This hack (and the related Firefox addon) is really incredible, I have go to tell you. But what left me  speechless is that it  works for real! But why would you like to disguise yourself  into a GoogleBot? Why would you like to cheat and trick websites, blogs and forums into thinking you are a GoogleBot spidering their web pages? Well, the most simple explanation is that in this way nobody will recognize you. Basically, apart from the IP address which will be left as it is, you won’t left any footprint on those websites logs because you will look like a regular, true Google robot! But, of course there is more at stake here. As you know, a lot of forums don’t allow you to see  and read their contents or whole threads unless you are a registered member. With this trick you will be able to bypass and skip registrations because all hidden content will be completely visible to you! Continue reading »

This guide will show you how to install and run old, incompatible or outdated addons (extensions) on Firefox recent versions without using any third-party software.

This time we will hack the outdated  old addon itself by making it compatible with your Firefox installed version! Such a tutorial is slightly difficult (but not too much!) but the results will be longstanding as they won’t be affected by further and new Firefox releases! If unsure, check this special Firefox plugin check page to know if the plugin you are about to hack has been updated or not! Continue reading »

Nowadays there are a lot of fake websites on the Internet trying to deceive you in order to inject viruses or malware on your computer or convince you to type your credit card number or private data on their fake forms  to steal your money or worst, your identity. I am talking about phishing websites or websites disguised to look alike to bank or shopping websites, for example. What hackers do in these cases is to download the whole original websites and upload it to their server. The only thing that they can not do (more or less) is to match the original website address. Of course, on the Internet there are hundreds of free software able to detect such scams and fraud by alerting you in different ways. However, if you are looking for a simple, thus effective way to know if a website is  fake or not, I have got a nice piece of Javascript code that will help you in one click! Continue reading »
