*taps gently on your window* you said you like the history of chicago? do you have any fun facts specifically related to the history of chicago as the original and eternal capital of pinball? any tidbits that ideally would beyond those found in a typical timeline of pinball history? (ignore this ask if you don’t know anything and/or aren’t interested in the topic ofc)

Weirdly enough, I do! Maybe not a lot, but I know that---much like alcohol---Chicago tried to ban gambling and gaming periodically throughout the 20th century. And I know that---also like alcohol---they failed, completely and utterly.

For those of you not in the know, Chicago technically "banned" pinball games from the 40s to the 70s. Technically, the city enforced such prohibitions.

Technically.

Due to selective enforcement and honestly, people just straight up ignoring the law, Chicago became a powerhouse of gaming activity anyway. Pinball games were part and parcel of that process. I'm talking about Chicago Coin, which was founded in the 1930s, but didn't achieve true success until they started churning out pinball games in the 1960s and 70s. Bally Manufacturing was into pinball games and slot machines long before it ever sold tennis rackets and activewear. Williams Electronics/WMS industries hit the jackpot in 1981 when it produced Defender. (The company has since moved to Las Vegas.) There's a whole complicated history to explore, and I highly encourage everyone to do so.

However, my absolute favorite bit of writing about the city and its symbiotic relationship with pinball is this Chicago Reader piece. It's very clearly an elegy to a dying art form---written in 2005, it's clear that the world of pinball machines is passing away. Still, it loves the arcades of old. Even today pinball games represent an enormous, significant weight on the fabric of the city; sitting in my apartment right now, I'm about a 10 minute walk away from the nearest pinball machine. (Maybe less, I haven't been to every bar in my neighborhood.)

In short, there's a reason that the Pinball Expo has been happening here since 1985---Chicago is the uncrowned queen of the flippers.

So who cares if John E. Cassidy tried to ban them, or that there was an even older 1895 prohibition against mechanical gambling devices? They're as Chicagoan as ketchup-less hotdogs, and complaining about construction on the Kennedy.

Can Website Data Be Deleted?

Can Website Data Be Deleted? If you want to delete your browsing history and website data, there are several ways to do it. You can clear your cookies and caches, clear your browsing history, or restart your browser. You can also log out of websites and change the functionality of their homepages. Safari allows you to clear your website data on a site-by-site basis. Clearing browsing history and website data The Chrome app has a tool that allows you to clear browsing history and website data. Click the three stacked dots at the top of the screen and select "More." Next, click "History." Click "Clear browsing history and website data." Next, you will be given the option to select the time range to clear. Once you have selected a time range, select the items you want to remove. Clearing your web browser's cache and history is a good idea if you are experiencing performance problems. It can also help you fix website issues, such as partially loaded webpages or poorly formatted pages. Also, it will free up some memory. Clearing cookies and caches When you use a website that uses cookies, your browser will add these files to your computer. Cookies make the website work properly, but they also take up disk space. Clearing cookies and caches can help your computer get rid of this data. To clear your cookies and caches, click the menu button and select Settings. From there, choose Privacy & Security. Select Cookies and Site Data. Select the Clear Data button to remove cookies that store your login status, stored images, and cached web content. Click the Clear History button to clear all recent history and all cookies. While deleting cookies isn't necessarily harmful, you should keep in mind that deleting cookies and caches may affect the speed of certain sites. If you're logged into a website, clearing the cache may cause the site to load slower or won't work properly. Incognito mode Incognito mode is a feature in your browser that allows you to browse websites without saving any data on them. This mode deletes cookies and browsing history when you close the browser window. However, the files you download while browsing a website in this mode will remain on your device. If you're concerned that the files you download contain sensitive information, you should delete them from your device. Although it's a good idea to keep your private browsing private, incognito mode still allows websites to track you online. Your favorite sites, your location, browser type, and other information may be stored in websites' databases. Fortunately, most browsers wipe out this history when you close your browser, but it's not completely secure. Websites also use what's called a DNS cache to store information on which sites you visit. This is the information that's used to match URLs to IP addresses. Restarting browsers Restarting your browser can clear your history and cache, and resolve performance issues. Clearing these data can fix site loading problems, and can be done on desktop browsers as well. Just press Ctrl-Shift-Delete on your keyboard to open the browser menu. Restarting your browser will not completely clear your internet history, and it's not a guaranteed solution. Most browsers store copies of web pages they visit in their memory, and they can cause errors if the pages change. Clearing your browser's cache will reset its memory to the most recent information. Requesting deletion of website data Consumers have the right to request the deletion of personal data that websites collect about them. They can do this by calling a toll-free number or by filling out a form on a business's website. In addition, they can submit their requests through email or in writing. The regulations require that big companies serving more than 10 million California residents provide a method for submitting deletion requests. Generally, organisations must notify consumers of their request for erasure within 10 business days. In addition, they must take reasonable steps to notify the website about the request. However, they can refuse to remove information if it would take them an unreasonable amount of time. Can Website Data Be Deleted? Read the full article

Hey Red, I'm sure your aware of Comicaurora's website being down - (whenever I click on the home page or any of the other links - like the archive button) it just redirects me a "internal server error" page.

