Hm. Do you really need interaction at all? Can't you just :visited { margin/pos/whatever }, then probe the dom on that or related elems to extract the juice? Or have browser vendors thought of this?

The page itself can't tell what color the squares(links) are rendered as to the user. That's what the clicking is for. Mwaahaha...

Here's the same exploit disguised as a game, to make it less obvious that it's tricking the user into interacting with it: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/yahh/ Documentation of the game proof-of-concept: http://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2013/05/some-harmless-old-fashio...

My first idea was clickjacking and social networks, but that probably is impossible.

If nothing else, I did get a good list of Programming and Engineering websites :D - http://pastebin.com/zrQ7EBnP

This is OT, trivial and a bit silly: How did you intend the json file? I tried with sublime but couldn't find anything to solve it. Didn't start an IDE for this.

There's several JSON formatter packages that can be installed via Package Control: cmd + shift + P, select "install package", then search for "json". I'm not sure which one I have installed, but doing cmd + shift + P in a proper context and typing "json" should give you an option for "Indent JSON" or similar.

Otherwise, there's always sites like http://pro.jsonlint.com/

I could probably post a similar gizmo on HN with a results static page that says Your interests are: (some subset of) Programming Science Technology Games With literally no scripting, and everyone would find it "reasonably accurate" :D

That would be sort of a specialized version of the Forer effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You could access the webcam and zoom/enhance the reflection in the eyes to get the screenshot.

Think I just found a way using canvas with a semi transparent element inside of it, then overlaying that on each square, grabbing the computed/resulting color of the canvas to decipher which block is what. S O O N

I tried doing this:

http://jsfiddle.net/path411/sRkWq/

It appears as though Chrome (37-dev) will not receive any data from behind the canvas, while IE11 and FF(29) will allow me to see pixels behind the canvas, but only see the unvisited color.

I don't believe there is another method to receive the color of a pixel from a canvas except through getImageData(), but I could be wrong.

If you open the console and run this script, it'll click every single square, giving a list of the most common types of sites in the array being used: for(i=0;i

I had to change it to start at i=1 to avoid clicking on the link to github and leaving the page

Ah, that makes sense, I wrote and ran the script before he open sourced it.
