Payload Box

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/11

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Payload Box.

It has lots of examples on payloads for various kinds of injections that are excellent teaching material.

Covered are Cross Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection, Server Side Template Injection, RFI/LFI, Command Injection, CSV Injection, Directory, Open Redirect and XML External Entity (XXE) Injection.

Got there when inspired by:

If you need to learn ASP.NET core or looking for specific examples, then try GitHub dodyg/practical-aspnetcore repository

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/05

[Wayback/Archive] dodyg/practical-aspnetcore: Practical samples of ASP.NET Core 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 projects you can use. Readme contains explanations on all projects.

By the time you read this, all examples should have been rewritten to use minimal API footprint so it easier to get just the essentials from each example.

Via [Wayback/Archive] dodyg on Twitter: “I just realized this repo has about around 1500 samples in total because for each version of ASP.NET Core the samples get modified in some ways beyond project increment, e.g for .NET 6, all samples gets rewritten to use minimal API.”

A Couple of Quick Bookmarklets For Viewing a Suspended / Deleted Twitter User – ResearchBuzz

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/04

The WordPress feature that “beautifies” (malforms!) your Blog text is called `wptexturize`: on WordPress.com you cannot disable it.

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/03

Over the years, WordPress started to beautify more and more text thereby malforming many (read thousands) of my older blog posts.

An example is this:

--jeroen

is now rendered as

–jeroen

The two hypen-minus signs or -- have become a en-dash or , not even an em-dash or that is is double the width of an en-dash.

So after figuring out the cause, I asked if one could change it for a WordPress.com blog backed by a premium account: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Hi @wordpressdotcom, how do I globally disable wptexturize for a paid wiert.wordpress.com blog (it has Premium subscription)? Over the years, it has malformed more and more of my text which I don’t want (as it is way too much work to re-visit thousands of blog posts).”

Unbelievably, the answer is no!

So WordPress.com mandatorily changes the display of all your old Premium blog posts and the only solution they offer is to upgrade for another USD ~17 per month to disable it.

Bridgy Fed – bridges to/from BlueSky, Fediverse (including Mastodon) and many web-sites

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/29

I bumped into [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed a while ago. The highlights:

Source is written in Python and HTML. It is available from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy-fed: 🌉 A bridge between decentralized social network protocols.

The blog post re-introducing it: [Wayback/Archive] Re-introducing Bridgy Fed | snarfed.org.

There is docs too: [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy Fed: docs

Bridgy Fed is a kind of a spin-off from the longer existing [Wayback/Archive] Bridgy which has documentation at [Wayback/Archive] About – Bridgy and source code at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – snarfed/bridgy: 📣 Connects your web site to social media. Likes, retweets, mentions, cross-posting, and more….

Via [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy) — Bluesky who’s primary social media presence is at [Wayback/Archive] Ionica Smeets (@ionica@mathstodon.xyz) – Mathstodon.

I created my [Wayback/Archive] wiert.me profile – Bridgy Fed which resulted in these two entities (that by the time you read this should have some updates):

javascript – Open a URL in a new tab (and not a new window) – Stack Overflow

TL;DR: you can force opening a new Window over a new Tab, but not the other way around.

Any YouTube ID is a YouTube ID which means you can use any shorts ID and music ID to watch as a YouTube URL (adding functionality shorts and music URLs lack)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/24

YouTube has diversified its content separating out YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.

The main YouTube viewing experience has a few advantages over the other two experiences:

  1. content can be monetised
  2. content can arranged into lists (including Watch Later)
  3. auto-play can be turned off

All below links have the same ID, but the ones with checkmarks can use all the above features whereas the ones with crosses cannot.

XKCD to ExplainXKCD Bookmarklet

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/21

Sometimes the XKCD episodes are hard to get, so I wanted a Bookmarklet to navigate to [Wayback/Archive] explain xkcd.

Here is the regular expression to change the domain name part if it matches: [Wayback/Archive] regex101: build, test, and debug regex: VI34VW with this generated sed code:

A truckload of links which I need for some Bookmarklets work

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/31

A while ago, browser tabs were overflowing again so I first mad the list of links with quotes below, then discovered there is a template for many browser tabs open at [Wayback/Archive] To many browser tabs open Meme Generator – Imgflip

One of the reasons is that the WordPress “Press This” bookmarklet is very slow and also flaky at escaping HTML (for instance the below html – Why shouldn’t &amp;apos; be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow sometimes becomes html – Why shouldn’t <code>'</code> be used to escape single quotes? – Stack Overflow in [Wayback/Archive] Press This – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org especially when running it from Archive Today archived pages).

So here we go: Read the rest of this entry »
