How to generate HTML using Javascript ?

Image
Dynamic HTML is not a new markup language. It is a collection of technologies (generally HTML, CSS and JavaScript) which changes the document content once it is loaded into a web browser. Some examples for dynamism in a web document are given below: Changes to document content on user interactions or after a specified time interval or on specific browser events. Moving elements to new positions. Making elements disappear and reappear. Changing the colour of the background and foreground. Changing the font properties of elements. Changing the content of the elements. Overlapping elements in stack order. Allow dragging and dropping elements anywhere in the browser window. Writing explicit editing instructions in or around text is generally known as  marking up  text. While creating web pages, we use markup (tags) which specifies the browser how it should display the text (bold, underline, big text etc…). In the early 1990’s a new language was created, Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML.

Reasons Why Hackers Prefer Linux Over Everything Else

Image
Linux Is Open Source Unlike Windows, Linux is open source. What that means for us is that the source code of the operating system is available to us. As such, we can change and manipulate it as we please. If you are trying to make a system operate in ways it was not intended, being able to manipulate the source code is essential. Think of it this way. Could you imagine Microsoft giving us a plug-in/MMC or whatever to manipulate or change the kernel of Windows for hacking? Of course NOT! Linux Is Transparent To hack effectively, you must know and understand your operating system and to a large extent, the operating system you are attacking. Linux is totally transparent, meaning we can see and manipulate all its working parts. Not so with Windows. Microsoft tries hard to make it as difficult or impossible to know the inner workings of their operating systems. As a result, when working with Windows you are working with “shadows” of what you think is going on under the hood, whereas in Lin

Facebook Knows A Lot About Your “Offline Life” Too, Without Even Telling You

Facebook obtains information about you from commercial data providers. It can include things like salary details, purchase information, eating habits, interests, etc. Facebook doesn’t tell people about this data which powers their Ad platform. A recent study conducted by ProPublica has shed more light on this matter. F acebook tracks what you like, share, comment, and watch. It uses the data to power its ever-growing advertising platform which is a significant part of the company’s income resources. They know if you hate Donald Trump or not, you recently watched a superhero movie or some chilling horror flick. Personally, I have observed that the items I browse on the internet are likely to show up in my news feed. That’s the level of interest Facebook has in our lives. However, they admit this thing, and their policies reflect it. Anyways, to some extent, it is fine if Facebook follows us just on the internet to serve better ads. A report  published  by ProPublica throws light on the

10 Best Password Managers For Linux Operating Systems

Image
With so many online accounts on the internet, it can be tediously difficult to remember all your passwords. Many people write them down or store them in a document, but that’s plain insecure. There are many password managers for Windows and OS X, but here we’ll look at some of the best password managers for Linux. W e’ve all been in that position where we’ve forgotten a password and had to do a password recovery, whether it be for an email account, social media, and sometimes something more important. It’s very convenient to write passwords down or store them in a handy document. But, it’s unfortunately very insecure. Anyone with read access to those files can obtain all your private information, and worse yet, your identity. This is where password managers shine. Password managers can secure your passwords with powerful encryption algorithms. The end result is that you only have to remember one password to be able to gain access to all your other passwords, while this may be a single
