Browsing the restricted forums without registering

Well it has worked for me and I am posting how you can browse the restricted forums by misusing the SEO things(I guess). A website traffic hugely depends upon the google search and hence most of the websites allow the google bot to crawl and index their pages for appearing in the search result. Now the google bot useragent is allowed to crawl any restricted forum and hence they can index those pages.

The requirement is the useragent switcher add-on for firefox which can be downloaded from HERE. Install this addon and restart it.

Now in the firefox menu, under tools, you will see a new option Default User Agent from where you can choose different user agents and add new user agents. Among the available user agents, you will find the Google Bot 2.1 useragent under the Search Robots option. Choose the Google Bot 2.1 as your default user agent and now start visiting the forums that were asking you to register. It will also work on other types of websites which usually require login. I hope this helps you. Thanks :)

Download the Nepali songs from www.nepalicollections.com

This might be a minor hack but for some nepali music fans, it can be a great honeypot. I didn't see any option in the webpages to download the nepali mp3 songs available at www.nepalicollections.com so had to go with the alternative way when I needed to download tapoban maajha song of Jagadish Samal from this site.

For downloading mp3s from this site, you'll need to install the Downloadhelper firefox addon which I've already discussed in this blog.

Now after you downloaded this addon, go to NepaliCollection Music page and select among the artists available in the artists tab. After selecting the artists, you'll reach to the page with all the songs of that artist.

Now you can select the song you want to download and when you click on play selected option, the Downloadhelper icon will start to animate. Now click on that icon and you will be able to save the MP3 that is currently playing. This site has some really old songs too and the songs that you can't find usually. So its worth trying this trick.

Edit*: The site is vulnerable to SQL injection, maybe I might be writing some PHP script to easily give the download link of any MP3 the user wants to download. Needs some research over the vuln in the site, though.

Have fun with this trick. :)

Download Helper - Download videos from youtube, facebook and almost any site

Today, I found a new mozilla addon that I can use to download any videos, audio and photo galleries easily from any site including but not limited to youtube, facebook, myspace, etc.

DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to capture video and image files from many sites.

Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item

For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace, Google videos, DailyMotion, Porkolt, iFilm, DreamHost and others.

Since version 3.1, you can setup the extension to automatically convert the downloaded movies to your preferred video format.

When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can download some or all of them at once. Moving the mouse over the items in the menu will highlights the links directly in the page to make sure they are the ones you want to pick up.

DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you keep bandwidth to surf for other stuff to download.

To modify your preferences, like changing the download directory, right-click on the icon and choose "Preferences".

Usefull firefox plugins

The Firefox Web Browser is the faster, more secure, and fully customizable way to surf the web. Moreover, it has got thousands of extensions to improve and optimize various aspects of this cool web browser. So lets talk about some useful extensions you will want to have with your firefox browser.

1) Customize google(www.customizegoogle.com): If you use Google, this extension will save you hours of your time over the long run. Download this extension, go to options, and enable streaming search results. You will never ever have to press the Next button after seeing every 10 search results. This will increase your productivity at least 2 times when searching because in the same time it would have previously taken for you to click on the Next button and wait for more results, you now will already have seen the next 10 results, decided what to do and moved on. Extremely useful extension.

2) Fasterfox(http://fasterfox.mozdev.org): Loads faster web pages by prefetching parts. Renders a small page timer counting in seconds.

3) Performancing (http://performancing.com): Excellent extension for bloggers, Performancing, allows you to instantly blog comments you made to any of the major blog systems, or even your own (if your blog supports Moveable Type or WordPress).

4) WebDeveloper (http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper): My personal favourite, it is a Very useful extension for web developers. It creates a toolbar menu with 100s of useful options.

5) NoScript: An absolute must have security addon for your browser, NoScript gives you the power to specify the sites you trust and only those sites will be allowed to run active content like Javascript, Java code and other executable code. The addon thus protects you from cross-site scripting attacks and clickjacking attacks.

6) FoxyProxy: FoxyProxy automatically switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns and switching rules defined by you.

7) Facepad: I was thinking of trying to develop a facebook photo downloader addons and I found one to be already existing on the net. This addon allows you to download whole photo album of your friends. My previous post on this is availabe HERE

8) Adblock Plus: It will filter out hundreds of ads when you surf webpages. Webpages will load cleaner, faster, and will have almost zero ads. If you support the blogger you are reading, you can turn off adblock plus for sites you support with one click.

You will be able to get all these addons from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ the official mozilla's addons site.