Do you know when the website might be back up and running??

P.S: I am Very Excited to read it, I am a long time fan of osp and I look forward to reading your comic!

Long story short, the server is overloaded. There have been an average of 80 concurrent users active on the site at any given time for the past 24 hours, all of them trying to get through almost 400 pages, each page sending several html inquiries to various files.

There are things I can do on my end, but none of them are fast - changing my hosting plan, switching hosts, mirroring to another site, etc are all long-term options that'd take weeks or months to do. Frankly the odds are good that the traffic will die down significantly in the next few days and the site will go back to its expected daily load of a few thousand people checking in on update days. I'd be surprised if things are still dicey in a week - and if they are I'm planning on looking into upgrading to a beefier hosting plan, which'll hopefully solve the problem once and for all.

Until then, I've found a few workarounds:

-Loading a page in an incognito window seems to always work the first time - probably something about the site cache. Opening a second page in the same incognito session is about 50-50 on the failure rate, though, so you might need to close and reopen the specific page you're on.

-Different browsers are more or less reliable. I've found an incognito window in Firefox has worked almost flawlessly for me, even loading multiple pages quickly one after another. Chrome, on the other hand, is very spotty.

-If all else fails, the fan discord has an unofficial mirror of all the current pages somewhere in there - if you ask around they'll be able to help you out.

SIGNAL BOOST

SUPPORT YONGGUK’S SOLO ALBUM

BABYz, it’s almost time and Yongguk’s first solo album will be released! I for one am super excited as it’s literally a dream come true for me personally! Are you as excited as I am? Only 5 more days to go!!

I am sure Yongguk will upload the MV to “Hikikomori” to his Youtube channel (or possibly to Consentmedia’s if they already have one) – and this is where we (you & me!) come in!

We all know that sadly our fandom (BABYz/B.A.P’s) is not as big as it used to be…so there is not all that much attention on what the guys are doing. Which means we will have to work hard to get them the recognition they deserve!

Yongguk’s doing his best to establish his solo career here (any maybe lay groundwork for when B.A.P comes back?!) so let’s support him as best we can!

THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUTUBE VIEWS

YouTube views are extremely important. As we know, Korean music shows count them to decide weekly winners. The views will determine how popular the group/artist is internationally and are converted to points together with SNS popularity. The artist also gets paid depending on the number of views/clicks – and we all know that Yongguk probably paid for the production of his album all by himself, so he depends on the success of it! More views also mean the video will get featured more often on the start page and/or next to relevant/related videos which will increase his popularity & thus the chance of more views and maybe even new fans!

OUR GOAL

2 Million in 24 hours

Every view counts! Now, how do we increase the views successfully?

Sadly, Youtube has caught on to how we increased views in the past, so simply having the video on loop (and possible muted) won’t work anymore. Here are the steps / different methods to make our views count:

Computor/Laptop

1. Please use a browser that uses addons/extensions (Chrome, Firefox etc)

2. Download extensions for Auto Reload (or Auto Refresh), Auto HD and Adblock and enable them

3. For Auto HD, the quality should be 720p or more to guarantee a view, as for Auto Reload, set it to 5 min (Or 4 min 30 sec if you have a fast internet)

4. Disable Autoplay on youtube and play the MV

5. Make sure to delete your cookies and history before rewatching to increase views!

6. Use a VPN to hide your ip address so that your ip isn't marked as spam!

Android/iPhone

1.    Open youtube and play the Music Video.

2.    After it ends, close the video and go to settings.

3.    From settings, go to the privacy section and delete your watch history.

4.    Rewatch the mv and repeat step 1-2

Creating a playlist

1. If you want to create a Playlist, create one with the official MV and his official performances (at least 3 videos) from your YouTube account. MAKE SURE YOU SET THE PLAYLIST IN PUBLIC.

- Get the link and log out from your account.

- Open an incognito tab and load your Playlist.

- Set the Playlist on autoplay.

REMEMBER TO CLEAR HISTORY AND DELETE COOKIES EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE

 2. Loop a Playlist on incognito in one window, use auto refresh on another window and occasionally watch the MV after another video on the third window.

 3. Use as many streaming devices as you can - Computer, ipad/tablets, phone and use the Playlist method.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR STREAMING

1. Don’t stream in incognito mode (if it’s not a playlist!) as that wouldn’t increase views and would be counted as spam!

