We all know how annoying it is when we search Google for something and the result we are looking for leads to a password protected forum or site. You have to register to view content, but who likes doing that?
Fortunately there is a solution to save your time and email account from spam - pretending to be Googlebot. For those of you that don’t know, Googlebot is Google’s “spider” that crawls sites and indexes them for Google’s search results. More about Googlebot. The owner of a password protected site also wants their site to be on Google, so they make a separate account on their site for Googlebot.
We can use this small security hole and visit a website pretending to be Googlebot. This way you are automatically logged into the site or forum and don’t need to enter any password or login info. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Here’s how:
Step 1. If you’re not using it already, get Firefox! It’s a lot better than Internet Explorer and here’s why.
Step 2. Download and install the User Agent Switcher plugin for Firefox.
Step 3. Restart Firefox to complete the installation and go to Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options. In the window that opens, select the User Agents tab and press Add.
Step 4. Add a new user agent. Write Googlebot for the description and Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.google.com/bot.html)” in the User Agent box as shown above. Press OK and you’re good to go!
Now you can visit most password protected sites and forums that appear on Google’s search results.

How to visit password-protected websites without registering
Hack RapidShare download free using RapGet, JDownloader and Flashget
Here are some tools that will help you download links which will all be stored and processed one after the other. The image verification is filled in automatically by Downloaders which means that you can keep it running in the background all the time without having to actively manage the downloads.Download links can be automatically added by making download manager observe the clipboard. It offers a reconnect feature which has to be configured, an unpacker, a password list, selecting a favored server from each hoster and much more. There are several options that need some explanation though before you can start using it.
Rapget
RapGet doesn't require Java, supports 50 languages, more than 60 file hosting sites, and doesn't spit out German text at you when the language is set to English.
JDownloader
It is a Rapidshare Download Manager that comes with a lot of functions to make downloading files from Rapidshare and dozens other file hosting websites a breeze.
You should first realize that JDownloader needs Java, so make sure that is installed. After unpacking the application you need to execute the file JDownloader.jar to start the installation where you select a download location for the files. Files will be automatically updated during the setup as well.
Before you start to begin downloading files you need to accept the Terms of Service for all file hosters that you want to download from. Open the options, click on Hosts in there and check the TOS of the file hosters.
The language can be set to German and English but even if you select English it looks like a mix of German and English. Not to hard to figure out stuff because the most important elements are well translated.
Flashget
First of all, a few tools. You will need Firefox, Firefox’s FlashGot extension and of course FlashGet. Download link below:Get everything installed, you might need to restart Firefox after the FlashGot extention installation.
OK, now this is the trick. Open FlashGet go to Tools > Options… > Site Manager
Select Add… to add a new URL, http://www.rapidshare.com (see below)
Basically, you are set to go! Now when you download as a free Rapidshare user, when you save the file just select “FlashGot” option instead of “Open with” or “Save to Disk”. (see below)
When you about to download with FlashGet, just delete the link at the Referrer field up to the .com link. (see below)

