People often ask me "How did you learn how to hack?" The answer: by reading. This page is a collection of the blog posts and other articles that I have accumulated over the years of my journey. Enjoy!
- The web browser attempts to isolate all pages by default but allows some cross-domain communication. An interesting, yet new to me, method is by using the
hash. This has been documented for a long time but was not something that I knew about. - The hash of a given page can be changed by something with a completely different domain. The twitter post uses
window.openon the target window in order to do this. The post I linked above from WellCaffeinated does this by simply setting the frame source. - Why is this useful? Some pages do routing based upon the hash or use it in some other way. Being able to trigger this cross-domain can be used to have crazy effects. This is a short note but something that I wanted to remember for later.