2. Don’t stream the video by putting it on loop (for browsers) as it will not increase views! Loop will work if you have it on a playlist!!

3. Don’t pause or increase/decrease the speed of the music video! You need to be logged in as well!

4. If you’re not using an adblock watch out for ads because they make sure your view is being counted!

5. Some browsers do need to be logged out and in to stream but I haven’t had a problem streaming the way I mentioned!

6. You can always try the “easy” version by logging out, deleting history and logging back in to stream!

7. The volume has to be at 50% or higher. If you intended to just have it play in the background, mute your pc/speakers, not youtube itself or use headphones (you don`t actually have to wear them 😉 ).

8. Watch at least 2-3 videos before rewatching “Hikikomori” as there has to be a gap for the views to be counted, otherwise it will be counted as spam and deleted. You could always watch one of Yongguk’s other MVs such as “Yamazaki” or “Drunkenness” to support him further!

9. YouTube is trying to get rid of low-quality playback, they analyze a collection of views to distinguish those that are real compared to those that are 'robot-like'. So with that in mind, show YouTube that you are human, stream in high-quality.

10. Remember to clear your cookies every 9 – 15 views or else Youtube will probably catch on to what you’re doing!

11. Like, comment & share the MV: Share the link on all your social media accounts (Twitter, fb, Tumblr, etc.), clicks from shared links will count as views. Ask all your friends!!! THE MORE VIEWS AND COMMENTS AN MV HAS, THE MORE IT IS SUGGESTED ON EVERY OTHER KPOP MVS.

That’s it! I know it sounds like a lot of work but I promise it isn`t as difficult as it sounds at first. 😊

Please keep in mind that Yongguk is working very hard to bring something awesome to us again and that he tends to work too much and too long because he wants it to be perfect for us. Show him how much we appreciate and love him for it! Please also remember the topic of “Hikikomori”. Yongguk is putting himself out there to address the issue and it seriously hits close to home. Not only for himself but to many of us I imagine. That takes a lot of courage and bravery, so please show him how much we respect him for it!

There are also a number of other fan projects out there, check them out and participate if possible!

Marichat May Day 19- Flowers

Marinette bite her lip as she twirled the flower between her fingers. It was a single red carnation, simple but beautiful. Dispite being one small flower, it held so much meaning to Marinette, it held her feelings.

She didn’t know when it happened exactly but she slowly started to fall in love with her ridiculous partner.

It started some time after the young man started to hang around Marinette’s roof after dark. She assumed he thought he was being sly, watching guard to her room every night. Some nights, when she lied awake in bed in the early hours of the night, she heard his food steps and if she was lucky enough she caught glimpses of his silhouette.

After about a week of him appearing on her roof every night, and every night not making his presences known, to talk about what was on his mind, Marinette decided to ask herself.

She went through the left over sweets from the bakery picking out, her favourites and setting them up on a tray. She also grabbed two mugs from the kitchen, emptying a hot chocolate satchet in each, She filled up a thermo with boiled water and on her way to her room she grabbed the almost empty carton of milk.

“Woah, sweetheart.” Her Papa tease, eyeing her tray of sweets. “Someone’s hungry.”

Marinettes face blushed at his comment but she was more concerned on him saying something about the extra mug she had. She didn’t want to have to explain that it was for a superhero that was stalking her. Luckily for her, he didn’t seem to noticed and she quickly excused herself. She had to carry everything up the later in three seperate loads but evernturally everything was ready.

She was about to climb onto her bed and scroll through her social media accounts while she waited for him to arrive before she caught sight of herself in her bedroom mirror. She didn’t look bad, per say, she just could of looked better. She checked the time, she had roughly 10- 20 minutes before he normally came around, plenty of time to change. She didn’t dress up over the top, settling for a nicer pair of pjs and putting her hair up in a bun.

It wasn’t long after she was dressed that he arrived. She remember the look of shock on his face as her sunlight window opened up and she popped her head through, giving him a cheeky smile. She disappeared for a second before returning with her treats for the night. Chat was shocked to say the least but he thanked the girl anyway as they ate and drank in silence. She didn’t asked him what was on his mind, nor did they ever talk about it again. It just became routine for them. Chatnoir would meet her on her roof almost every night, Marinette would bring whatever left overs the bakery had and they would enjoy each others company. Her original reasons to comfort him long forgotten.

Marinette hated to admitted it but in that time she fell for him hard, harder then she fell for Adrien. He acted so different with Marinette than with Ladybug, less flirty and right up in your face. He was a normal person, he mad corny jokes and was a goofball still, that wouldn’t change but she felt more connected with him, they disscused their hopes and dreams, their fears and everything in between.

