Question

Can I be caught if I hack a website?

Community Answer

Eventually, yes. Every time you access a page, it makes a log file that contains your information. This includes your IP, which can later be traced back to you by authorities if they have the legal right to do so.

Question

What do I do if I can't change the script?

Community Answer

You don't literally change the script; you copy it to a text editor, then open it as an HTML file. This will open the website through the script that you saved in your computer.

Question

Is any type of hacking legal?

Community Answer

The kinds of hacking that are illegal are (depending on your specific jurisdiction) are "theft of services" or "unauthorized access to a computer system" or "fraud." It is perfectly fine, however, for someone to hack their own computer or website in order to reset a lost password for an administrator account. Apart from that, there aren't very many situations where it would be legal to hack.

Question

How do I delete Javascript?

Community Answer

First off, find the Javascript code you want to delete, highlight it, and right-click it. You will see an option that says, "Edit as HTML." Select that option, hit CRTL-A (Mac: Command-a), then delete it by pressing backspace.

Question

Why are you calling this hacking? This isn't hacking.

Community Answer

Yes, this is hacking. Anything that involves getting around a login or other security to gain access to something is hacking. It may not be the more dramatic, dangerous type of hacking that the media and general public tend to use the term for, but among programmers, it is considered hacking. There are much more innocent activities that fall under the umbrella of hacking, too.

Question

Can I use this method to hack a betting site?

Gary

Community Answer

No, This method is extremely unlikely to work anyway. Finding data in the HTML is extremely unlikely as most database code will be from PHP or XML methods. A betting site will use higher security. It is also extremely illegal to hack websites so you should only do it for a non-profit or education and never cause harm to another when hacking.

Question

Can I be caught if I hack a website in a TOR browser?

Vinyaya

Community Answer

TOR browsers work by bouncing your IP and location through a lot of different servers, so no, unless the guy who was hacked is very bent on finding you, which is what would likely happen if you hack a government site or some big site like Google.
