Titre Skillz: editing a web page
Texte So one of the skillz you ought to have in cybersec is messing with web-pages client-side using Chrome's Developer Tools. Web-servers give you a bunch of HTML and JavaScript code which, once it reaches your browser, is yours to change and play with. You can do a lot with web-sites that they don't intend by changing that code.Let me give you an example. It's only an example -- touching briefly on steps to give you an impression what's going on. It's not a ground up explanation of everything, which you may find off-putting. Click on the images to expand them so you can see fully what's going on.Today is the American holiday called "Presidents Day". It's actually not a federal holiday, but a holiday in all 50 states. Originally it was just Washington's birthday (February 22), but some states choose to honor other presidents as well, hence "Presidents Day".Thus of us who donated to Donald Trump's campaign (note: I donated to all candidates campaigns back in 2015) received an email today suggesting that to honor Presidents Day, we should "sign a card" for Trump. It's a gross dis-honoring of the Presidents the day is supposed to commemorate, but whatever, it's the 21st century.Okay, let's say we want to honor the current President with a bunch of ðŸ–•ðŸ–•ðŸ–•ðŸ–• in order to point out his crassness of exploiting this holiday, and clicked on the URL [*], and filled it in as such (with multiple skin tones for the middle finger, just so he knows its from all of us):Okay, now we hit the submit button "Add My Name" in order to send this to his campaign. The only problem is, the web page rejects us, telling us "Please enter a valid name" (note, I'm changing font sizes in these screen shots so you can see the message):This is obviously client side validation of the field. It's at this point that we go into Developer Tools in order to turn it off. One way is to [right-click] on that button, and from the popup menu, select "Inspect", which gets you this screen (yes, the original page is squashed to the left-hand side):
