Finding a invisible user on Yahoo! Messenger

Many people nowdays prefer to stay offline while using Yahoo! Messenger -

mostly done to avoid someone. There are many ways of finding people who are online but yet invisible.


First Method: Doodle Method

1. Double Click on the user whose status you want to check.

2. A message window will open.

3. Click IMVironment button, select See all IMVironments, select Yahoo! Tools or Interactive Fun, and click on Doodle.

4. The last step and the most important step. After loading the Doodle IMVironment, there will be two possibilities.

a) If the user is offline, the Doodle area will show “waiting for your friend to load Doodle” continuously. If the user is online (in invisible mode), after few seconds (it can take up to one minute, depending on connection speed), you will get a blank page. So the user is online!

There is a counter attack of this trick:

Go to Messenger>>Preferences>>Messages and now uncheck Enable IMVironments. Now this trick is nullified!


Second Method: Voice Chat

1. Double Click on the user whose status you want to check.

2. Click on “Voice” icon on the toolbar, or select “Contact” menu and select “Enable Voice Chat” .

3. The deciding part… there are 2 possible results:

a) If the user is offline, you will get this message: “Internal server error. Cannot obtain voice token to start voice chat.” If the user is invisible (actually online), you will see the Voice Toolbar.


Third Method: Conference Invitation


1. Right Click on the user whose status you want to check.

2. When the menu appears, select Invite to Conference.

3. A window will appear. See at the right pane, the username you selected will be there. Now, click Invite.

4. The deciding part… there are 2 possible results:

a) If the user is offline, you will get this message: “None of the users in the invite list are available to join the conference. Please try at a later time.”

If the user is invisible, you will get a window similar saying: “You are now logged into voice conference - "


Fourth Method: Buddy Spy

1. Get Buddy Spy fromhttp://www.buddy-spy.com

2. Go to configure and enter your login details.

3. Now go to Buddy Spy option and enter the username you want to track. You can also check multiple ids also. Not only Buddy Spy tells the status of Chat but also Room Chat and WebCamera status of that user also!

4. You can edit other options through Scan Options menu.


Now Have a great chatting!

Technology behind Free SMS

I am revealing the technology behind free sms which many online free SMS Service providers use it and also may be asking you to buy SMS credits to send SMS.

Most of the Online Free SMS Service Providers write their programs in ASP or PHP. The basic model is when you send a SMS to your friend, for example 9849012345, then the web program just emails your SMS content to 9849012345@airtelap.com. This is very simple, easy and for God sake they are also charging you for this.

If your are an expert in ASP or PHP then simply write a program with the information I gave below and then now you can offer free SMS from your own website.

You can now send SMS to your family members, colleagues, relatives, friends mobiles with free of cost. It is free for the receiver mobile also as all incoming SMS to any mobile in India is free. In India the cellular operators are not charging for incoming SMS. So enjoy funSMS.net service!!!

Dumb USB File without the knowledge of the User

USB Dumber runs silently as a background process once started and copies the complete content of every connected usb device to the system without the knowledge of the user. It creates a directory with the current date and begins the background copying process. The user has no indication that his files are copied from his USB drive unless he does know that USBdumper is running on the system. (or accidentally find the directory with the copied files).

Just imagine this tool running on a public computer with no access to the task manager or a software like process explorer. You would not know that the files are copied. What could you do to protect against this program ? You could encrypt your data, if you use a tool like true crypt for example. Even if the files are copied they are useless unless the “attacker” knows your passphrase.

Watch over 700+ TV Episodes online

Peekvid.com offers more than 700 episodes of well know tv series like 24, Buffy, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy aso for free. You can view them online or even download them to your pc. I´am not sure if this site will be online much longer but enjoy it will it´s there.

Disposable E-mail Address Services

Before I start listing several websites and services that allow you to use “one-use” email addresses I will shortly explain why everyone should have at least one service at hand all the time.
We all know websites that require you to register before you can see their content. Many are free sites that force the user to register to see the content, some do this to avoid spam on their boards and comments, some to avoid that bots flood the site and some to sell your personal information. The last type of sites are the worst of course, spammers buy millions of email addresses and send their spam to them. There is a good way to avoid this: Disposable Email Address Services.

