Logo Hardened Paste

Hardened Paste is a browser extension from the creator of Adblock Fast, Disconnect, and Facebook Disconnect that prevents the “pastejacking” exploit. Pastejacking otherwise allows a malicious webpage (this is a proof of concept) to copy arbitrary content to your clipboard. The extension mitigates this threat by providing a shim that overrides exploitable JavaScript methods. Hardened Paste’s toolbar icon animates whenever a potential attack is detected and stopped.

To get started:

  1. Install Hardened Paste for Chrome (an Opera port is in review).

  2. Verify that installing the extension has patched the exploit (you may have to use your keyboard to copy, pressing Control-C with Windows or *nix or Command-C with OS X, to trigger an attack).

  3. Follow Hardened Paste on Facebook or on Twitter for app news.

Hardened Paste includes the port.js library.
