It's been a while for a Hackvertor update, you might have noticed that the old one hasn't changed in a while. This is because I've finally moved it over to the new one with a bunch of new features. I'll give you a run down of the new tags and features I've added. I still have to create the DOM integration using my DOM api I wrote a while ago but this shouldn't be long, it will allow cool things like building Hackvertor apps that become part of the interface and create real time stuff like IM clients that read current logged in users. In other words Facebook for Hackers.
Sometimes it's a pain to add tags or find which ones you're after so I decided to create a simple natural language processor that allows commands like "Convert this to hex then octal and hash it with md5" and it will build the tags for you. You type into the natural language conversion box, then enter some input select the input if you like then instead of clicking the normal convert button you click the one in the natural language box. Other sentences samples include: "decode hex", "decode but I can't remember what it is", "please hash it with md5" you get the idea.
<h4>New tags</h4>Unicode character lookup is pretty cool:- Enter some input and click unicode_lookup in web services and it will show information about the character. demo
Perform js code on each piece of a string, this replaces the old functionality of hex2dec etc JS str
Dom injection generator, takes the allowed characters inside the tag and builds a dom injection based on those characters:- Dom generator
Find the coordinates of a location:- Find cords
More of this stuff in the new "web services section".
I've also started to create a SQLi section thanks to @lighos's excellent SQLi cheatsheet
<h4>Execute some code</h4>There is also a new "execute" section which will call ideone's excellent API and execute code in various languages like assembler, perl, php, python, smalltalk, scheme even whitespace if you must.
<h4>Javascript console features</h4>I've also upgraded the inspector to use my astalanumerator along with some new button to "execute fresh javascript" this will allow you to call some javascript without retaining any variables that you have created. The output console will also keep a history of any javascript or html you've executed and save it to localStorage, this can be accessed by using the "<" and ">" to go forward and backwards in your history, pretty cool if you've copied and pasted something but the browser crashes or you forget to save it. It can be cleared by using the "clear history" button.
There are other new tags but I didn't really want the blog post to go on forever, oh and if you think something is missing from the old one instead of moaning at me why not write the functionality back :P create some tags!
