Costumize Facebook, Twitter ad Google Plus Sharing

Facebook : beyond the great api they give for extra stuff they are the only ones still allowing title, description and image via href so the code is like this

function OpenFacebookShare(title, summary, url, imageUrl) {
  var url = 'http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=' +
        encodeURIComponent(title) +
    '&p[summary]=' + encodeURIComponent(summary) +
    '&p[url]=' + encodeURIComponent(url) +
    '&p[images][0]=' + encodeURIComponent(imageUrl);
    window.open(url, 'mywindow', 'menubar=1,resizable=1,width=650,height=450');
};

as simple as that.


Twitter: twitter only allows url and text (only 140 chars) by href.
but they do request the url for their own meta tags, i.e. "twitter:title" ect.

to do this you must create a twitter account and create a "card" for your domain and allow that domain. its really not that much of a horror, just create an account, go here https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards to the part of the tool validator and put in your domain and it will ask you to approve it. as simple as that.

about the tags you have a complete list of tags there, they all look like this:
<meta property="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta property="twitter:title" content="Bresleveloper's Blog" />
dont forget the card :)

all that leaves you with that simple code:
function OpenTwitterShare(url, text) {
    var url = 'https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=' + 
         encodeURIComponent(url) + '&text=' +     
         encodeURIComponent(text);
       window.open(url, 'mywindow', 'menubar=1,resizable=1,width=650,height=450');
};


Google Plus: is even meaner - they allow only url.
so you, must, again, create an account and make some steps:
1. go here https://code.google.com/apis/console/
2. go to "Service" and turn on "Google+ API"
3. go to "API access" and create there a clientID

now!
the trick with google+ is that you dont "send" a request of something but instead you give the script the button (or other element) you want to be your button and he creates it alone.
your code will be like this

(function () {
    var po = document.createElement('script'); 
    po.type = 'text/javascript'; 
    po.async = true;
       po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/client:plusone.js';//?onload=onLoadCallback';
    //?onload=onLoadCallback' this allows a callback when the google scripts loads if you need it
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; 
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();

function SetGoogleShareButton(url, comment, buttonID) {
   var options = { contenturl : url,
                   clientid : 'your clientID here',
                   cookiepolicy : 'single_host_origin',
                   prefilltext : comment,
                   recipients: null,
                   calltoactionlabel : 'VIEW',
                   calltoactionurl : url
   };
   gapi.interactivepost.render(buttonID, options);
   return false;
}

 //callback for google - u cant give it up
function signinCallback(authResult) {
   if (authResult['access_token']) {
      // User successfully authorized the G+ App!
   } else if (authResult['error']) {
      // User has not authorized the G+ App!
}

 and its almost the end. you need to call SetGoogleShareButton somewhere AFTER the google scripts loads, so in my case the buttons where inside a popup so i called it in the "LoadPopup" func, or you can just make a callback that will call it and send it as the ?onload= value.

CHEERS!

OverTheWire[.com] Natas Walkthrough - JUST HINT, NO SPOILERS

game portal: http://overthewire.org/wargames/natas/ PASSWORDS for each level are stored in /etc/natas_webpass/natasX I made this walkthrough for people like me, i needed some help, but didnt want the spoiler, so here i will give you all the information needed to pass each level, yet not the solution. For levels needed custom web request i made a different post for powershell and javascript  with how-to's, since is a piece of learning for itself, and also for those of us that play at work and have only powershell at their hands. Although its not a complete spoiler there, its quite most of the solution so try yourself 1st. Natas The Natas game is from basic to advances web hacking. Every few levels is about whole new exploitation (with some harder ones doing comeback later), so a lot of learning. If you're new, you're the reason i am writing so much even for the 1st level, just please google EVERY topic you see, since in the following levels i assume you know the ...

Asp.Net Ending Response options, Response.End() vs CompleteRequest()

this blog is for any1 who get the ThreadAbortException when caling Response.End(), and then tried the other options such as HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest() and found out that there was no replacement. i'll start with the bottom line: if you want to stop right now your response and send it as is you dont have any other option other than Response.End(), period and it's the right thing to throw that EX in that case. the answer is its because there is the "HTTP pipeline" and the "Asp.Net pipeline", and CompleteRequest() cuts the HTTP pipeline but not the Asp.Net one so everything that is from handlers forwars (including all page events) continues but your part, the asp one, stays in your hands so that no information will be lost, so ur suppose to manage your code currectly, since information lost is really a bad thing, although in most cases we use Response.End() we know what we are losing and we want it. see this short article ab...
