It has been known for some time that Microsoft’s unique nude filter technology allows its market leading Internet Explorer browser to display certain images in erotic detail lesser browsers can only dream of; a dozen of those special images are presented below.
To view these advanced images, open them in Internet Explorer and press CTRL + A to select them, or left click and drag over the image to select it.
Note that:
The images must be viewed at full size – scaling will break Microsoft’s unique steganographic algorithms and is not supported.
The images may not display properly in a non-Microsoft OS – even industry leading Microsoft technology is not immune to problems introduced by inferior products. There are reports it can be emulated under some conditions.
The images (click to enlarge, click the arrows in the bottom right to expand the image fully if the image is scaled down):











Details on sources and any related images can be found on the Channel.
See also IE nude filtered Shana for further evidence of IE’s superiority.
I can see through the filters using Firefox. FTW.
Firefox has overcome all!!!
My next silly question would be: What version of IE does this work with. I use FF pretty much exclusively and haven't bothered to update IE since the last time I reinstalled XP on my machine.
Use Chrome ppl.
i just can see through all the "nude" filters in Firefox as well as IE. so i dunno why its superior. and half of these pics arent even trying! could see through the thumbnail like it was nothing!
Opened them in tabs on IE. Guess I'll go take a nap while they load.
is it me or chrome is doing the job without even the full size of the image??
And someone help? It's not working on IE or and other browser I have
That last pic was good.
really funny
if you put your mouse over it, it says 'nude filler danger' :D
I fail to see what's so amazing about this, since IE is not doing anything special for this "filter" to work.
No, you're not gonna get me to use IE ever again.
This just doesn't work for me, it just tints it blue, and I'm using IE so idk what's wrong.
Ok, Chrome and Firefox on linux doesnt help on it.
Even the Javascripts are doing nothing.
Sure, some of the pics when enlarged, it's possible to see through the filter without selecting XD
Anyway, just download all the pics and apply the GIMP filter, hehehe.
(Ok, the PS one if you love paid software...)
It's like this:
Firefox > Flock (it's Firefox but with added stuff) > Opera (which I don't use) > Chrome > Safari (works better on a Mac than PC) > IE6 > IE8
this is sooo wrong :)
no tnx, Firefox no crach no ads no bugs and amazing moduls on domand .
amazing spelling, too.
so why exactly is IE less secure? In order for FF to be secure it needs loads of plug ins and configing.
I have used IE for years and never needed 3rd party software or anything else to stay clean.
Only people who would need anything else are those who are stupid enough to get infected regardless of browser.
"Only people who would need anything else are those who are stupid enough to get infected regardless of browser."
Quoted for truth.
It seems like every time I read flamewars like this, someone is bound to make a comment along the lines of insert-plugin-that-IE-doesn't-have-here making Firefox more secure.
I remember there was a point in time where someone's IT professor lauded FF over IE as being more secure until I had one of his students relay a message to the entire class that Firefox was not fool-proof. The only reason it hadn't incurred the wrath of exploits the likes of which IE had seen was simply because it was relatively new at the time and in the past month and a half from April of '05, 3 patches were released for it. The more popular it got, the more it'd need to be patched; and popular it got with the promise of being an end-all to IE. Irony.
I also had to mention that it wasn't compatible with Windows Update and IE still needed to be used to patch the entire system as opposed to simply getting patches for a browser. The entire class knew that I knew what I was talking about.
"any technology used so widely will attract hacker attacks"
IE is unsecure because it is too much spreaded. Every company working with us is still using that old preinstaled IE 6 on winxp. They're large bank sub-groups but they can't do anything about it ... Their system is so huge it would take weeks to switch a single piece or software. That's why we can only sugest them to download and use some portable browsers (opera and FF) through a usb pendrive ( and even some just don't have any pc but a virtual desktop ... )
Security is a major problem where i work and we do all we can to make our customers use tools that get updated more often
Greetings from Russia! If you don't know, most of in Russia doesn't have very fast I-net connections, but surpisingly enough I don't have any problems dowloading any of these images. So you guys telling "ooh, it's tooo sloow" - there is a problem at YOUR end, it's NOT IE.
