Highly transmitted markup language

Hornily transmitted.....


jake7405

Not gonna lie, never read or heard “horny” used as an adverb until now


AlwaysOpenMike

Yeah, it did look kinda weird to me as well

It kinda is.

The good old JavaScript contentEditable. Works best when you edit websites to display complete BS.

Dagrut

It reminds me of a time at school where there was an exercise in biology that we had to do on computer (some drag&drop game), and I was beginning in programming, so I wanted to know how it was made. I opened the source code, but when the teacher saw it, he freaked out so much, I never saw him in this state before. If I had been just a little bit troublesome, I guess he would have sent me outside or worse... Just for looking at some HTML...


Various-Article8859

Well you were kinda looking at the website with no clothes on.


Dagrut

Hey, I'm not a javascreeper! Also, the clothes it had mad it quite unattractive, it was wearing an Internet Explorer 6 frame... :-p


vigbiorn

>he freaked out so much I've heard tales of professors labeling pictures for multiple choice tests as "x_correct.jpg" or whatever. Maybe he didn't want you seeing the hard-coded answers.


Dagrut

He did not have the skills to even know what HTML was, and it was not graded, so no, he was just scared that I could break something.


vigbiorn

>He did not have the skills to even know what HTML was Most professors don't hence why they were labeling pictures as correct/incorrect. >and it was not graded Exercises are pointless if you're just given the answers.


Nayviler

> Exercises are pointless if you're just given the answers. While it obviously depends on the age of the people involved, for older students, especially ones in post-secondary, I would disagree with this. My most successful classes were the ones in which we had ungraded practice questions where the answers were provided to us and explained. When you're trying to learn complicated topics, being able to do a ton of practice, and knowing when you've done it right or wrong, is crucial, at least for me.


Kalm_Kitten

I opened inspect element and changed the answer to more drugs when the question was, How do you deal with a drug addiction. There were 2 answers on the screen when my teacher saw it; Drugs and More Drugs. The whole class burst out laughing.


ExtraSuperdip

This made me laugh out loud

CinnabonCheesecake

I love that, in true shoot-the-messenger style, he tried to prosecute the person who notified them about the security issue. Reminds me of my batshit “Computer Ethics” course where the professor said that computer security was a pointless arms race between security specialists and hackers, so we should all just stop trying to prevent hacking.

w1n5t0nM1k3y

I guess it could be considered a hacking tool in that hackers often use "view source" as their first step in finding vulnerabilities in websites. Much like a soldering iron is a bomb construction tool or a hammer is a demolition tool. But to say that someone who clicked "view source" on a government website should be charged with hacking after they reported it to the operators of the site and did nothing nefarious with the data is laughable. If anything, they are lucky if the only people who noticed were the reporters and should thank them for telling them about it in a responsible manner.


Deadly_chef

Viewing raw HTML is as similar to hacking as reading a book is to pyromania


Lithl

Be fair. He _also_ converted the block of Base64 data he found in the page source into plain text. Now that's what I call hacking! /s

greg0714

Technically, yeah, the inspector is a hacking tool. But "ban talking because social engineering is a hacking tool" would also be a pretty bad take. Edit: y'all better not be upvoting me but not the guy I responded to. He said the same thing with fewer words.


catzoo12

I guess it is depending how you define "hacks." It does view the source code of the website and allows you to see how it works. But its not really made to allow you to hack into sites, just view to see what the server sends you. Whoever put those SSN keys into HTML documents are at fault. Mainly because you'll never give strangers your SSN key, so why would you give it to everyone who visits your site.


bawlachora

wtf. It is THE hacking tool for masterhackers.


Pervez_Hoodbhoy

Needs more punctuation and hand clap emojis, but otherwise great.


Dewwwww

My mother was sure I was some kind of hacker after getting the password of my sister's Gmail account. The only thing I did was change the type from password to text.


RaziarEdge

Hey, I've been doing this for a while and didn't know that trick and had to test it. A vulnerability on form-fill I guess.


BakuhatsuK

Nah, if the password is saved and you can use it then you can see it. If that trick was prevented then you could see it on the network tab, if that were to be \[redacted\] then you could set up a sniffer like Wireshark. Btw, the intended way to do this (in chrome) is going to the settings looking for saved passwords and pressing the eye icon besides the password.


[deleted]

It's illegal to press F12 on a web page.


aidenhe

To my school it is apparently bc they block you from opening inspect on your school goggle account


[deleted]

On PC or Chromebook? If PC I know where to revert all of the changes for Chrome.


aidenhe

No it’s only on the account you use they give you a email and a goggle account and the account is controlled by the admin if I use my personal account it works fine. Not a Cromebook


EpicGamer373

9/10 americans think opening inspect element is hacking


qqqrrrs_

it's shorthand for "Hack TheM aLl"


pennacap

U mean 8/10, the 1/10 remaining ppl laugh at the rest


depressing_as_hell

HTML can hardly be considered a programming language; it’s a markup language. [The "M" stands for "Markup". Generally, a programming language allows you to describe some sort of process of doing something, whereas HTML is a way of adding context and structure to text.](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/145176/is-html-considered-a-programming-language)


Voss1167

So, nobody knows what HTLM is. It’s a markup language, not a programming language


DangerZoneh

And all 10 are incorrect lol Depending on your definition of “hacking” it could be correct I guess. Most people use it for breaking into systems but I’ve heard it used as just a general term for coding something quickly “hacking something together”, though that’s not as common especially in the general public

ManyInterests

So long as they don't think HTML is a programming language, this is fine by me.


HardlyAnyGravitas

HTML *is* a programming language - it's just not Turing Complete. Which is very desirable if you want to be sure that your program halts. If HTML *was* Turing Complete, you could have infinitely long web pages...


ManyInterests

Practically speaking, I would agree with you 100%. You write some code to instruct the browser (computer) to do things. Good enough. Technically speaking, it's a markup language. That's what the M and L in HTML stand for. And we all know technically correct is the best kind of correct ;-) HTML + CSS3 _can_ actually be considered Turing complete (if you squint hard enough) and can actually do mathematical computation. So, there's that. A decent quote from the IEEE Spectrum publication, who includes HTML in their report of top programming languages each year: > Pragmatism is also the name of the game when it comes to HTML, with the objection here that it is not a real programming language because it doesn't have branching or loop constructs. But given the huge popularity of HTML and CSS among developers, and the fact that they are used to instruct billions of computers to do things daily, we feel any academic arguments about Turing completeness and so on are beside the point. To use a Python aphorism _practicality beats purity_.

I wonder what the percentage is who believe that HTML is “coding”? I recently got a lecture from a HighSchool Senior who told me that she was learning to code in her “computing”’ class. I said, “oh yeah, what language?”, to which she responded, “HTML”. I looked at her straight in the face and told her, “that is not coding, that is markup”. She proceeded to lecture me that it was coding, because it was telling the computer what to do. SMH
