I thought about adding basic bookmarklets to Hackvertor but then I had an idea..wouldn’t it be cool if you could create your own 🙂 This simple yet powerful feature will allow you to perform a Hackvertor conversion on any text from any web page. This means you can convert a selection of text to hex […]

Simplicity is always the best policy I’ve finally and completely (I hope) fixed nested tags. This was an absolute nightmare to solve because the engine kept matching the wrong sets of tags. For example if you placed the following tags in Hackvertor:- test Hackvertor wouldn’t know which one it should convert first, the way to […]

I’ve been reading a lot about unicode over the past few weeks and I decided to add full/half conversion into Hackvertor as a learning exercise. It’s useful for testing IDS systems because certain web servers automatically convert the characters into the normal ASCII range. Check it out here:- Unicode demo You can even assign a […]

Future plans I’ve done a big change in the Hackvertor code to pave the way for some new features. In future I plan to create a web service were we can create/share Hackvertor tags for free. This will enable custom versions of Hackvertor for a specific task, for example we could have a SQL injection […]

I’ve updated the design and layout of Hackvertor along with some new tags and features. In the next few weeks I plan to tidy the code up and reduce a lot of functions. If you have any feature suggestions then please leave a comment, SQL injection tags are planned for the next release along with […]

I’ve created a separate tool for HTML/JS fuzzing, I decided to do this because Hackvertor does all the hard work of conversion and I can simply extend the functionality without writing much code. The tool is already very powerful and lets you traverse unicode characters and perform whatever conversions you require and in any position […]

New update I’ve updated Hackvertor again, which allows HMAC hashing, SHA2 hashing support, new line removal and javascript evaluation within tags. A good example of the new features would be the following input:- str=’hello’;for(i=0;i

I see my pupil that you are now ready to learn the ways of the samourai sword. The Shaolin Warrior’s IDS tiger style is strong but it is no match for the Hackvertor hanzo sword. Observe:- javascript :alert(/XSS PUNCH!/) Which produces a devastating blow:- &#x6A&#97vascrip&#x74&#58ale&#x72&#x74&#x28&#x2F&#x58 &#x53&#x53&#x20&#x50&#x55&#x4E&#x43&#x48&#x21&#x2F&#x29 I hope you have enjoyed this lesson young one […]

I’ve been busy…real busy on Hackvertor 🙂 so I thought it might be a good idea to explain the ideas behind it. Please note Hackvertor is currently only tested under Firefox. I may support other browsers in future. What is it? It’s many things: a conversion utility, browser hacking platform, targeted fuzzing tool, XSS filter […]

I’ve decided to create a video demo of Hackvertor to display the new features I’ve added. The tool is quite powerful now and it is even able to solve my a bit of fun challenge. I didn’t want to waste the bandwidth of my server because of costs so sorry about the adverts displayed in […]