And yes yes yes, I second this!!! I started from Netscape Navigator at my 1st year at university (no any experience with Net before), that it's been IE ever since. Tried Opera - no thanks, it's not working properly with some blogs (forcing me to do some things manually instead of automatically).
I NEVER EVER used ANY firewall and/or antivirus. The only things I used is Advanced WindowsCare V2 (install once, click "Immunize" and than can even uninstall it - it still work (registry thing)), AdMuncher (adverts/banners remover obviously, also slightly tweaks IE without messing with engine (again, registry thing)) and lately our own Russian domestic FlashGuard - ONLY because I have a lot of not-so-smart friends.
And in all these YEARS (I'm 30 now, so you can count) I've NEVER EVER get a single maleware. Every time someone giving me freshly updated antivirus (it's been all you know, from our Kaspersky to NOD and Panda) I cheking my system and guess what? NO maleware. And let me say you - I'm not living in some safe isolation. There is times (was, is and will be) when I visiting hackers/krackers sites and dowloading stuff, there is times (again, was, is and will be) when I visiting pornosites - and still NO maleware/
It's not about safety of your browser.
It's all about your brains.
My father using computer since I was a teen, I've already told him a lot about net security, he never ever visit (I know, I can easily see) any hackers/krackers or porno-sites, he tried practically every damn antivirus - and still at least 3 times in a year I've forced to visit him because something goes terribly wrong thanks to new maleware he get G-d knows where. And I mean TERRIBLY - system practically not working because of many "strange" "bugs"; the last time I've been even forced to simply reinstall the whole system (this time it was our domestic Russin maleware). The only time I reistall MY system was because of lightning nearby - blink! - and my system crushed (damn stupid +)).
And to make things clear - I'm NOT hacker/kracker/programmer in any way and I don't have any special education in any of this. I'm just some middle-class worker who treats his computer (that's including installed software, obviously) as HIS OWN, so I just take full responsibility for it. I'm using illegal copy of Windows which means - NO official support. I don't have educated friends nearby on whom I could rely in troubles with my comp.
Thank you all and - sorry for the rant! +))))
The problem isn't the slow internet, but it's the F*CKING IE that's slow. Seriously, IE are for 5-year old kids or retard farts only.
Bullshit.
But where can I get the nudefilter versions that I can use without IE?
some picture failed on IE8
last picture was awesome
scare me for a bit, but still an awesome creation
can be emulated on firefox thanks to bookmarklets and the power of javascript :
on firefox, create a new bookmark, give it the name ctrla and copy past this into the url field :
javascript:(function(){findPos=function(obj){var%20curleft=curtop=0;if(obj.offsetParent){curleft=obj.offsetLeft;curtop=obj.offsetTop;while(obj=obj.offsetParent){curleft+=obj.offsetLeft;curtop+=obj.offsetTop;}}return%20[curleft,curtop];};addHatch=function(img){var%20div=document.createElement('div');div.style.background='transparent%20url(data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAgACAIABAAokav///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAACAAIAAAIDRAIFADs=)';div.style.width=img.width+"px";div.style.height=img.height+"px";div.style.position='absolute';var%20imgPos=findPos(img);div.style.top=imgPos[1]+"px";div.style.left=imgPos[0]+"px";div.style.zIndex="500";div.tag="CTRLA";document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(div);return%20false;};var%20images=document.getElementsByTagName('img');for(var%20i=0;i<images.length;i++){addHatch(images);};})()
found the source on a website featured here : http://community.livejournal.com/ie_ctrl_a
and adapted it to firefox bookmarklet system
create a second one for removing the pattern and name it un-ctrla and pase this in the url field :
javascript:(function(){var%20divs=document.getElementsByTagName('div');for(var%20i=divs.length-1;i>=0;i--){if(divs.tag=="CTRLA")divs.parentNode.removeChild(divs);};})()
doesn't quite work in ie8 anymore.
