    Webtool Site

    in Applications & Coding

    Posted

    So, a long long time ago I posted on this forum about a project I started with my website (http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?showtopic=17145&st=0)

    It's been a while and we have launched a bunch of new services and made the site a lot more pretty :)

    One of our new services is called Disposable Phone Numbers. I sent Darren 100 beta invite links that will unlock that service for you guys to check out. If he never does anything with them I will post them here.

    I'd appreciate any feedback you guys could give about the site, we've worked pretty hard on it. Thanks!

    Warning: Division by zero in /home/crumbles/a2-1dl.us/includes/imgresize.php on line 77

    I made it divide by zero, do i win?

    but apart from this nice site :) and a nice well cut GUI.

    Ha! Yea, that was actually a bug in our code! We currently only allow JPG and GIF uploads. Our code was _supposed_ to not allow other formats (bmp, png, txt, exe, etc.) But for some reason it was, and throwing a PHP error. This has been fixed.

    If you made it onto lifehacker, then you got it made! As for the proxy mentioned above, mabye you would want to link to a proxy that is on a different page, since A. If you are using a proxy, you would want to see your whole page in its own window or tab, not in a tab like the other features are, and B. schools and workplaces that have webfilters often block proxies, since it offers a way to bypass their features. This way if that happens, users can still use the rest of your tools. as for a GUI layout, look at igoogle.com, and how it has it's web widgets. if you can reformat yours like that, and even have a button that expands one widget to a larger size, overlaying the other ones, it could definitely become many, many more people's favorite site.

    Speaking of google, you could create some google search boxes that work as shortcuts for some of the more advanced search tools google has to offer, like its synonym search

    PS: if you happen to track your website with google analytics, i'd love to see what happened at the time it was posted on lifehacker

    We have a bunch of emails from people with some really good suggestions and tweaks. A lot of the tweaks were head smackers. Stuff we should have thought of. Like the google search box being focused automatically when the page loads, etc.

    Our traffic was _INSANE_ - We are not using G.A. because we aren't a big fan of it. Our site was stressed for about 2 hours yesterday so we don't have great reporting for the whole day. We are getting a constant stream of traffic now which is great. The word of mouth is proving to be working. Lifehacker was really helped us get our start. As of right now, our traffic is still pretty good. So, fingers crossed!

    Damn, well, lifehacker.com had us scrambling. We have done some major performance tweaks that we "thought" might be an issue if we ever got a lot of traffic. Apparently it was. In addition to the performance tweaks, we are dedicating more resources to the box so this _hopefully_ won't happen again.

    I got some ideas of my own, I would like to share with you

    1. Password generating tool

    2. Password cracking tool

    3. A page with hacking tools you can think of, ready to be downloaded.

    4. A proxy service, where users can surf anonymously and securely. (phpproxy, glype)

    That's all I can think for the moment. Apart from that, great work, keep it up dude.

    I'm sure I could add a PW generating tool, and possibly a cracking tool (maybe like a hash checker, etc.)

    We are working on setting up doing a few things that I'm pretty excited about.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'm going to give the site a few years and see how much it takes off, so help me spread the word around! :)

    So, I've been a hak5 fan for a while, although I don't post that often.

    I wanted to ask what you guys thought about a project I have been working on, and maybe give me some ideas on it. I basically tried to combine several single use websites into one (ie - tinyurl, ipchicken, imageshack, etc.)

    I even got disposable email working! Anyway, please give me ideas or what you like and don't like. If you can think of another single use website to add, then let me know.

    All feedback (good and bad) requested. Thanks!

    Best FREE RSS program???

    RSS bandit is light and good

    http://www.rssbandit.org/

    RSS Bandit looks pretty nice as well.  However, it does look to be a little more bloated than what I need.

    Thank you all for your replies, I appreciate it very much.  After installing Juice, it appears to do exactly what I need, and only what I need.  Lightweight, and pretty nice.

    Best FREE RSS program???

    in Questions

    I forget what it's called but it's something like mypodder or podcastready, you can google either and find it I'm sure, but that would be my suggestion for a non-iTunes rss feed downloader.

    Now, if you want something more robust, try Miro.

    Wow, that podcastready thing is a heap!!!  Thanks for the suggestion though, but that program is terrible!  Miro seems to be WAY to bulky to just have a simple program that will download files for me via RSS...  Plus, I'm not even sure it does that...

    Try Opera, it dosent auto download things but you just click the link. You can minimize it to the sys tray.
    If I were going to do that, I would just download them in uTorrent.  The reason for the automation is so the videos can download while I'm at work and be ready when I sit down at my desk at home.

    Is there a good FREE RSS program (for videocasts such as HAK.5) that will let me add the feeds and let me set it to automatically download the video file for me?  BESIDES iTunes :P ???  Oh, and also allows me to minimize it to the systray so I don't have to stare at it open in the taskbar all the time.

    Thanks in advance.  Just curious what you guys use.
