Dudhsagar Falls - An exhilarating rail trek in the picturesque Western Ghats

Usually the trips we plan gets finalized at the last moment - making all the bookings a day or two before. But, For this trip we just changed the usual way. This was a well-planned one. We had booked train tickets and stay almost a month in advance. We boarded the train from Bangalore City station. We had our reservation in  Rani Chennamma Express  till Londa Junction. We reached Londa Junction at around 8:30 AM. We had breakfast at the station - Vada Pav and Idli Vada - were only things available there.

Christmas Weekend Trip to Pondicherry and It's awesome !

Last year we went to pondicherry for a weekend trip, just after Christmas (26th -28th of December 2014). It all started with "Yaar ! Is weekend toh kahin ghumne jaana hai ? Kuch plan kar bhai !".(Yaar ! Let's plan for a weekend trip.) We were planning for a trip on 25th December for the coming weekend. Friends put forward few suggestions and ultimately we decided to go to pondicherry and the main reason for this decision was the availability of tatkal tickets in the only train from Bangalore to Pondicherry (16573/Yesvantpur-Puducherry Weekly Express). Thanks to IRCTC and everyone else who didn't book a ticket in this train otherwise tatkal tickets vanish in few seconds. After we zeroed-in on a destination, we started asking friends and colleagues to join for the trip and finally 4 of us were in for the trip and sadly, the numbers were the same as it was at start. It was peak season for tourists in Pondicherry and It was very difficult to get a hotel room b...

Embed Images Directly into HTML

In HTML, images are defined with the <img> tag. <img src="url" alt="some_text"> The src attribute defines the url (web address) of the image. The alt attribute specifies an alternate text for the image, if it cannot be displayed. If you want to show an image, you write something similar to this in your HTML : <img src="html5_sticker.png" alt="HTML5 Sticker"> But, sometimes you may want to show an image on your webpage but you don't want to link an external image file. In that case, you can directly embed your image into the HTML without having to link to an external file. The idea behind it is that the browser interprets the image file in encoded format. So why not we directly put the encoded data in the src attribute of <img> tag. One of the advantages of embedding the image directly into the HTML is Portability. There are so many online Base64 Image encoder available on the web. Just google it and y...

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability

Cross-site scripting   ( XSS ) is a type of   computer security   vulnerability   typically found in   Web applications . Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of injection, in which malicious scripts are injected into  trusted web sites.   Cross-site Scripting ( XSS )  is generally believed to be one of the most common application layer hacking techniques. XSS is the hacking technique that leverages vulnerabilities in the code of a web application to allow an attacker to send malicious content from an end-user and collect some type of data from the victim. An attacker can use XSS to send a malicious script to an unsuspecting user. The end user’s browser has no way to know that the script should not be trusted, and will execute the script. Because it thinks the script came from a trusted source, the malicious script can access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by the browser and used with th...
