Hi,

For some obscure reason some one may want to obscure its URL.
Per example, imagine that we want to obscure http://www.purebasic in a way that the resulting URL is:

[url]http://www.microsoft.com@%77%77%77%2E%70%75%72%65%62%61%73%69%63%2E%63%6F%6D[/url]

or even

[url]http://www.cnet-winning-award-software.com@%77%77%77%2e%70%75%72%65%62%61%73%69%63%2e%63%6f%6d/[/url]

I made a little app that let you do this:

Code: Select all


If OpenWindow(0,100,150,640,220,"Test",#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
  
  StringGadget(1,10,30,500,20,"[url]http://www.purebasic.com[/url]");write here the url you want to obscure
  StringGadget(2,10,90,500,20,"[url]http://www.microsoft.com[/url]");use any text with out @
  StringGadget(3,10,60,500,20,"")
  StringGadget(4,10,120,500,20,"")
  ButtonGadget(5,200,150,150,25,"Obscure your Url")
  ButtonGadget(6,510,60,120,20,"Copy to ClipBoard")
  ButtonGadget(7,510,120,120,20,"Copy to ClipBoard")
  TextGadget(8,520,30,100,20,"Here goes your URL")
  TextGadget(9,520,90,140,20,"Here goes tricky URL")
  Repeat
    EventID=WaitWindowEvent()
    
    Select EventID
    
      Case #PB_Event_Gadget
        Select EventGadget()
          Case 5
          String$ = ""
          For i = 1 To Len(GetGadgetText(1))
            If Mid(GetGadgetText(1),i,1) = "\" Or Mid(GetGadgetText(1),i,1) = "/"
               Letter$ = "%" + Hex(Asc(Mid(GetGadgetText(1),i,1)))
            Else
               Letter$ = "\"
            EndIf
            String$ = String$ + Letter$
          Next i
          SetGadgetText(3,String$)
  
          SetGadgetText(4, GetGadgetText(2) + "@" + String$)
          
          Case 6
          SetClipboardText(GetGadgetText(3)) 
          Case 7
          SetClipboardText(GetGadgetText(4)) 
          
        EndSelect
    
    EndSelect
    
  Until EventID=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
Dont use slash (/ or \) into the "tricky URL" (http://www.microsoft.com or http://www.cnet-winning-award-software.com in the examples).

Try it and let me know if you find better and evil ways :evil: to trick the browser and the users : )

Best Regards

Hi MrVainSCL

Yes, its interesting. Sometimes could be so usefull if you want to difficult that some people get some URL.

I found that everything you write at the left of @ its not relevant since you dont uses / or \.
Its the same to type:

[url]http://www.take-a-look-at-this.com@http://www.purebasic.com" target="_blank[/url]

or even obscuring the http://www.purebasic part to get

[url]http://www.take-a-look-at-this.com@%77%77%77%2E%70%75%72%65%62%61%73%69%63%2E%63%6F%6D[/url]

Event the @ could be trated as %44...

sometimes people uses the left information to set the username and password

username:password@http://www.purebasic.com

It could be so usefull if you are making some server or maybe a webbrowser.




Best Regards

or

http://www.microsoft.com|billgates|favoritecompilers.html@%77%77%77%2e%70%75%72%65%62%61%73%69%63%2e%63%6f%6d/

Click the links :)

ps. there are another ways to obscure the URL ¿anyone else knows another way?

Hello Ricardo,

It is one easy trick to do first of all that is strange for most people :

take IP address instead of DNS name and convert it in a 32 bit integer instead of a 4 bytes dot separated number.

The problem is that many servers have a name resolution based on domain names splitted on the same IP address. But it is often on build URLs.

I mean if you want to place the long integer based URL of :

http://www.reelmediaproductions.com/pb

you can type

http://1123346314/pb/

which is also equivalent to :

http://%31%31%32%33%33%34%36%33%31%34/pb/

Funny, isn't it ?

I do not reveal any secret here, it is exactly how IP4 works !

Hope you will provide us some good stuff with it.

Do you actually get this to work or is it just an example of what it would look like if it did work?

I know you can use http://66.244.231.138/pb instead of http://www.reelmediaproductions.com/pb
but http://1123346314/pb/ does not work here.

This doesn't work on all browsers.
IE doesn't resolve these dword ips since v5.5 (and updated v5.0)
AFAIK on Netscape it never worked, same for Opera (correct me if I#M wrong)

Sorry that it could occur the long integer coding won't work but it should. I have an IE 5.5 on which it works.

Anyway the coding is really simple to find.

Assume you just know the DNS name of a server you want to 'code'. Make a ping of that server to get the exact IP address. Or sometimes you will check using a ping -a for solving the real DNS name and understand it is a redirection to the given domain you want to reach.

Anyway using ping you will get a b4.b3.b2.b1 (b for byte) IP addres. The long integer equivalence is :

b4 * 256 * 256 * 256 + b3 * 256 * 256 + b2 * 256 + b1

That's all !

BTW all the IP4 coding is based on this 'algorithm'.
