Become a Google Bot!

Speaking of IP banning that will never work they'll just use some trick you need to ban their hole Ip range

 

This is hilarious as it has nothing to do with hacking. Changing your agent name and/or type and the way it shows up to the web pages visited is a very old trick. For Unix users this is even more simple.

Anyway, a good post. Thx for bringing this up!

 

your welcome.

 

what kind of information i can you see with this. The big question is can you add data.?

 

yeah you are right Chris, you never said it ajsa52 and allout did......sorry for directing the rant the wrong way

 

thats ok ....

 

What's the benefit of applying this trick?

 

Its just fun plus you can be a google bot

 

some websites restrict users from seeing certain areas of the site unless you are a subscriber but they allow googlebot to crawl and index these pages.....IF you trick the site to think you are Googlebot, you will be able to see these areas....

 

i wish i was an ebay bot

 

Lol, why would you wish you were an ebay bot.

 

It's a pretty neat trick. Depending on what you do with it I'd say it is technically cracking if you use it to get around a password. As for it's legality, again I think it has to do with what you do with it.

Also, please learn the (albeit now blurred) difference between hacking and cracking.

 

Has no one thought of simply using the google cache to view the pages restricted only to the googlebot?

Would this then make google hackers for providing premium rate members only content to the masses?

 

saw this on digg long time ago

 

i used the googlebot agent trick last week and my isp came to my home and took my computer and said i was banned from the internet. so i use my microwave oven hooked up to my t.v. to connect to the internet now. much faster connection, i must say. wish i would have thought of it sooner JK

 

we should not get blame to trick the site into accessing their restriction site.
they should be blame, they tricked us. they show their result differently from what google sees.

isnt it consider blackhat if what SE bots see is different from what human see.

sites like expert exchange, the solution is in google result, but when click, it requires you to be member to view solution.

 

that's one of the sites it used to work on but I don't think it works anymore

 

Haha, that's cool, Chris!

Thanks for sharing

 

yup, share the knowledge

 

doesn't always work.....plus some of these sites are smart enough to tell Google not to cache these pages
