%2C%22make%22%3A%2216000000000012%22%2C%22model%22%3A%22170000000030E6%22%2C%22trim%22%3Anull%2C%22zip%22%3A%2284106%22%7D
