#  Hardened Paste
*[Hardened Paste](http://hardenedpaste.com/) is a browser extension from the
creator of [Adblock Fast](https://github.com/rocketshipapps/adblockfast),
[Disconnect](http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/13/former-googler-launches-disconnect-browser-extension-that-disables-third-party-data-tracking/),
and
[Facebook Disconnect](http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/20/google-facebook-disconnec/)
that prevents the
[“pastejacking” exploit](https://github.com/dxa4481/Pastejacking). Pastejacking
otherwise allows a [malicious webpage](https://security.love/Pastejacking/)
(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](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hardened-paste/gielgconhpjjpkkfomnkdnfinilggdmk)
(an Opera port is in review).
2. Verify that installing the extension
[has patched the exploit](https://security.love/Pastejacking/) (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](https://www.facebook.com/hardenedpaste)
or [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/hardenedpaste) for app news.
Hardened Paste includes the
[port.js library](https://github.com/oldestlivingboy/port).
