hacking: security in practice
[noob question] chrome, safari, firefox all give the option to store website passwords, could those passwords be easily retrieved by someone who has the backup files but doesn't have the local computer password?
this is just an example. I have a Mac, I use Chrome, safari, firefox, all have some saved website passwords. I back up my entire computer (flat files). If someone grabs my back up (lets say it's a horrible back up and it's not encrypted) are those files from Chrome, safari and firefox, are those files individually encrypted or are they just plain txt? Are those files encrypted by my local computer password?

How exactly does a simple aimbot work
Hey everyone! So the other day, I had a theory about aimbot that I wanted to test out, and it worked, but it was extremely slow and un-effective. So now, I'm wondering how normal aimbots work. How do they lock on to the player (aka, how do they decide whats a player and what isn't. The extremely rudimentary aimbot I made used color to determine what was a player, but again, that's slow and uneffective), and how do they aim for the head(is there a formula for it)? Thanks!

How to hack a Catchphrase device?
After plenty of searching I could not seem to find the word/phrase list that is used in catchphrase devices, and I am very interested in obtaining it. I was wondering if you anyone here might have any ideas on how to go about trying to get the list from the device itself?
I have no experience hacking into hardware like this, so I’m not sure if it’s possible or plausible.
Let me know what you think!

Black Hat Ethical Hacking
‘Scheme Flooding’ Allows Websites to Track Users Across Browsers
https://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/black-hat-locks-and-electronics.jpg ‘Scheme Flooding’ Allows Websites to Track Users Across BrowsersPost Views: 18
Reading Time: 1 Minute
A flaw that allows browsers to enumerate applications on a machine threatens cross-browser anonymity in Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari and even Tor.
A security researcher has discovered a vulnerability that allows websites to track users across a number of different desktop browsers — including Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Tor — posing a threat to cross-browser anonymity.
Called “scheme flooding,” the flaw “allows websites to identify users reliably across different desktop browsers and link their identities together,” Konstantin Darutkin, a researcher and developer at FingerprintJS, said in a blog post published Thursday. FingerprintJS is the publisher of a well-known browser-fingerprinting API.
The vulnerability uses custom URL schemes as an attack vector — hence its name, he explained in the post. It can assign someone a permanent unique identifier using information about installed apps on that person’s computer — even if he or she switches browsers, uses incognito mode or accesses the internet through a VPN.
“Cross-browser anonymity is something that even a privacy-conscious internet user may take for granted,” Darutkin said in his post. “A website exploiting the scheme-flooding vulnerability could create a stable and unique identifier that can link those browsing identities together.”
For instance, someone may use the Tor browser because it’s known for being “the ultimate in privacy protection;” however, it’s not as fast or high-performing as other browsers, so someone may opt to use Safari, Firefox or Chrome for some sites, and Tor when engaging in anonymous browsing activities — but the bug blows that anonymity out of the water, Darutkin explained.
See Also: Apple’s ‘Find My’ Network Exploited via Bluetooth How It WorksThe vulnerability allows an attacker to determine which applications someone has installed by generating a 32-bit cross-browser device identifier that a website can use to test a list of 32 popular applications. This identification process — which checks to see if each one is installed on a computer or not — takes a few seconds and works across desktop Windows, Mac and Linux OS, he said.
To achieve this verification, browsers can use built-in custom URL scheme handlers — also known as deep linking, which is widely used on mobile devices but also available on desktop browsers as well, Darutkin explained. The feature is illustrated like this: If someone has Skype installed and types “skype://” in a browser address bar, the browser will open and ask if the user wants to launch Skype, he said.
“Any application that you install can register its own scheme to allow other apps to open it,” Darutkin said.
Exploiting the vulnerability takes four steps:
* Prepare a list of app URL schemes to test;
* Add a script on a website that will test each app;
* Use this array to generate a permanent cross-browser identifier;
* And, as an option to glean more info about a website visitor, use algorithms to guess that user’s occupation, interests and age using installed application data.
“The actual implementation of the exploit varies by browser, however, the basic concept is the same,” Darutkin explained. “It works by asking the browser to show a confirmation dialog in a popup window. Then the JavaScript code can detect if a popup has just been opened and detect the presence of an application[...]
