You already know that if you want to lock down your Wi-Fi network, you should opt for WPA encryption because WEP is easy to crack. But did you know how easy? Take a look. Today we're going to run down, step-by-step, how to crack a Wi-Fi network with WEP security turned on. But first, a word: Knowledge is power, but power doesn't mean you should be a jerk, or do anything illegal. Knowing how to ...

Interesting little how-to. I knew it was easy, but never really looked into what software/hardware you'd need to do it.

Did you know you can switch tabs in Firefox by making a twisting motion with your fingers on a multi-touch surface? I did. Turns out I've been doing it for months — I thought I was late to the party and was too ashamed to mention it to anybody for fear of an epic internet ribbing ("What, you just figured that out?"). But no, apparently it was top secret and highly experimental. That was in ...

There's a core set of habits and techniques that filter and color a lot of what we write about at Lifehacker, but we rarely step back to explain them for newcomers. Let's get back to basics with 10 productivity tactics. 10.

A while back I wrote about a subtle JSON vulnerability which could result in the disclosure of sensitive information. That particular exploit involved overriding the JavaScript Array constructor to disclose the payload of a JSON array, something which most browsers do not support now. However, there’s another related exploit that seems to affect many more browsers. It was brought to my attention recently by someone at Microsoft and Scott Hanselman and I demonstrated it at ...

Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. Seems every where you turn these days that little blue bird is staring you right in the face. But how did it all start? Where is it all going? Who’s to say really, except you I suppose, in 140 character bursts. In the meantime let’s take a look back on some milestones of microblogging.

I don’t know about you, but when I see a link to a picture shared on Twitter, I almost always click on it. Sharing images in real-time is a particularly interesting use of the service. And now there’s a more interesting way to view these time-sensitive pictures with Twicsy. The service, launched by the social search engine Searchles, features a main page that is filled with image thumbnails. All of them are images shared over ...

Wow, clicked and a few NSFW images...

Interestingly, Twicsy doesn’t use Twitter’s search API to find these images. Instead, it indexes all tweets with image links and populates them from that. Twicsy's own search pulls up related images that have been shared on Twitter. You can sort these by time or by relevance. The results are pretty solid.

If you've followed my blog for any length of time, you know that I am a total regular expression fanboy. It's almost embarrassing how much I love the damn things. I'm pretty sure my teammates roll their eyes every time they see yet another class I've touched that has using System.Text.RegularExpressions at the top. You might as well rename it to JeffHasBeenHere. I say that because I end up writing a lot of string handling ...

I disagree completely with him about Friedl's book but I think our differences stem from the fact that I learned Regex's properly more or less from scratch with that and it is one of the best teaching books I've ever read on any topic. That aside I'm 100% in agreement here and can't wait to get a copy of this.
