Facebook fun hacks

Earlier I had posted on the aspect of security on Social Networking Site. There is no reiterating the fact that 'the Web' has many risks which a normal net user may not be aware off. Luckily for us, most of the popular sites are pretty security conscious and make the extra effort to be 100% sure of their site and their users security. But its also easy to change a web page from what the original developer intended to do and maybe look like!!! And that's what the Cyber terrorists exploit!!!

Just to show you all how easy it is to change the default ways of some of the popular sites, lets have some fun on the Facebook site (your login of course!!). Mind you - this is not a SECURITY issue or concern - just a fun hack!! 

The below 'fun hacks' will not cause any harm to the web site - and the site will be restored to its  original form when you refresh the web page!!! So have no worry - just try these out for an experience (trust me???) !!!!

And ofcourse I got these tit-bits browsing online and Googling!!! The credit goes to the annonymous coders (certainly not me!!! I am just one more impressed bloke!!)

Ok, go ahead and login to your Facebook account.

Once the home page opens, on the address bar (the one where you type http://www.facebook.com :-) copy paste this line of code, and hit enter:

 javascript:void(document.getElementById('fb_menubar').style.background='red');

Hmmm..... impressed??? (the above will change your top menu background colour to 'Red'!!)

Try this too...

    javascript:buddyList.toggleTab();

The above will bring up list of your online friends!!!!

Easy, yeah????

(there are quite a few such 'javascript' hacks available!!! Stopped here so as to keep this post brief!!!)

Let the fun continue.....

Ok, now go to you status update box (where you type in your status message), and using your UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT keys, type out the following sequence of keys :

    [up] [up] [down] [down] [left] [right] [left] [right] b a [enter]


pictorially:

(hmmm.... of course, you will not see any letters there except 'ba')

Then click anywhere on the page!!!! And tell me what you see!!! :-)

The above is an 'easter egg' in Facebook famously called 'the konami code ' (check out what is 'konami code' here )

"For the uninitiated or nongamers out there, the Konami Code (UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A) is arguably the most famous cheat code in video games. It has been used in countless games and lately, some sites have taken to using the code to trigger amusing events on the page."
