Accessibility options are a treasure trove of cool features you probably didn't even know existed. © ANDROIDPIT The Android system, whether you own an LG G3 , Galaxy S4 or Nexus 5 , has a number of accessibility options built in for those hard of hearing, suffering from a vision impairment or any other number of other conditions that might make the standard operation of your Android difficult. These are great features to be sure, but you don't need to be as blind as me to take advantage of them. Here's five accessibility settings you should be using. Accessibility options come in all shapes and sizes and many are unique to the particular device or Android version that you have. There are some stock Android accessibility settings you'll find everywhere, like TalkBack, font size, captions and ''touch and hold'' delay time settings, but there's lots more, some that are really cool like using your LED flash as a notification

SQL Injection How It Works.

Introduction Lets get started at an apparently unrelated point. Lets assume we create a table in SQL. Now there are three main parts of a database management system, like SQL. They are - Creating structure of table Entering data Making queries (and getting meaningful results from data) Now, when SQL is used to display data on a web page, it is common to let web users input their own queries. For example,  if you go to a shopping website to buy a smartphone, you might want to specify what kind of smartphone you want. The site would probably be storing data about phones in table with columns like Name, Price, Company, Screen Size, OS, etc. Now they allow you to create a query using some sort of user friendly drop down based form which lets you select your budget, preferred company, etc. So basically, you, the user, can create queries and request data from their SQL servers. Now this automated method of creating queries for you is relatively safe, there is another method of creating queri

Hacking Websites Using SQL Injection Manually

Sql Injection - Hacking Websites   In this post we will hack a website and obtain its data using SQL injection attack. We will not use any tools. This is one of the few tuts on this blog for which you don't need Kali Linux. You can easily carry it out from Windows machine on any normal browser. If you need to get a big picture of what a SQL injection attack actually does, take a look at this tutorial on   Basics Of SQL Injection. SQL Injection Finding A Vulnerable Website The first step is obviously finding a vulnerable website. There are a lot of ways to do so. the most common method of searching is by using dorks. Dorks Dorks are an input query into a search engine (Google) which attempt to find websites with the given text provided in the dork itself. Basically it helps you to find websites with a specific code in their url which you know is a sign of vulnerability. A more specific definition could be "Advanced Google searches used to find security loopholes on websites and

Hacking Website with Sqlmap in Kali Linux

Better Explanation :  Link!  or Here! In the previous tutorial, we hacked a website using nothing but a simple browser on a Windows machine. It was a pretty clumsy method to say the least. However, knowing the basics is necessary before we move on to the advanced tools. In this tutorial, we'll be using Kali Linux (see the top navigation bar to find how to install it if you haven't already) and SqlMap (which comes preinstalled in Kali) to automate what we manually did in the Manual SQL Injection tutorial to hack websites . Now it is recommended that you go through the above tutorial once so that you can get an idea about how to find vulnerable sites. In this tutorial we'll skip the first few steps in which we find out whether a website is vulnerable or not, as we already know from the previous tutorial that this website  is vulnerable. Kali Linux First off, you need to have Kali linux (or backtrack) up and running on your machine. Any other Linux distro might