-1 for ie.
I have IE8 and it works.
PS: if the clothes go more opaque try to move the scrollbar a bit and select the picture again - move the scrollbar and re-select until it goes transparent.
Internet Explorer is shat slow for me. D:
INCREDIBLE. I love this. :) This totally made my month.. or even year!!
It doesn't work on IE8 or Opera.
Fail.
I did not notice any difference in 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12. I did notice it in 2 & 8. With 9 & 10 it was strange because it was already nude unselected and the clothes appeared AFTER I selected it. Maybe my IE settings are wrong or this was changed somehow after the fact?
CCCCCcccccRRRRoooooooooooot .....
Crootz...
IE is for fucking noobs, as is iTunes.
haha this actually works, 'xcept for 6 and 11... and beware of 12, its a TRAP i swear
but IE sucks none the less, its slow as hell and ugly as shit, it even stinks (yeah i know that one is questionably but whatever) and this seems to be working only on masked pics anyway, its not like u can turn every pic into a nude one using Ctrl + A
its a nice feature by all means but... nah waste of time and ive got hentais for that anyway
it works well in FF
IE9 dont work
Bit of a necro here but this was truly weird but amusing it works wonders why :P
>.> ie crashed trying to load the page
And once again porn is a deciding power in technology.
Am I supposed to be seeing something different in IE? Because there's absolutely no difference in how this page looks in IE versus Firefox for me.
Install the add-in IE tabs to Firefox, then you can switch to the IE rendering engine when you like and not deal with that POS IE. Here's the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419, and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909?src=api
Either one should do it.
This has nothing to do with steganography, or any algorithms. Internet explorer highlights an image by darkening a grid of pixels, producing a moire effect, Firefox tints a selected image. These images are edited to exploit this principal. The clothing goes opaque when the pixels invert.
Enjoy your 'high quality' porn. I'll be enjoying my virus free computer.
I just don't see it...
Holy sh*t!
This F*cking Amazing...
but, I prefer my Lolifox....
that last one gives me the creeps
My Firefox works the same way, hah!
*Firefox user*
Huh. Touche capitain.
IE's superiority? Really??? Like you're not a shill/troll running agitprop at Microshafts behest. Every damned browser on the planet conforms to WC3 specs and the latest CSS.... all but IE.Bah.
beware! last one is a trap
Bullshit, was so damn finicky I couldn't get it to work half the time or it had the opposite effect and increased opacity rather than decreased it.
Oh, Aria-chan.. you're so cute..
*fap fap fap... CTRL+A..*
OH SHI~!!!
Well, it's working fine in Firefox...under Linux.
Another fail for microsoft. Their OS is full of holes (although that's easily fixed with a decent firewal+antivirus and regular updates), and their browser is a piece of shit.
You guys need to get a better image server. It's taking forever to load full-sized versions of pictures.
That's because some of them are several mb, but I take your point.
They're gonna be big because of the way the images are constructed - image compression doesn't really work well for this kind of trick. JPEG in particular will struggle with it as it's based on gradients - and the gradients are basically resetting every pixel.
Speaking of which, some of the preview images are a little borked - can probably fix that doing a 1px Gaussian blur before scaling down. Probably. :)
i dont see why IE is better when it seems to work just fine in my firefox, looks EXACTLY the same in IE... >_>
The funny thing is... IE8 refuses to load big pictures more than for 50% on my end
I think it's some censoring conspiracy -_-
I can see some of the transparent effects on Mac OS X and Firefox. A few of them don't seem to do much, but many gives me a nice view. :)
mac user here... i even deleted explorer on my window xp os.