That lead her to now, waiting on the roof, curled under a blanket to help fight of the bite of chill night air as she waited, flower in her hand.

She had mulled this over in her mind for sometime now. She was going to confress to Chatnoir, at first she denied her feelings, when she couldn’t contain smiles around him or they funny feelings she got in her stomach when she looked at him, she finally admitted to herself but still keep quiet. When she went to school one day and heard Adrien talk about some mystery girl he had feelings for, she was suprised she didn’t mind, that as long as she had her kitty she was find, she decided to admit her feelings to Tikki then. The little Kwami was beyond thrilled. She was happy to keep everything as is was, she thought her crush was kind of silly and would pass,until she didn’t. One night, they were sitting together wordlessly scrolling through Marinette’s phone, watching funny videos from time and time again. When she felt it, a strong feeling of love just bloomed in her chest and filled her with such contentment and joy, like she had waited her whole life to just arrive here at this uneventful moment. That it was all worth it to be in Chat present, by his very side.

She realised that she wanted to spend the rest of her life by his side, not only fighting crime but together, on dates, late nights at home, by an alter in a church even as they put their children to bed.

She was shocked and scared and she didn’t know what to do. She knew she had to tell him, that dispite how awkward and scared she was with her feelings for Adrien she wouldn’t let that happen all over again with Chat. She needed to be direct and she needed to tell him soon, before these feelings bursted out of her in the form of word vomit.

She spend the whole next day thinking of what to say, she practiced with Tikki and even rehearsed in front of the mirror, but each time she ended up a bumbling mess.

She tried to write a letter for him, but having those words, theses hopes for the future written out, like physical evidence, made her bashful and she had to destroy the very paper it was on.

She ended up turning to google, an incognito tab of course, and let her explosion of emotion out into the search bar.

Her first question for the search engine was long and didn’t make much sense, googling came up with zero results and a lot of suggestions to fix her spelling errors.

Her second go was a little bit better. She hastily typed in the words;

‘How to tell your work partner/best friend you love them? Expecially when they love someone else that is actually you in secret do I like give them flowers? Ask him on a date? Propose?!”

Google had results this time, none of what she actually needed. She scrolled down the page, disappointed with the results. She was about to close the tab when one result caught her eye.

‘Telling someone you love them with flowers.’

She clicked the link and was amazed at the article that came up. Apparently each flower had a meaning, their own secret language. It was very popular to present someone with a flower or bouquet made up of flowers with different meanings to portray your emotions.

She spend half an hour scrolling through the different flowers and their meanings. Trying to find the perfect flower, they didn’t have one specific flower with what she was feeling, they had many different once’s that broke it up though. She considered making him a bouquet but decided agaisnt it, she had limited time, resources and money. After one finally scroll, she decided on what flower she wanted and luckily for her, she knew a small florist that sold them. She quickly grabbed her purse, with Tikki inside and ran out the door to go buy it. Hoping they had it in the right shade!

Marinette was disrupted from her thoughts by the sound of Chatnoir arriving on her roof, greeting her with a soft hello. He smiled at her and hungrily eyed the treats she had laid out. She quickly hide the flower on her lap with the blanket covering it, she carefully made sure not to crush it.

“Help yourself, Kitty.” She poured the hot water into their mugs, the same two she grabbed on their first night. She fiddle with the flower, nerves getting the best of her.

“Are you okay?” Chat asked, mouth full of food. he swallowed what he was chewing before speaking again. “I always here if you need me Princess.”

Marinette felt butterflies, no wait! in Paris Butterflies were bad, she felt a swarm of Miraculous Ladybugs fluttering in her stomach, instantly easing her nerves much like her own Ladybugs that constenly fixed the city. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes and readying herself.

“Marinette, What’s- ?” Chat called lightly but got cut off as Marinette shoves the flower out towards his chest, her head bowed down causing her dark hair to curtain her face, successfully hiding her blush.

“Wha..?” Chat stuttered out, his face burning bright red. With a shaky hand he took the red carnation between his own fingers. He curse himself at the electricity he felt when his fingers brushed agaisnt hers. He cleared his throat as he inspected the flower, a few petals have been broken off in her haste to give it to him but all in all it was still beautiful.

He was disrupted from his throughs by Marinette standing up, quickly. Knocking the tray of pastries with her knee. Chat’s instincts instantly reacted, he reached out and caught the tray, only losing one Macaroon, he popped it into his mouth anyway.

“Just.. google search the meaning behind it.” She stuttered, quickly grabbing her blanket and retreating back into her bedroom. Chat stood there confused.

“Wait, Marinette where are you going?” Chat stood as well, placing the tray back down on the small coffee table.

