[TRK] Masquerading Your Browser

Here's a really cool trick to disguise your browser as another one......
I insist on using Mozilla Firefox, not bcoz m publicizing it, but bcoz its the best!!!
   alrigh, so here it goes,
When your browser requests a page from a Web server, the browser sends information about itself along with the request. Typically, this information includes the browser type (Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla, etc.), the browser version, and the underlying platform (Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS X, etc.). The server then uses this information to select an appropriate page format for the browser, since different browsers (and even different versions of the same browser) have varying incompatibilities in their support for HTML and JavaScript.
Sometimes the server misinterprets or fails to recognize this information and sends you an incorrectly formatted page. In rare cases, the server may even deny you access to its pages, whether it's for political reasons (you're using a browser that the site disapproves of) or because its pages have only been tested for use with specific browser versions. The solution is to fool the server by having your browser masquerade as another browser.

 HOW TO DO IT:
Open Mozilla Firefox, and in URL bar type
about:config
now add a new value
right click anywhere > select new > select string
"general.useragent.override"  as preference name (without quotes)
Then it asks for a string value
Heres what you got to enter to masquerading your browser

For Internet Explorer 6
 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
For Internet Explorer 7
 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
For Internet Explorer 8
 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1)

For iPhone 3.0
 Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16

For Google Chrome v4.0.213.1 (For older version, replace the version in the value)
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.213.1 Safari/532.1 

For Google BOT
 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
For MSN BOT 1.1
 msnbot/1.1 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)
For Yahoo slurp
 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp) 

But this is a temporary method
Ones you close your browser, the settings goes off and your back to default 

Theres one more way around
There is a plug-in for Firefox which allows you to do is quickly
i.e. User Agent Switcher
It doesnt includes some latest browsers though like Google Chrome though
But they can be added up to it 

Heres a script to find out your browser's current UserAgent
javascript:document.writeln(navigator.userAgent)

[TRK] Find if a friend is faking to be invisible on Yahoo

Sometimes some of your friends who appear offline in yahoo messenger may not be actually offline, they may in the 'Invisible' mode. This maybe if they are trying to ignore you or are too busy to talk to anyone.

There is this small trick that you can use to find out what the truth is.

Firstly open your yahoo messenger main window and double click on the name of the person whom you want to check. The chat window will open obviously.

Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle.
After loading the Doodle imvironment there can be two possibilities

1.If the user is offline Doodle are will show this "waiting for your friend to load Doodle" continuously .See in the picture below:


2:If the user is online (but in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on your connection speed), you should get a blank page like in the picture below. So you know that the user is online.

[HACK] Skip Registering on sites a.k.a Faking as GoogleBot

So sometimes u r to lazy to login or u forget password and u quick need some information.

So good way is faking UA <- User Agent
For this you will need Mozilla Firefox (browser)
Type in URL bar following:
about:config
then u should see alot of options which can be changed
1cm down u will see "Filter:"

Type in box "useragent" without quotes
We need to change just
general.useragent.extra.firefox
Deafult is Firefox/x.x.x or something like that (which is you firefox version)(Note it down before changing it, and try not updating your firefox when the changes are on)
So how to bypass login on that websites?
just double click & type in that field

Googlebot/2.X

So websites will think u r google bot and allow u searching on website without login
After your work is done, you better change it back to normal, before google finds the glitch and patches it !!!
Best of luck!!

[TRK] Chattin Through Command Prompt

If u want personal chat vid a friend
you don't need to download any yahoo messenger
All you need is your friends IP address and Command Prompt.
Firstly, open Notepad and enter:
@echo off
:A
Cls
echo MESSENGER
set /p n=User:
set /p m=Message:
net send %n% %m%
Pause
Goto A

Now save this as "Messenger.bat". Open the .bat file and in Command
Prompt you should see:
MESSENGER
User:
After "User" type the IP address of the computer you want to contact.
After this, you should see this:
Message:
Now type in the message you wish to send.Before you press "Enter" it should look like this:
MESSENGER
User:27.196.391.193
Message: Hi
Now all you need to do is press "Enter" n start chatting...

[TIP] Get any serial u want

Get the serial number you need ! (For Certain Things)

* Go to Google.

* In the search field type: "Product name" 94FBR

* Where, "Product Name" is the name of the item you want to find the serial number for.

* And voila - there you go - the serial number you needed.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Quite simple really. 94FBR is part of a Office 2000 Pro cd key that is widely distributed as it bypasses the activation requirements of Office 2K Pro. By searching for the product name and 94fbr, you guarantee two things. 1) The pages that are returned are pages dealing specifically with the product you're wanting a serial for. 2) Because 94FBR is part of a serial number, and only part of a serial number, you guarantee that any page being returned is a serial number list page.

See these example searches:

"Photoshop 7" 94FBR
"Age of Mythology" 94FBR
"Nero Burning Rom 5.5" 94FBR

[TIP] How to remove Virus from USB Drives,manually

One of the ways by which a virus can infect your PC is through USB/Pen drives. Common viruses such as 'Ravmon' , 'New Folder.exe', 'Orkut is banned' etc are spreading through USB drives. Most anti virus programs are unable to detect them and even if they do, in most cases they are unable to delete the file, only quarantine it. Here are the things which you can do if you want to remove such viruses from your USB drives

Whenever you plug a USB drive in your system, a window will appear similar to the one shown here.

Take a look at this screenshot:

Don’t click on Ok , just choose ‘Cancel’. Open the Command Prompt by typing ‘cmd‘ in the run box. In the command prompt type the drive letter and : and press enter.
eg  I:
Now type
dir /w/o/a/p
and press enter.

This will display a list of the files in the pen drive. Check whether the following files are there or not

* Autorun.inf
* Ravmon.exe
* New Folder.exe
* svchost.exe
* Heap41a
* or any other exe file which may be suspicious.

If any of the above files are there, then probably the USB drive is infected. In command prompt type
attrib -r -a -s -h *.*
that is     attrib[space]-r[space]-a[space]-s[space]-h[space]*.*
and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files. Now just delete the files using the command
del filename
eg del Ravmon.exe
Delete all the files that are suspicious. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus(if you have one) program to check whether it is free of virus or not. Now remove the drive and plug it again. In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the “Autorun.inf” file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears above.

[TRK] Edit any web site...just for funn

Edit any web site (good one)
take any web page (eg google.com)
paste this code in address bar

javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on';void0


thn press enter

now ......edit.....have funn......(this is not hacking)

[TIP] Correcting System Hang at Startup

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent Transfer) running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't work for most. Here's what you need to do:

1. Click on Start -> Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
2. Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service, disable it, apply the changes & reboot.

This problem with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service should have been corrected in Windows update Q 314862, part of Service Pack 1.

If your copy of windows is not genuine, and you happen to visit microsoft.com or install the automatic update - WGA Validation Tool (KB892130) and WGA Notifications (KB905474), then windows gives a nag screen on start up, and also gives random pop-up balloons.

Step 3) It will ask for confirmation, don't click on anything, wait
Here's the tricky part of it
Step 4) Now open C:\Windows\System32 and look for WgaTray.exe, select it, and then delete it.
Step 5) It will ask for confirmation to delete, wait
Step 6) Now align that end process confirmation box over the delete confirmation box.

Step 8) Lauch RegEdit(Start=>Run=>regedit)
Step 9) Browse to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
Step 10) Delete the folder WgaLogon and all its contents