Works the same on chrome... and runs twice as fast... imagine that... Microfail
Just use IE Tab addon and it'll be the same. Anyway, Firefox is better.
I think I'm stupid or something 'cause I can see nipples and everything and I'm using firefox...
same, also the last one causes brick shittage
IE crashes all the time, also long image load time is long.
Fuck. Do I want to bother opening up Control Panel and allowing access to IE?
Nah, no random images could possibly be worth allowing such a piece of shit web browser to be opened on my laptop.
Firefox ftw.
Found the workaround for it, using Chrome. Just go to https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd and install the IE tab plugin, and voila, u can view the "hidden" pictures above :P
Dont see a difference
firefox is better IMO
End of the discussion, these images are the proof who IE is the best browser ever.
BEST-BROWSER-EVER!
A browser with a fail features to display pixel correctly like this is the best?
It is fun though.
Only a idiot would say that IE is the best browser ever, everybody knows that FireFox is the Best !!!
MicroSoft IE~ Fucking SHIT........
Where's the porn that was intended specifically for FF users?
Yeah. That's what I thought.
Not that I support IE anyway. I think it's trash. But fuck off and die, fanboy. You're no less of a shithead just because you don't use it.
IE and FF both suck balls. Lynx is the best browser ever!
Noob
What's Lynx?
fail...
A text-based browser that runs in the terminal
There is no way IE can ever rival Firefoxes addon support or chrome's intuitive/ease of use + speed
IE is the utter fail. No other browsers has as many known exploits.
you do realize that IE's many browser exploits simply proves that it is the most popular browser out yet.
The reported browser statistics from web browsers prove that IE - or browsers claiming to be IE so pages don't say "sorry, this site isn't optimized for your browser" - is the most popular browser. If more exploits meant more popularity, Firefox would be the winner.
Personally, I like Opera. It's secure. Mouse gestures are the only way to go, and it has the features I end up endlessly trying to add into Firefox anyway.
I guess that makes dragonball Z the best anime out yet?
popularity =/= quality
IE has a fraudulent monopoly where it comes pre-installed with any windows OS and its not legitly possible to even remove it from all but the very latest versiions (after many many trials and lawsuits)
IE sucks because it sucks. Period.
And the fact that you'll get to see 2 separate css sheets attached on a variety of pages, 1 for IE, and 1 for every other browser out there, proves that Microsoft fails to optimize it to the world-wide standards of html and css coding.
To 18:01 :
You can repeat this stupid argument every time you want, it doesn't make it true.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_Internet_Explorer
"The Australian computer scientist Shane Brooks demonstrated that Windows 98 could in fact run with Internet Explorer removed.[10] Brooks made his work available as a freeware removal utility called IEradicator, which removes all versions of IE from all versions of Windows 9x. Another programmer named Bruce Jensen published a similar utility called "Revenge of Mozilla." Shane Brooks went on to develop more a more sophisticated program for Windows 98 and ME, marketed as 98lite, which turns IE, along with several other "mandatory" Windows components, into optional components that can be added or removed from the OS at will. He later created XPLite, which renders many parts of Windows 2000 and XP into optional components. Both of Brooks's programs can remove IE after the installation of the operating system."
The only inpacted softwares are the ones who completely depend on the IE rendering engine or proprietary technologies like ActiveX.
So laugh like a moron but stop relaying stupid arguments. At the time of the trial, it could be removed without inpacting the stability of the system.
They didn't remove Internet Explorer because they just didn't want to. Then, they modified a lot of their softwares to make it dependant of the IE engine, making it really annoying to remove.
And I wonder how Windows 7 got it off, huh ?
Amen! IE sucks
You don't really know much about computers, do you. IE is the tip of a big iceberg. The bit you actually see is just a visual front end for a whole heap of stuff like HTML, XML, COM, OLE, VBScript and so on that sits inside Windows. COM and OLE are so fundamental to Windows that it won't work without it, and HTML and XML are necessary for things like SOAP and SOA that are used in the business space. So it's really a nonsense to talk about "removing IE".