“I have...Uh- stuff to do, yeah, very busy! Take the treats, chill out here if you want. I don’t mind just remember to search the meaning of a red carnation.” She awkwardly said as she looked up at him through her sunlight window, geasturing wildly with her hands, it reminded him of how Marinette acted with him as Adrien. Suddenly her blues eyes widen “Not here though! Do it whenever you go home, okay bye!” With that she practically slammed the small window shut. She turned off her light and climbed into bed instantly, begging for sleep to come and take her. That just went awfully!

Chat stood frozen on her roof, did he say something wrong? He found himself frowning as he sat on one of the sun chairs as he thought. He idily took a bite out of a cupcake before spottting the red carnation on the ground, he must have dropped it when he dove for the sweets. He glanced down into Marinettes window,the light was off and with the help of his night vision he was able to see the outline of her body under the blanket.

What was she trying to tell him?

He knew that whatever message she was trying get acrosss, she wanted him to discover in the privacy of his own house, or at the very least not in her presence. He sat forward, grabbing his baton from his back and fiddle with it. He glanced at Marinette again, as far as he could tell, she was asleep.

He pressed the paw print button and opened up the control menu on his weapon, opening the internet browser.

He typed into the search engine bar,

“What do red carnations symbolise?”

He ears, face and neck all blushed a dark pink as he read the results.

Light red carnations mean admiration and dark red carnations represent deep love and affection. He glance down at the flower, it was definitely dark red. Did Marinette love him?

“Didn’t I tell you to wait till you got home, Kitty?” A voice scrowled him. He jumped, whipping his head toward the small window to see Marinette, half leaning out it. She wore a teasing smirk on her face but he could see her cheeks lightly blushed in the light the moon provided.

“I, Uh...” Chat stuttered he couldn’t come up with a good enough excuse for disobeying her direct orders. He settle on clamping his mouth shut, hoping she’d would explain herself and the flower. Antense and awkward silence hung in the air around the two teenagers as they avoided eye contact. Finally they both settled on staring at the carnation. “So..” Chat said as he scratched his Adam’s apple, he didn’t know what to do.

“Listen, I’m sorry about that.” Marinette said as she geastured to the flower. “It was a really dumb idea and in hind sight I can see that it wouldve been easier for me to just out right tell you.”

“Tell me?” Chat gulped. Marinette glanced down into her bedroom and for a heartbreaking second, Chat thought she was going to leave again.

“I love you Chatnoir!” She breathed out. “I thought my heart belonged to someone else, Adrien but I was wrong! You easily stole it and if I loved Adrien truely I wouldn’t have fallen for you! This thing, theses feelings are so overwhelming! I don’t think I’ve ever felt like this before with anyone and now I feel like a fool for ever thinking I could love anyone else.”

Chat felt, more then heard, a ringing sensation in his hear, he felt light headed and giddy and for a second he swore he was going to pass out. Marinette started at him expectantly but his brain couldn’t supply him with why? He was too busy celebrating the fact that Marinette loved him back, not only as Adrien but as Chatnoir as well, she has fallen in love with both sides of him, it made him love her even more.

“It’s okay. I didn’t except you to feel the same.” Marinettes voice trembled as she spoke.” everyone in Paris knows that your in love with Ladybug. Who am I to compare with that?”

Marinette bite her lip as she stared hard at the ground. She snifflesd and started to blink rapidly, Chat was confused for a second until he saw the first tear fall. It slide down her freckled cheek, catching moonbeams as it landed on the roof below them. In an instant he was by her side, wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her to his chest.

“Shh, I love you so much Marinette. I have for long time. Yes, I did have feelings for Ladybug but I never connected with her the way I do with you. We just fit together so well, physically, mentally, emotionally and dare I say it spiritually. You’re my other half, Princess, my soulmate. Please don’t cry.”

Marinette felt an overwhelming sense of joy. He loved her, not just the idealistic, superhero version of her but the clumsy, blubbering mess that is Marinette. The tears fell harder as she felt a sensation washed over her,relief that’s what it was.

She squeezed him tighter as happy laughter left her lips. He pulled back, resting his head on her forehead as he started into her eyes.

“May I kiss you?”

Marinette didn’t bother to reply. She eagerly pressed her thin lips agaisnt his plump soft ones and the rest of the world just melted away.

Something Awesome: Data Thief or Gift Recipient

Okay, we’ve seen more than a few attacks that can be performed when someone clicks a link or navigates to a website.

Cryptojacking

Cross Site Request Forgery

Drive-By Attacks

Zoom 0day

But it’s time to pay homage to the attack that’s hidden in plain site. 

tldr; head over to https://fingerprintme.herokuapp.com/ for some fun.

