How To View Passwords Hidden Behind Asterisk Character

Posted: 08 Jun 2010 09:16 AM PDT


Whenever you fill your credentials while login into your online account, due to security reasons it shows only asterisk characters instead of your original password.

In browsers there is a feature to save your passwords. It automatically fills up the login credentials whenever you opened up the login page. But in this case also you can't see the password of your account. However you can see the password by visiting the options panel of your browser.

Now consider the scenario where you are using public computer where your browser can’t help you by reminding you the passwords. Many web services such as online banking or mail services come with security login feature (https), these services give you only few chance (3 to 5 times) to enter the correct password. If you fail to do so then it may be possible that your account get banned or locked.

If at first time you know what you password are entering inside the login field, you can easily avoid bad situations. The easiest way to know what is hidden behind asterisk character is using bookmarklet. I found a nice bookmarklet on Hacktrix blog. Here I am explaining one of it.

Drag the below given bookmarklet into your bookmark bar. Below given screenshot describes you how to drag it.

A small dialog box appears displaying the password of your account. Here my password is toxicbird. Don’t try to login with this password in my account. Obviously it won’t work. :)

Gmail has now Google Maps integration

Posted: 08 Jun 2010 01:01 AM PDT


Google Maps is an awesome tool. Anyone who has tried to look up a new address and get to it, often use Google Maps. This tool is awesome because most times all you really need to search for is the exact address and Google Maps shows where it is exactly.

As you can see in the image below all someone has to do is send you an email to your Gmail account. Gmail will show a Google Map of that address automatically.

This is possible on your Gmail by enabling Google Maps preview in mail by looking up ‘Labs’ under ‘Settings’ in Gmail.

This is a great way to integrate Google Maps with Gmail. The addresses are accurate in the United States and not made available internationally. Google is planning to make it available for all international addresses to show a corresponding Google Map. I wonder if Bing Maps will go the same way with its new planned changes with Hotmail.

Posted: 07 Jun 2010 11:02 PM PDT


Windows 7 is one of the best operating systems released by Microsoft. But if you just installed Windows 7 on your computer, you might have noticed that hibernation is disabled by default in Windows 7. But if you want to enable it, follow the guide we posted earlier. Now, as most of us know that it stores all the hibernation information in the hard disk which can be really large in size.

You may want to reduce the size of hibernate file in order to free disk space. So, if you can reduce the size of hibernate file in Windows 7 by following the simple guide below:

1. Open Command Prompt by typing CMD, right click and select Run As Administrator.

hibernate-file-size-1

2. In Command Prompt, type the following line

Powercfg –h –size percentsize

Percentsize refers to the percentage value so replace it with a value for instance, 70% but remember that the file size cannot be smaller than 50%

hibernate-file-size-2

3. And you are done.

Do let us know which operating system you are using? Are you using the Hibernate feature of your Operating system?
