Best Blackhat Forum

Below you will find a list of useful sites and programs that may help you with your site design, content, and other such things on-site, as well as programs and resources for general activities you perform throughout your IM workday.


things to note:

* there are programs on some sites. download at your own risk. i have downloaded some but not all of these programs so please take caution. I don't have time to do virus total for 30+ programs

* some of these things you already have seen. someone else hasn't though. please don't complain if i shared something known to most. never know who needs it


* some are on first page of google, but i've searched for hours before finding what i needed because even one letter off on google won't get you what you want at times. so please don't bash for stuff on first page of google.


* I got a bunch of these from a similar post on wicked fire, so not going to take credit for all links. just made the ones from there a bit more compact and tried to organize it as well.

* i tried to add {code}{/code} to every link, if i missed one mods sorry!

1. Programs
2. Project managers
3. Tracking
4. MISC
5. footers
6. website layouts/graphics/social media buttons/patterns
7. vector graphics
8. firefox plugins
9. Content Mangement Systems
10. iphone
11. text editors

And here we go, enjoy:

Code:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox...developer/

- install, hit shift-ctrl-f, then click on an element to see what it is (like click on a title to see i.e. if its really a h1 or if the wp template you are using is F****** up your seo efforts)

some others:
firebug plus pagespeed - checks your website for speed breaks and tells you what to do.

xmarks - bookmark synchronizer, nice for research too (smarter search feature)

ghostery - deactivates google analytics and other trackers - so your own visits dont show up in analytics

betterprivacy - takes care of flash cookies

pencil - scatching software for creating wireframes

scrapbook - really cool bookmark addon that saves the site you've bookmarked locally, you can edit it with comments, mark text, etc

Code:

http://stackoverflow.com/

- ask your programming questions here


Iphone:

Code:

http://www.phonegap.com/

Code:

http://testiphone.com/

- test what a website would look like on a iphone. Keep in mind, auto detecting websites won’t pick up that it’s a iphone. For example, I have a site that redirects to a mobile version when you goto it on a mobile device, in this case, it will not redirect. So goto the url directly