Passive Data Theft

I hesitate to call it theft when in fact we are giving all of this data to every website we visit like a little gift. 

Please, accept this bundle of quasi-identifiers as a token of my appreciation.

Many internet users have no idea just how much data is available to websites they are visiting, so it’s worth exploring just what is in our present.

IP Address and Geolocation API

Like any good gift giver, we better write on the tag. 

To: <website server> From: <your IP address>

Your IP (Internet Protocol) address is a little 32-bit (now possibly 128-bit) number that uniquely identifies your device on the Internet. This is by design; people need to be able to address you to be able to send you any packets. A static 1:1 mapping of devices to IPs is definitely a massive exaggeration today as as we use technologies to let multiple devices share one IP, dynamically acquire an IP for each session, and our ISPs (Internet Service Providers) may also dynamically assign our IP address.

Nonetheless, IP addresses have (again by design) another function; location addressing. This is because when you’re internet traffic is propagating through the Internet (a global network of routers) it needs to know where it physically needs to go, and fast. Owing to this, the internet has taken on a hierarchical structure, with different ISPs servicing different geographical regions. These ISPs are tiered such that lower tier ISPs service specific subsets of the upper level tier’s region, providing more geographical specificity. It is this property of IP addresses that allows anyone with your IP address to get a rough idea where you are in the world. Moreover, IP addresses from specific subnets like AARNet (for Australian Universities) can be a giveaway for your location.

Try Googling “my ip” or “where am i”. There are many IP to Geolocation API services available. I have made use of https://ipgeolocation.io/, which has a generous free tier 🙏.

User Agent

Every request your browser makes to a server is wrapped up with a nice little UserAgent String bow, that looks a little like this,

User-Agent: Mozilla/<version> (<system-information>) <platform> (<platform-details>) <extensions>

Oh how sweet 😊 it’s our Operating System, our browser and what versions we of each we are running, and if the server is lucky, perhaps a few extra details.

Here are a few examples from MDN:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X x.y; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Why might this be a problem? Allow me to direct you towards my earlier post on Drive-By Attacks. Vulnerabilities are often present in specific versions of specific platforms. If an exploit server detects that your particular version of Chrome for Windows (for example) has a known vulnerability, well then prepare to be infected. 

Navigator

Okay, I think we’ve been polite enough, it’s time to rip this packaging open! Ooh what is this inside? It’s an invitation to our browser of course! 

When we send off a request to a web server complete with our IP and User Agent string, the web server will typically respond by sending us a web page to render. These days a web page can be anything from a single HTML file with a few verses from a dead poet, to a fully fledged JavaScript application. To support this development, browsers are exposing more and more functionality/system information through a special JavaScript interface called Navigator.

From MDN,

The Navigator interface represents the state and the identity of the user agent. It allows scripts to query it and to register themselves to carry on some activities.

...to carry on some activities... I wonder. The list of available properties and methods is pretty comprehensive so I’ll just point out a few interesting ones.

getBattery() (have only seen this on chrome)

connection (some details about your network connection)

hardwareConcurrency (for multithreading)

plugins (another important vector for Drive-Bys)

storage (persisted storage available to websites)

clipboard (requires permissions, goodness plz be careful)

doNotTrack (i wonder who checks this...)

vibrate() (because haptic is the only real feedback)

While I’ve got it in mind, here’s a wonderful browser localStorage vulnerability I stumbled across https://github.com/feross/filldisk.com. There’s a 10MB per site limit, but no browser is enforcing this quota across both a.something.com and b.something.com...

I have no idea why Chrome thinks it’s useful to expose your battery status to every website you visit... Personally, the clipboard API feels the most violating. It requires permissions, but once given you’re never asked again. Control/Command + V right now and see what’s on your clipboard. I doubt there’s many web pages that you’d actually want to be able to read your clipboard every time you visit.

Social Media Side Channel / CSRF

Okay, now we’re getting a little cheeky. It’s actually possible to determine if a browser has an authenticated session with a bunch of social media platforms and services.

It’s a well known vulnerability (have a laughcry at some of the socials responses), which abuses the redirect on login functionality we see on many of these platforms, as well as the Same-Origin Policy SOP being relaxed around HTML tags, as we saw was sometimes exploited by Cross Site Request Forgery attacks.

Consider this lovely image tag.

<img src="https://www.facebook.com/login.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffavicon.ico%3F_rdr%3Dp">

As you can see, the image source (at least originally) doesn’t point to an image at all, but rather the Facebook login page. Thanks to SOP, we wouldn’t and shouldn’t be able to send an AJAX request to this website and see the response. But this HTML image tag is going to fire off a GET request for it’s source no problem. 