It really used to make me laugh in the old browser wars days when Netscape was baaaaawing that it was going bankrupt because Windows came with IE pre-installed. Netscape Navigator, like most of the browsers before and since, was free. How exactly is it unfair to compete against a free product by giving an alternative away free?
TL;DR: If you want a different browser, just install it and move on. Like me (Firefag here).
Firefox wins hands down in addon support
G-Chrome wins hands down in speed and user friendlyness
IE wins in most recorded exploits in browser history.
ah the last image was a bit disturbing tbh
Is this post serious? Internet Explorer is the worst browser out there!
Try reading the article next time
Chrome does it too, without having to hit Ctrl+A as well :P
I guess this feature does give IE enough points to surpass any other browser. hehe
Works also with Konqueror.
*nods*
The opensource hippies wont let you windows users have all the fun.
You mean the communists.
Safari ftw
LOL, no need for IE, mozilla can emulate with a plug in XD and of course, it works with the nude filters =D
i was sooo ready to fap to the last pic, but then it scared my cock back in my pants. darn sanku traps -_-
Incedentally, this page failed to load the first time I opened it...
"Censor" to battle against censors. Though I can't say it can hide that well.
damn I need to run IE for just a couple seconds now...
damn it turned out to be a couple minutes, and you can already see the image underneath once you enlarge it.
fuck IE its too damn slow; thats why I started using lolifox in the first place.
@23:07 25/02/2010
that pretty much sums up my experience. I can't get on with Opera much either, but wont use IE due to the whole ActiveX thing. That was a bloody stupid design decision.
Chrome's been running well since I got it (only a few days after its release). Flash support can still be a bit iffy (can hang for a bit on some youtube vids) but everything else works swell.
Chrome works just fine for me... Compared both IE and Chrome and they displayed all images similarly enough.
First I was like WAT, then I lol'd.
I tried to install IE on my desktop... it was such a pain. It took restarting my computer no less than three times before it was happy. It had 4 toolbars already installed, and each one wanted to be my default search engine or homepage. It doesn't come with adblock, so there was shit everywhere on my pages. I had to decline the Yahoo toolbar like 20 times before it would shut up. I'm sure it's nice enough if you're a long time user, but trying to reinstall that shit was the worst computer experience since before I bought the desktop.
Funny that on pretty much every system I use, FF is slower to start and generally runs no faster or slower than IE in everyday usage.
Well, it's faster at things you don't do, ever...
To me, Firefox have been pretty good at freezing and crashing. And I don't know why I'm still using it.
Chrome?
Exactly what I'm saying. I'm using Chrome and I didn't even need to highlight to see this crappy optical illusion. Guess having a stupid expensive gaming laptop might also have contributed to that too.
Also, having to tweak pictures in order to prove your point... doesn't really prove your point sorry.
Or you can get the IE tab add-on for firefox.
it's drawn by ossanoa on pixiv you dumbass
uuuhhh im running FF and its working for me. you dont need IE, which from my experience, is worse than FF.
Whats with shit like internet-explorer-nude-filter-003-samus.png... showing us american drawn crap? Dreadful and pathetic art.
you can also install lunascape6 and select trident engine
There's a branch project called Coral IETab since the original IETab creator hasn't updated for the newer versions of Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909
Unfortunately it's not yet compatible with Firefox 3.6. Also they weren't working for me in IE nor Chrome, so I opted for Photoshop.
For anyone who has Photoshop and/or can't get these to work, a quick and easy way to solve the filter:
1) New document, 2 pixels by 2 pixels
2) Pencil the top-left and bottom-right pixel a mid-level grey (black or white will lighten or darken the image, but still look okay)
3) Edit->Define Pattern->OK
4) Drag the image in from your non-IE browser
5) Layer->New Fill Layer->Pattern->OK->OK
