Bookmarklets
A bookmarklet is an applet, a small computer application, stored as the URL of a bookmark in a web browser or as a hyperlink on a web page. The term is a portmanteau of the terms bookmark and applet. Whether bookmarklet utilities are stored as bookmarks or hyperlinks, they are designed to add one-click functionality to a browser or web page. When clicked, a bookmarklet performs some function, one of a wide variety such as a search query or data extraction. Usually the applet is a JavaScript program. (Wikipedia)
Over the pass time I have collected a bunch of interesting bookmarklets, from which a couple are security oriented, more or less, and which I’d like to share with you.
jsShell – probably one of the most appreciated bookmarklets out there. Upon execution it pops up a window in which you can execute javascript code. Among it’s great features is the props() function which displays the methods/properties of a desired element, object, string, etc.
jsEval – a quick and slick way to run small pieces of javascript code.
jsEnv – useful Bookmarklet/UserScript development environmnent. For running other small scripts, I’d still recommend the jsShell.
modCookie – easy and fast cookie tampering.
formInfo – get the information about all the forms (and it’s fields) in the active page. Has the ability to swap between form methods, and to submit them from the generated page.
formReport – same as formInfo, just less colorfull :). And without the swap and submit features.
formPassword2Text – convert all password input fields to text ones.
formHidden2Text – converts input with type hidden to text.
formNoMax – remove max length restriction.
searchOnGoogle – search website via google
findRedirects – find redirects in links
findEmailLinks – find email links in page.
findLinks – scraps all the links in the page.
searchIP – searches more domains on the same IP address.
checkSecurity – check the crossdomain.xml and robots.txt files.
viewScripts – view the currently included scripts.
viewCSS – view currently included style sheets.
