The thirty-second annual Chaos Communication Congress carried the tagline “Gated Communities”. CCC is probably the oldest hacker conference and “Gated communities” worked very well as a theme for this year.

We will demonstrate a real hacker attack that leads to gaining all the data in the database, including credit card information stored in the web store.

Our customers and friends often ask us how a real hacker attack looks like. We want to show this on a very simple, but very common vulnerability called Cross Site Scripting or XSS.

As big fans of open source, we feel the urge to support the community and contribute to the projects we like. And because our code is ugly as hell, we try to do it at least by reporting bugs and security vulnerabilities.

In this post I would like to show you how to install three very useful Google Chrome extensions that will increase your privacy and comfort online. You can either watch this short video that will explain everything or follow this post with screenshots.