Thanks to redirect on login, if a user rocks up to the login page with the correct session cookies then we won’t have them login again, but rather we redirect them to their newsfeed; or, as it turns out, whatever the URL parameter next points to. What if we point it to an actual image, say the website icon, such that the HTML image tag loads if we are redirected, and fails if not.

Simple but effective. You can try it for yourself here, by opening my codepen in your browser when you’re signed in to Facebook, and when you’re signed out (or just use Incognito).

Fingerprint Me v1.0

Okay, time for a demonstration. I took the liberty of writing my own web page that pulls all this data together, and rather than store it for a rainy day (like every other page on the web),  I present it to the user on a little web dashboard. It’s like a mirror for your browser. And who doesn’t like to check themselves out in the mirror from time to time 🙃

Random technical content: I had to fetch the geolocation data server-side to protect my API key from the client, then I sneak it back into the static HTML web page I’m serving to the user by setting it on the window variable in some inline script tags.

I bust out some React experience, and have something looking pretty (pretty scary I hope) in some nondescript amount of time (time knows no sink like frontend webdev). I rub my hands together grinning to myself, and send it off to some friends.

“Very scary”. I can see straight through the thin veil of their encouragement and instead read “Yeaaaah okay”. One of them admits that they actually missed the point when they first looked at it. But.. but... nevermind. It’s clearly not having the intended effect. These guys are pretty Internet savvy, but I feel like this should be disconcerting for even the most well seasoned web user... 

Like that moment you lock eyes with yourself in the mirror after forgetting to shave a few days in a row.

Fingerprint Me v2.0

An inspired moment follows. I trace it back to the week ?7 activity class on privacy:

It is very hard to make a case for privacy. What is the inherent value of privacy? Why shouldn’t the government have our data, we give it to a million services everyday anyway, and receive a wealth of benefits for it. Go on, have it. I wasn’t using it for anything anyway. 

It is very easy to make a case for privacy, if there is any sense that someone malicious is involved. As soon as there is someone who would wish us ill it becomes obvious that there are things that the less they know the better. 

<Enter great The Art of War quote here.>

~ Sun Tzu

Therein lies the solution. I need to make the user feel victimised. And what better to do it than a green on black terminal with someone that calls themselves a hacker rooting your machine.

DO CLICK THIS LINK (it’s very safe, I promise) https://fingerprintme.herokuapp.com

Some more random technical content: Programming this quite synchronous behaviour in the very async-centric JavaScript was quite a pain. It was particularly tricky to get around the fact that React renders it’s component hierarchy top down, so I needed the parent components to mount empty in order for them to be correctly populated with child components later. It was also a pain to access and render child components conditionally, especially if you want to have sets of child components in different files, as though they aren’t ultimately nested in the DOM, React will treat them as if they are.

Some User Reviews:

“It feels like I should shut the window”

“This is SO RUDE”

“Battery level. I mean. Literally. How.”

Excellent.

Recommendations

5 Important Factors in Google’s New Page Experience Update for SEO

Google has always been on top when it comes to satisfying the intent of users and their queries. And to move a step ahead, now the search engine vanguard is planning to roll out yet another major algorithm update - Page Experience. As the name suggests, this update will be more inclined towards the “user-experience” signals.

After hearing the launch of Page Experience update, there has been a lot of back and forth in the SEO industry due to fear of negatively impacting the websites. And SEO professionals should not take this lightly because many previous updates have significantly influenced search results. For example, the Panda update initially impacted 12 percentage of US search queries right after its release.

And this new rollout might hit many of them hard who are lacking in delivering a decent user experience. So, how will you prepare for it? To make necessary enhancements, you need to know how it works and on which factors it depends. With that said, let’s first understand what Page Experience update is, how Google will implement it and on which factors it depends.

What is Google’s Page Experience Update?

In the official blog of Google, they defined it as an algorithm that will judge the web pages by measuring how users perceive the experience of interacting with a web page. In simple words, Google will use various signals such as mobile-friendliness, Core Web Vitals, safe-browsing to determine the user’s experience with a particular web page.

When is Google’s Page Experience expected to come out?

Earlier in November 2020, Google said that the Page Experience update would roll out in May 2021. But afterward, they pushed it back to mid-June 2021. So, it just got released and has started impacting the websites.

How fast will Google implement this?

Page experience is not going to strike in one go, and indeed, it won’t play its whole part on the websites until the end of August, nearly a span of 2 and half months. Thus, you’ll see the changes gradually during this period.

How can you measure this “Page Experience" metric?

Every SEO professional needs to know how well they perform in the eyes of Google. Therefore, Google has introduced a new Page Experience report in the search console to help you analyze how your URLs are performing. The report will also give you actionable insights to improve the Page Experience signals.

Now let’s shed some light on how the SEO industry can prepare for this imperative update.

