You could take a look at testing with spock & groovy. With those you can instantiate browsers and control their behavior with just some lines of groovy code. Haven't heard of any tools that still work and do the job right, so though it might seem a bit of an overkill, it may just be worth the effort and you learn something cool ;-)

> do you mean "to make web projects" or do you mean "web-based ide"?

That is a really interesting question.

For 1: If you have no money try NetBeans / Eclipse. In my experience eclipse can be a pain in the ass if you need certain plugins etc. Sometimes you have to search the web for repo-adresses that are compatible with your IDE-version and the other plugins and if you don't use a new version you may have trouble installing plugins from the marketplace. NB is pretty good for open source software and I prefer it to Eclipse.

If you have the money / are a student (who don't have to pay), just use WebStorm / IntelliJ Idea. It is a really superior IDE and you don't want to use anything else once you tried the integration / workflow with it, it's just beautiful how things 'just work'.

For 2: I checked out codio, but the price is really expensive and I'd rather use intelliJ etc. Depending on what you want to write something like Firefox Web IDE doesn't look that bad (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Tools/WebIDE). For the web I think the best thing would be to port atom.io to a webApp. This would be the next awesome thing ;-)

I stumbled over an interesting cross-platform approach that even has been audited: https://whiteout.io

What do you think about it?

Exactly! PPL don't care for encryption before I hack their WA/FB communications or show them the content of their "personal documents" folder... This makes an approach to teach them such important stuff much more difficult because it's rather theoretical.

A real attacker wouldn't demonstrate that but just use the material he gains to make money in any way or destroy the lives/careers of the people.

The law is called "Hackerparagraph" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbereiten_des_Ausspähens_und...)

yes I think your approach is the better technical solution.

that is very nice to hear :-)

I use GPG/PGP sometimes and Telegram-Messenger often and cut all connections (Facebook, private Gmail, Whatsapp).

It seems that this is very unpopular because many ppl just don't care about "this NSA crap" and think of me like "tinfoil hat" when I tell them something about security.

I really would like to teach some lessons so they know what this is all about but therefore you have to break the law in germany... They are going on being lazy and just use "what everyone does", I'm disappointed by humanity sometimes.

It reminds me of affective, developed in MIT. I hope this time it will be Open Sourced instead of sold like the other one. I think marketing companies have already enough tools to fool us...