Top 15 Security/Hacking Tools & Utilities
1. Nmap
I think everyone has heard of this one, recently evolved into the 4.x series.
Nmap
(”Network Mapper”) is a free open source utility for
network exploration or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly
scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap
uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available
on the network, what services (application name and version) those
hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are
running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens
of other characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers and both
console and graphical versions are available. Nmap is free and open
source.
Can be used by beginners (-sT) or by pros alike
(–packet_trace). A very versatile tool, once you fully understand
the results.
2. Nessus Remote Security Scanner
Recently went closed source, but is still essentially free. Works with a client-server framework.
Nessus
is the world’s most popular vulnerability scanner used in over
75,000 organizations world-wide. Many of the world’s largest
organizations are realizing significant cost savings by using Nessus to
audit business-critical enterprise devices and applications.
3. John the Ripper
Yes, JTR 1.7 was recently released!
John
the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many
flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different
architectures), DOS, Win32, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is
to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash
types most commonly found on various Unix flavors, supported out of the
box are Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes, plus
several more with contributed patches.
4. Nikto
Nikto
is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive
tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 3200
potentially dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 625 servers, and
version specific problems on over 230 servers. Scan items and plugins
are frequently updated and can be automatically updated (if desired).
Nikto
is a good CGI scanner, there are some other tools that go well with
Nikto (focus on http fingerprinting or Google hacking/info gathering
etc, another article for just those).
5. SuperScan
Powerful
TCP port scanner, pinger, resolver. SuperScan 4 is an update of the
highly popular Windows port scanning tool, SuperScan.
If you need an alternative for nmap on Windows with a decent interface, I suggest you check this out, it’s pretty nice.
6. p0f
P0f v2 is a versatile passive OS fingerprinting tool. P0f can identify the operating system on:
- machines that connect to your box (SYN mode),
- machines you connect to (SYN+ACK mode),
- machine you cannot connect to (RST+ mode),
- machines whose communications you can observe.
Basically it can fingerprint anything, just by listening, it doesn’t make ANY active connections to the target machine.
7. Wireshark (Formely Ethereal)
Wireshark
is a GTK+-based network protocol analyzer, or sniffer, that lets you
capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames. The
goal of the project is to create a commercial-quality analyzer for Unix
and to give Wireshark features that are missing from closed-source
sniffers.
Works great on both Linux and Windows (with a GUI),
easy to use and can reconstruct TCP/IP Streams! Will do a tutorial on
Wireshark later.
8. Yersinia
Yersinia
is a network tool designed to take advantage of some weakeness in
different Layer 2 protocols. It pretends to be a solid framework for
analyzing and testing the deployed networks and systems. Currently, the
following network protocols are implemented: Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP), Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP),
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Hot Standby Router Protocol
(HSRP), IEEE 802.1q, Inter-Switch Link Protocol (ISL), VLAN Trunking
Protocol (VTP).
The best Layer 2 kit there is.
9. Eraser
Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows),
which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard
drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns.
Works with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and DOS. Eraser is Free
software and its source code is released under GNU General Public
License.
An excellent tool for keeping your data really safe, if
you’ve deleted it..make sure it’s really gone, you
don’t want it hanging around to bite you in the ass.
10. PuTTY
PuTTY
is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix
platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. A must have for any
h4×0r wanting to telnet or SSH from Windows without having to use
the crappy default MS command line clients.
11. LCP
Main
purpose of LCP program is user account passwords auditing and recovery
in Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. Accounts information import, Passwords
recovery, Brute force session distribution, Hashes computing.
A good free alternative to L0phtcrack.
12. Cain and Abel
My personal favourite for password cracking of any kind.
Cain
& Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems.
It allows easy recovery of various kind of passwords by sniffing the
network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and
Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled
passwords, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and
analyzing routing protocols. The program does not exploit any software
vulnerabilities or bugs that could not be fixed with little effort.
13. Kismet
Kismet
is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion
detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which
supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a,
and 802.11g traffic.
A good wireless tool as long as your card supports rfmon (look for an orinocco gold).
14. NetStumbler
Yes
a decent wireless tool for Windows! Sadly not as powerful as it’s
Linux counterparts, but it’s easy to use and has a nice
interface, good for the basics of war-driving.
NetStumbler is a
tool for Windows that allows you to detect Wireless Local Area Networks
(WLANs) using 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. It has many uses:
- Verify that your network is set up the way you intended.
- Find locations with poor coverage in your WLAN.
- Detect other networks that may be causing interference on your network.
- Detect unauthorized “rogue” access points in your workplace.
- Help aim directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links.
- Use it recreationally for WarDriving.
15. hping
To finish off, something a little more advanced if you want to test your TCP/IP packet monkey skills.
hping
is a command-line oriented TCP/IP packet assembler/analyzer. The
interface is inspired to the ping unix command, but hping isn’t
only able to send ICMP echo requests. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP and
RAW-IP protocols, has a traceroute mode, the ability to send files
between a covered channel, and many other features.

SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)
1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)
2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).
Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).
Now your acrobat reader will load very fast
and almost as good as notepad..