What are the Important Factors in Google’s New Page Experience Update for SEO?

1) You cannot afford a poor score in Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals are a set of real-world metrics based on page load time, interactivity, and visual stability. Popularly known as LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), FCP (First Input Delay), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), respectively.

For maintaining a good user experience, Google has set a standard value for all three Core Web Vitals:

Largest Contentful Paint: It should occur within 2.5 seconds when the page starts loading.

First Input Delay: It must be less than 100 milliseconds

Cumulative Layout Shift: The value of CLS should be lower than 0.1

Thus, scoring these values will give you an upper hand among your competitors when the Page Experience update rolls out.

How can you measure Core Web Vitals?

Open the URL in an incognito window in Chrome and inspect it. Navigate to the “lighthouse” section at the top and generate the report. (You can choose between mobile and desktop to get the separate report of each).

For example, below is the screenshot of Salesmate’s Mobile CRM landing page in which we have done a kickass job for on-page SEO. However, we’re lagging in many of the Core Web Vital metrics that culminates in poor page experience.

So, to improve the overall performance, you can follow the recommendations listed right below it. Landing pages are super important to capture leads, and hence you need to optimize them well.

Another alternative way to measure the Core Web Vitals is to visit Google page speed insights and simply paste the URL.

2) Prioritizing Security

No one wants to visit a malicious site. Google will give more priority to secure websites, and for website owners, it is no longer an option but a necessity. Chrome browser already pops up a warning sign every time you try to visit a malicious site. However, it allows you to visit the site after accepting the warning, but you should avoid putting your website in the red zone.

The first and foremost important step towards security is to secure your website with HTTPS.

Now, a safe browsing experience is a priority for users and so for Google, which is why it is included in the new Page Experience update.

3) Mobile Friendliness is More Important than Ever

Mobile usage is snowballing, and it’s not an unpopular stat. Optimizing your website for mobile is already impacting the rankings. But now, it will be more important than ever for you to make your website mobile-friendly as it will be a strong signal in the Page Experience update.

You can run this mobile-friendly test to know if your web page is mobile-friendly or not. Using AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) also enhances the mobile experience. However, Google will always prioritize the pages with a better experience, whether it is due to AMP or any other technology. But if you’re using AMP, then you’re likely to score well in page experience metrics.

4) Avoiding Intrusive Interstitials

First of all, what exactly is an intrusive interstitial?

In simple words, anything that prevents users from navigating or viewing the content they are looking for on a web page is considered intrusive interstitial.

Below are some images provided by Google to help you understand better.

It can be anything like sponsored ads or unnecessary popups. Thus, users should be able to access the content easily, without any interruptions.

5) Great Content will Remain the Bedrock

“Content is the king.” This is probably the nth time you’re reading this sentence, but insightful and interactive content is the bedrock if you want to dominate the search results. Google highlighted the importance of quality content in its official blog of Page Experience update by saying:

“While page experience is important, Google still seeks to rank pages with the best information overall, even if the page experience is subpar. Great page experience doesn't override having great page content.”

Yes, you’ve heard it right. Even if your web page has some poor Page Experience metrics but has excellent content that provides value to users, then you’ll still rank!

It doesn’t mean that you should consider Page Experience as a fifth wheel. Because in cases where the quality of content is somewhat similar, Google will strongly consider Page Experience metrics for search visibility.

The Bottom Line

From technical aspects such as Core Web Vitals, mobile-friendliness, and website security to working on user’s satisfaction through powerful content without any intrusive interstitials, Page Experience will be a reality check for many SEOs.

With updates like Panda and Penguin, Google has become more stringent against spammy activities and various black hat SEO tactics. Likewise, with this Page Experience update, it seems Google will try to separate the wheat from the chaff by taking appealing user experience into consideration.

Therefore, if your web page has great optimized content but delivers a stinky user experience, then you're likely to face a downfall if your competitors are excelling in Page Experience matrics with somewhat similar content.

●     First, just open the chrome browser on your PC.

●     The shortcut method to start in-private browsing in chrome is to press CTRL, Shift, and N key together. This will open a new incognito tab in chrome.

●     Another method is via the browser menu.

●     Click the three dots located at the top right part of the page and select the incognito option from the menu list.

Step 2: Add a separate User, specific for QBO login in chrome

●     Next, select an icon for the user, then click the Create button.

●     The new user icon will be displayed on the upper right corner of the chrome home screen. You can easily make a switch between different users with just a click.

●     Give it a little time. If the server is down it may take some time to resume the services.

●     On your keyboard press the F5 button a few times. It will refresh and Relode the page.

●     Close the browser and restart it again. Now type the QuickBooks Login URL https://c37.qbo.intuit.com.
