Tracing a website using command prompt

Tracing or Routing a website using command prompt. This tip is only meant for educational purpose. I mainly use this trick to find out the hosting provider where a particular domain is hosted. Follow the below steps: 1.   Start->Run->CMD  ie; open Command prompt 2.  Type the following command and press enter.

Enter and Browse any Forum without registering – Hack

Sometimes it so happens that, you are in search of any software or files like doc or pdf, and come across Forums, where members of that forum post replies to that post. But the problem is, you will not be able to see the post or sometimes you won’t be able to see the contents of the forum. The forum ask you to register and then view the posts.

Whenever you need any information for which you are eager to know about and then Forum will ask you to register and login and then only you will be able to see the contents. You will probably find some another alternative rather than registering (then let it be free!) to any website. After registering, there is no guarantee to get complete and correct information so, why not try to get in and browse everything without registering?

I am not recommending you not to register at any forum. Forums are very useful these days as they are very interactive and interesting, where you connect to other peoples who share their own genuine reviews. But it is also good if you first test and then go ahead and register youself.

These websites generally doesn’t allow unregistered users or guests to enter butthey do allow “Google Bot” or any other search engine bot to enter for crawling purposes

You will need to change user agent to Google bot for browsing forums.

What you need is Firefox Browser and User Agent Switcher [Serch On Google]After installing, create another user agent from the options menu of the addon.
Select User Agent from the left sidebar and click Add. Now in the description field type:

Code:

crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com

and in user agent field type:

Code:

Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)

Now Start browsing by selecting the user agent as Google Bot.

Skip or bypass Rapidshare, Megaupload Waiting time

Yes, you are reading it correctly, its not a prank or joke, now you can easily avoid the waiting time or usually we say time limit when you download as a free user from the file sharing services such as rapidshare, megaupload, deposifiles, hotfile. Normally you have to wait for 20-60 minutes to download the second file after downloading the first one. They implement ways to invite users to purchase a premium service. But this way of limiting Free download limit and asking free users to wait for long time to start another download can be annoying one.

Skipscreen is an extension to browser to by pass waiting time on download. Unfortunately it can only be used with Firefox browsers to avoid waiting time while downloading files from some popular File hosting services like:

* Rapidshare.com
* zShare.net
* MediaFire.com
* Megaupload.com
* Sharebee.com
* Depositfiles.com
* Sendspace.com
* Divshare.com
* Linkbucks.com
* Uploaded.to
* Hotfiles.com
* 4shared.com
* Limelinx.com
* Link-Protector.com

Its use is very simple and does not require any configuration, just go to the addon page of the extension and install it, restart your browser and enter one of thesedownload sites and you will no longer have to wait.

Browse anonymously using Torpark Browser – For downloading multiple files Rapidshare Hacking

I have posted about Skipping or Bypassing Rapidshare or Megaupload, hotfile waiting time.

In this post I have a new Rapidshare hacking tip for you. Well, you might be aware of Browsers like Firefox, or Internet Explorer. I would like to introduce you to a browser known as Torpark Browser, which works as a anonymous web browser. It is like a proxy browser where you can change your permanent IP Address  to dynamic IP Address. So, when ever you run this browser you get a new IP address.  Now download mutliple files at the same time. Yes you read it right, you can download multiple rapidshare files or megaupload, hotfile files at the same time. You can even skip or bypass the time limit on downloading files. The most amazing thing is IDM works with this browser.

Note: You need to close the browser window after each download coz it will reset the ip address.

Description of Torpark Browser:

As a way of avoiding spyware and pop-ups, Torpark successfully allows you to surf the Web anonymously, although the publisher warns of possible connection slowdowns.

The self-extracting file installs quickly, and you can run it from your hard drive, or as the publisher suggests, from a jump drive. Torpark adds to your browser’s toolbar a few unobtrusive buttons, which allow you to activate/deactivate the tool and configure its privacy settings according to your specifications. The tool effectively restricts pop-ups; blocks surreptitious installations of adware, spyware, and cookies; and hides any traces of your surfing. You can check the Torpark Tools menu while visiting a site and build a list of blocked items for the current page; from the same list box, you may add to a white list any or all of the displayed items.

The publisher cautions that using Torpark may slow your Internet connection speed, particularly if you’re using a dial-up, but we noticed no slowdown during our tests. Torpark is free, easy to use, and suitable for all users interested in protecting their privacy while visiting Web sites.
