While browsing for books on Amazon, I was intrigued with their method of generating a PDF-like interface to browsing the pages of their books. This is coined as 'Search Inside' feature of certain books at Amazon.

Below is a very basic Proof of Concept of how one might utilize the AJAX framework to brute-force attack the 'Random Page' feature of Amazon, to eventually be able to effectively 'rip' the entire book into their own PDF version. This is simply a POC and is not intended to be used by anyone to break any copyright laws. If you like the book, buy it.

POC Javascript to request random pages from Amazon books.

--> View as Source

Requirements: MUST be run from Internet Explorer, and possibly from you local machine [ie: save the html link and run it locally].

NOTE: Amazon does have some threshold timeouts on their books, I'm not sure if it's based on Amt of requests, or based on the frequency of the requests. Experiment as you please.

NOTE: You will need to edit the code to use the ASIN and 'ISBN' of the book you are testing against. [do this by mousing over the 'Search Inside' book image and you can glean this info from the link.

A would be web-hoodlum could cause an un-cautious visitor of his website to be logged out of his computer. There is no harm in this, unless the user has unsaved documents and XP has to kill the programs (causing unsaved changes to be lost)... For more info about this, and an example.. click below:

WinXP built-in logoff.exe file: see the example

{ the file can be found at <system root>/system32/logoff.exe }

I've had the Payroll Database System for over 3 months now... so i figured i might as well put some screenshots out... Perhaps someone might want it. It's about 90% completed... but won't be 100% complete until my "client" decides he want's to put down the moeny...
     If you think your organization/company could benefit from such a payroll system, let me know and i can give you the demo version. If you like it, we can negotiate a deal for the full version.

* Here are the screenshots for the DB System: Hemant Payroll System v.0.1.d
* The system was originally designed for currency, taxes, etc. in India... though it can easily be modified for U.S and other locales.

Try something like the following: {it worked for me}
<script>
     document.all.yl1.style.visibility="hidden"
     document.all.yl0.style.visibility="hidden"
    //setTimeout(1000, "geocitiesadhack")
</script>

* After time geocities may change their variables, then u'd need to update it.
