Link Hijackery 101

Link Hijackery is an ancient art form where one cleverly manipulates URLs to lead the user to a completely different destination.

Here are some techniques to help you master this dark art:

• URL shortening: A classic move where you shorten the link to make it look innocuous, but in reality, it leads to a phishing site.
• Domain jacking: A technique where you hijack a legitimate domain and replace it with your own, making it look like the real deal.
• Cross-site scripting: A move where you inject malicious code onto a legitimate site, making it look like the real deal, but really, it's just a Trojan horse.
• Cross-site scripting 2.0: Same as above, but with a 2.0.