There are two ways to avoid spam when registering somewhere on the internet. First you can use Disposable Email Address Services that allow you to check an email account that is not your own and email aliases that webmailers like gmail and yahoo mail offer. I will only post free sites that offer the first service.
The procedure itself is always the same. You go to the website of the service and take a look at the requirements of the email address. For example the service www.mytrashmail.com offers only free emails that use somename@mytrashmail.com. After this you visit the website you want to register with and enter an email address which could be anything as long as it ends with @mytrashmail.com.
It´s a simple concept. Once the account is created you recieve a verification email from the website you registered with and have to reply to it. Visit the services website, in this case www.mytrashmail.com and enter the name of the email address that you specified in the registration process. It can take 1-2 minutes before you can read the mail but it should appear sooner or later.
After that you might want to delete the mail to prevent that another user might check the same email address and find your registration information. He could go to the website and demand that the password is send out again to the email, check it then and use your account. So, delete it when possible to be on the safe side. Or use aliases that are hard to guess, something like tu834ffe.
You should also make sure that no one (but admins) is able to see your email address that you registered with. Other than that, it´s a safe method.
If they sell your email now all mail will be send to the disposable email address service and deleted there after some time.
It´s also a great way to stay relativly anonymous.


Email Aliases:

This is becoming increasingly popular. I only tested it with my gmail account but friends told me that yahoo for instance is offering a similar service. You can send emails using a service called plus addressing. This is not documented yet in the help files so I explain the basic concept. Lets say your email address is ghacks@gmail.com and you want to register at a website. You might register with an email alias that looks like ghacks+sitename@gmail.com. The verification mail will be send to your inbox and you can reply to it to activate the account.

This feature has advantages but also an disadvantage. First, if you recieve spam you can control it by filtering all mails that are send to the email alias. You can also verify that a site is selling your email to spammers if you are using unique aliases for each site you register with.

A disadvantage is that spammers only need to parse the email to check for the + and everything that follows up to the @ sign. They will then have your real email and can send you spam again.
Oh, one other service that a user posted in the comments of my last article on the subject is called bugmenot.com. They are basically a search engine for registration data for various sites. You search for the site you want to register and they probably have already some account data in their database. This of course only works if you just want to read and not participate as a unique user.

Saving Real Audio to Hard Disk

You will need the following tools: Real Player, Real Player Alternative or another tool / plugin that plays real audio files. I suggest Real Player Alternative

There is more than one way to save the files. I try to give an overview on all of them, there are surely more out there but I think its sufficient if you know how to save them, no one needs more than 2-3 ways for the same process.

1. Go to a webpage that offers Real Audio Streams, they normally offer a link to a .ram file which you download. The .ram file only contains the link to the .ra / .rm file, and thats what we need. Remember the .ra file contains the audio, the .ram file the location of the audio file.
Download the .ram file and open it locally with a text editor. You should see a line with a link to the audio file. If you are lucky the url starts with http:// If thats the case simply copy paste the url into your browser and you are prompted to download the audio file.

Unfortunatly most of the time the url does not start with http but with rtsp:// for example. The browser won´t download this files, there is a workaround for this though. Just a quick note, there is an older format as well, just in case, don´t worry if you find a pnm:// link, its just the old protocol. There should not be a lot of those around anymore.

You can use the flashget program to which is a download manager to save streams, it is able to handle the rtsp:// format as well as others.

Once on your hard disk simply double click to start the audio

Internet Error Codes

When you hav enter a site and it shows site unable with an error code. You can make out that the problem is by refering to these error codes.

Q: What do all those error codes (like 404) mean?

A: It happens to all of us. We're surfing along, and up comes an error. What do all those error codes mean?

Here's a quick rundown of the most common:

400 - Bad Request - You probably typed in a URL wrong, the server has no clue what you're looking for, or you aren't allowed to have access. Usually, it's a matter of the URL being typing in wrong. Maybe you mixed upper and lowercase letters or something.

401 - Unauthorized Request - you tried to get to something on the web server you're not allowed to play with. In other words, you ain't on the party list.

403 - Forbidden - You can't access the page. You may not have access (it may require a password), or it may be blocked from your domain.

404 - Not Found - The page you were trying to look at was not found on the server. This is probably the most common error you'll come across. What has probably happened is that the web page you were going to has been removed or re-named.

500 - Internal error - Usually caused by a CGI error. You fill out a form, but the script used to process it is not working properly.

503 - Service Unavailable - The server may be overloaded, down, or have other similar problems. Try later

India Cellphone Numbering

All mobile numbers in India have the prefix 9 (This includes pager services,
but the use of pagers is on the decline). Each zone is allowed to have multiple
private operators (earlier it was 2 private + BSNL, subsequently it was changed
to 3 private + BSNL in GSM 900/1800, now it also includes 2 private
+ BSNL in CDMA). All cellphone numbers are 10 digits long, (normally)
split up as OO-AA-NNNNNN where OO is the operator code,
AA is the zone code assigned to the operator, and NNNNNN is the
subscriber number.
Numbering plan
92-xx-yyyyyy - Tata Indicom mobile phones (CDMA).
93-xx-yyyyyy - Reliance India Mobile (CDMA).
94-xx-yyyyyy - BSNL GSM Network.
97-xx-yyyyyy - All GSM operators except BSNL
98-xx-yyyyyy - All GSM operators except BSNL
99-xx-yyyyyy - All GSM operators except BSNL
