Hello guys, today in this article we will talk about why HTML is called NASA hacking programming language.
Why HTML is called NASA hacking programming language?
If you know programming or web development then you would have definitely heard of Hacking NASA with HTML or HTML hackers. Is it really possible to hack NASA with HTML?
In short the answer is No, it's not possible to hack NASA with HTML. HTML is a Standard Markup Language that is used to build structure of web pages or websites not to hack any system. There are actually other programming languages used in Hacking like C, C++, SQL, PHP, Python, Javascript, Ruby and Assembly etc. These are the top programming languages used in Hacking.
Now the question arises then why is it called NASA Hacking programming language, let's see what really it is.
If you go to NASA's official website or any other website you would like and right click on the homepage of the website then you will see a dialog box appears on your screen and in the dialog box there will be many options option, in these options one will be named as INSPECT or OPEN DEVELOPER TOOLS or any ither name it varies depending upon operating system or browser you have installed on your machine.
In Chrome it's simple just right click and click on inspect and in Mozilla Firefox just right click and then click on open developer tools. If you didn't see these two options i mentioned above then you can search on google this 'how to inspect element in <your browser name / your operating system name>, after finding click on inspect element or open web developer tools after clicking a screen like below image will appear.
You will not understand this if you don't know anything about programming or web development, but if you are a web developer or a programmer/coder who knows HTML then you will understand this very easily.
Now take a look at below GIF's it shows how you can easily select specific item on screen and inspect it to manipulate it using HTML.
In below picture i am on a internet speed testing website and i am selecting internet speed shower element and changing it to -5 😂
There are a lot of things you can do with this inbuilt browser toolbar, you can search on google or YouTube to see what else can you do with this toolbar but if you are a web developer / designer then you don’t need to to search something you know how to use this toolbar properly.
This is the main reason behind '
Why HTML is called NASA hacking programming language' now you will say why, let me explain to you if you visit the official homepage website of NASA which is
https://nasa.gov when you are finally on the homepage of this website then you can repeat the same process we did above like right clicking and then opening developer tools and then you can click on NASA logo and change it with whatever you want. But the changes you make on the web page or website using developer tools or inspect element these are only visible to you because when you will refresh the webpage you will notice all changes you made are gone.
