Yes, it easy to make such presentations in Microsoft word or power point but the screenshot showed that it was made in Notepad which is quite surprising for me too. I will search on google for this and let everyone know how it is possible.

I think that the person made it use notepad to type the example and take screenshot of it and then add some boxes and arrows which takes some time rather than using the power point or ms word which is more faster and easier. I wonder why not made it on ms word though.

That thread of yours is good and you can add it in OP. SSL vs. TLS!. Some images are broken in this thread and that thread, you should check and fix it when you have time.

It seems I can't edit the thread as it said that I am blocked. I'll find what's wrong with it then i'll edit it soon after.

Wherever we are or what time it is we need to be very careful about urls and what we click. There are different ways that you can do just to be safe.

My question is our of the topic please forgive me.
How did you make that boxes and arrow on your images?

You can use microsoft word or same applications that let you create arrows and boxes or other shapes you want. That image is not mine and I only use it as an example to show.

I believe that it's essential to know these necessary information about URLs and hyperlinks.

Attackers use hidden links or shortened links to hide their real links. Don't click on link from strangers is the best. People can argue that if you never click on links send to you by a stranger you can sometimes miss good opportunities or miss chances to help the others. To be safe, it is the best. If you decide to open stranger's email, it is time to be careful with any link in emails.

Back in the past, I sent email to professor who I don't know. I only know him after I read his book in which I see his email. I contacted him by email, and ask some question, and a pdf file of this book. He is kindful and generous so he sent me the doc file and he claims to give me his book updates each semester. It is life. Just be kind and you will get help and can help others.

It's quite a healthy practice with verifying of links before clicking it. I hope no one gets phished by it.

As said, I don't verify link if it is from strangers. I ignore them. Verify strange links means risk.

I believe that it's essential to know these necessary information about URLs and hyperlinks. My personal experience about it is that I clicked a link from way back from a group chat in Yahoo Messenger, and it showed a freaking window with pornographic content, and it moves on its own when you try to close it. It's quite traumatizing when it happened to you when you are still young and don't know anything about it, but it sticks with you, and makes sure that you are clicking on the right links.

Most reputed browsers and email platforms allow user to show 'original' url on clicking hyperlink, I believe it's worthy enough to be enabled if not already on by default.

I agree, maybe it's because that I do not own the image provided. I'll find another image or create one on how SSL works and the URL and hyperlink. Thanks for reminding me.

Also, try to type the URL manually every time you need to access a website containing sensitive information.

I seem to remember a scam from a few years ago and I think it concerned myetherwallet.com, where the small "L" was replaced by a capital "i" - not 100% sure about the domain, but the example is the same anyway:

MyEtherWallet
and
MyEtherWaIIet are NOT the same.

In certain font styles, l and I look exactly the same, just like 0 and O etc.

Usually if you visit the sites often, their URL should auto-complete.

Or better, just bookmark.

From what I gather in your article, the key word is centered on referencing on a page. That's it.
There is barely any difference about that as to function, the URL and hyperlink virtually does the same thing.
They making referencing a page to another individual more easier, safe stress, data and time or randomly looking for information.
Also, scammers has exploited this as, you never know what lies behind a URL or hyperlink until you click it and some of these could be coded to give a go or an entry to whom ever might have sent it hence, it's advised to be minding of the URL and hyperlinks you click as they making phishing very possible.

In order to avoid getting Phished out by a wrong site making a user to disclose important details especially online wallet, then one must know about this so as to get into the wrong site which usually hackers do. There are may attempts of this kind here and sad to say that there are really few who falls for it. Being careless is not a fault but it could be preventive to get into trouble by being careful. I must admit I was also being scam but not here. It just a RPG game where i disclose info even the password to think that the site is legit for giveaways. I was wrong when I was not able to log in into my account because the password was change already. However, it was a lesson learn and one may have hard time for me to fall this kind of trap.

Not your keys, not your coins!

URL and hyperlink contain risks of phishing attacks so I agree with OP that everyone should be aware of such risks before make a click on URL or hyperlink.

What to do to avoid phishing sites
Host-file to deal with phishing sites. It is for known, detected phishing sites and can not prevent you from new phishing sites which have not been reported and detected.
Use this for identifying Scam/Phishing/ websites & exchanges in crypto
Punycode and how to protect yourself from Homograph Phishing attacks?
Can also do phising quizzes in [LEARN] Phishing Quizzes - Beginners & Experts to test your level of understandings on phishing attacks.

My composed my topic when I saw yours, A Reminder To Newbies!. One year and you made another one, more details, more informative. Congratulations!

Bump!

As I read in some thread I found a thread explaining about a hidden url or a hyperlink so what comes to my mind is this thread. Read some of the replies have a good point which I forgot to add to this thread. Hope many newbies who haven't know this should read for further learning.

Good info everyone should be careful in clicking links even here in Bitcointalk, In the previous year, I guess someone posted a phishing link here using these Hyperlinks. Sometimes when you are tired you don't have time to hover your mouse to check the link, I install phishing protection like cryptonite extension and ublock origin - ad blocker to prevent these phishing attempts.

The code use to bypass such fake sites is good for desktop while in mobile it is not that easy. We all know that using mobile won't let you hover and those who mostly use mobile phones should be very careful. Much choice to do is open the settings of your browser and try to check about the hyperlink display then find page to search for the hyperlink and see if it is phished site.

I don't understand what you mean. If you copy and paste the text of the link how you could be tricked?
You're wrong IMO, doing a basic copy and paste of the text is safe.
If you get a pasted text different from the one copied, it just means you have a clipboard hijacker malware on your computer...

True, one can't edit the link that has been copied. I was left confused for a moment by his earlier post, haha.

No, you can't do that to solved it. The fact if you're do copy and paste or right-click on that link, it's wouldn't show the real link.
The best way to prevent this is right click on the link and click Inspect. So you will see the fake link and real link

Yeah, but better to showing the script to know the real link directed. Because when we do copy and paste the link, we only see the fake link... not the real malware link.

What is said by @TryNinja is true
This trick can be only found in other website who use Javascript

Quote

The actual link target can be "spoofed" using Javascript: It is quite common for websites to exchange the href value with another link as soon as the user clicks on it. For example, you can observe this when visiting Google search results. When you mouseover one of the links, it will be displayed as https://security.stackexchange.com/... but as soon as you click it, that event is captured and you visit an intermediate site first (https://www.google.com/url?...) which redirects you to the actual target.

Sorry I only found the example case using my local language
This is the website : http://kerax-telor.blogspot.com/2015/11/cara-membuat-link-palsu-ketika-di-klik.html
Scroll down, and if you are hovering your pointer to DOWNLOAD it's will show Facebook.com in the bottom left display. But, when you click it,it's not going to Facebook.com... but go to Kabeka.net

The best way to prevent this is right click on the link and click Inspect. So you will see the fake link and real link.
Or using copy-paste
