How To Hack Orkut ?
Google uses a 4 Level Orkut login which makes it difficult to hack Orkut using brute force attack.
First Level - Security-SSL or 128 bit secured connection
Second Level - Google account checks for cookie in the sytem of user
Third Level - Google provides a redirection to the entered User information
Fourth Level - Google doesn’t use conventional php/aspx/asp coding. So it is impossible to hack Orkut using input validation attack!!!
It is not an easy task to hack Orkut by breaking this security! But still some people manages to get access to other’s Orkut accounts. The question concerned is How they do it? Many of them just use simple tricks that fool users and then they themself leak out their password. Here are some points you need to take care of, to protect your Orkut account being hacked.
"Common Ways to Hack Orkut"
1. Using Keyloggers is one of the Easiest Way to Hack an Orkut (or any other email) password. Keylogger programs can spy on what the user types from the keyboard. If you think that you can just uninstall such programs, you are wrong as they are completely hidden.
A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. Keylogger is the easiest way to hack an Orkut account.
A keylogger program is widely available on the internet. Some of the best ones are listed below
Win-Spy Monitor
Realtime Spy
A detailed information on Keylogger Hack can be found in my post Hacking an Email Account.
2. Phishing Attack is the most popular way of hacking/stealing other’s password. By using fake login pages it is possible to hack Orkut. Here the users land on a page where they are asked for their login information and they enter their Orkut username and password thinking it to be a real page but actually it is other way round. It submits all the entered details to the creator of the fake login page.
3. Orkut New Features: I have come across a page(fake 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 the user submit’s his/her Orkut login information through this page, there goes his ID and password mailed to the coder.
4. 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. This is definitely a trap created by the hacker to hack your Orkut password. Clicking on this link will take you to a fake login page and there you loose up your password.
5. 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. So be careful, javascripts can even be used to hack Orkut!
6. Primary mail address: If by some means a hacker came to know the password of your Yahoo mail or Gmail, 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 is 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. Hence your Orkut account saved.

You do a foolish thing, and next day your account is hacked. This is very sad indeed, but hackers are adding names to their victims list till now.
How can a hacker hack my Orkut account?
The answer to this question is already discussed in my previous post Hacking Orkut.
But this post is meant for providing some safety measures to prevent your Orkut account from being hacked.There is not much you have to take care of. Just follow the simple steps and never get your orkut account hacked in your life.
1. Never try to login/access your Orkut account from sites other than Orkut.com.
2. Never click on any links from the sources you don’t trust while accessing your Orkut account.(or while accessing any other Google services like Gmail,Blogger etc.)
3. Delete any links on your scrapbook, no matter if a known or unknown person have sent it.
4. Never disclose your orkut login details with anyone.
5. Never ever use Javascripts on Orkut, no matter whatever it claims to do.Get satisfied with the services provided by default! Avoid using third party Scripts which might be malicious.
6. Never get excited to see a site claiming to have 1000 cool orkut tricks for which you have to just log in to your orkut account. Don’t trust that site. That’s a phishing site.
7. Never tick the box “REMEMBER ME” on the orkut homepage if you are surfing from a cafe or a public area.
8. Always remember to hit Sign out button, when you are done.
What to do when your Orkut Account is Hacked ?
It can be a nightmare if someone else takes control of your Google Account because all your Google services like Gmail, Orkut, Google Calendar, Blogger, AdSense, Google Docs and even Google Checkout are tied to the same account.
Here are some options suggested by Google Support when your forget the Gmail password or if someone else takes ownership of your Google Account and changes the password:
1. Reset Your Google Account Password:
Type the email address associated with your Google Account or Gmail user name at google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd - you will receive an email at your secondary email address with a link to reset your Google Account Password. This will not work if the other person has changed your secondary email address or if you no longer have access to that address.
2. For Google Accounts Associated with Gmail:
If you have problems while logging into your Gmail account, you can consider contacting Google by filling this form. It however requires you to remember the exact date when you created that Gmail account.
3. For Hijacked Google Accounts Not Linked to Gmail:
If your Google Account doesn’t use a Gmail address, contact Google by filling this form. This approach may help bring back your Google Account if you religiously preserve all your old emails. You will be required to know the exact creation date of your Google Account plus a copy of that original “Google Email Verification” message.It may be slightly tough to get your Google Account back but definitely not impossible if you have the relevant information in your secondary email mailbox.

Uncovering Facts... [Selfwritten]
PLEASE READ THIS POST...
While I was busy spending some time today on Orkut I found some eye opening communities that were spreading all bulshit about India. These were all Pakistan based communities & there could exist a plenty number of many more such craps on Orkut. Though it's not at all a fault of Orkut! But there must be some safety measures in Google to detect such anti-social groups & prevent them from creating such communities. These are only a few links that I found, there could be a lot more too! Now you must be wondering, why have I posted a blog on it?
I only ask you to do a simple thing as an responsible Indian!!
You just visit these communities, see your self how pathetic, anti-social & anti-India they are and just notify Google of this by clicking 'Report Abuse'
for each one of them, or any such community/profile you encounter on Orkut in Future!
Atleast that would prevent these nuisances from Orkut, a largely popular social networking site in India!

An Article From Web-
New Delhi, Jan.7 (ANI): Some Pakistani individuals, who are on the prowl to hack important websites and misuse them by giving it Islamic or Pakistani colour, have targeted Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's famous community group on Orkut, the social networking site.
The community group holds significance for the orkut members, as it is probably the biggest platform for the young fans of former President A.P.J Abdul Kalam. And, the most of the members of this community write in it with deep affection and respect for their ideal in life. There are 207,249 members in this group.
The hackers have renamed the community originally named "Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam" as "Indian" and now using it as a platform for malicious and objectionable content.
The main profile page now reads: "We, the people of India, apologizes to our Pakistani brothers and ISI for barbaric acts of terrorism like Mumbi and Gujrat and many more which were originated and carried out by few citizens of India and supported by government of India. We condemn such acts to fullest."
The new moderators' names are very much visible on the site and show registration from Pakistan.
The incident has outraged fans of former President APJ Abdul Kalam in orkut world. They want the authorities to take all measures to prevent such incidents.
"As a regular member of many communities and the owner of "India" communityn orkut (which is Pakistani hacker's biggest target since its existence and has nearly 8 lakh members), I have faced this menace not for the first time. The unethical hackers groups usually are a bunch of intelligent guys. But they need to spend their time and energy on some constructive work like helping secure our networks rather than involving in hacking online communities," said Vishal Trivedi, owner of the "India" community (796,517 members)
"The hacking of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam community is not only unfortunate but disgusting too, as the hackers group of Pakistan, in reality, have started the whole unethical practice by hacking and defacing many Indian communities like Hinduism, Durga Puja and non-stop abusing in them. This vicious circle has no beginning or end. In order to counter such unethical activity, there is a need to spread awareness among members on social networking communities about security measures to secure their profiles," Vishal added.
"Pakistani hackers have increased their activities just after Mumbai attacks. We noticed the attacks when one of the moderators on VHP community was hacked and 3,000 members were banned. We also saw hacking of APJ Abdul Kalam community. Now they are using that community to further their anti-India propaganda. They want to spread panic. They do not have to worry about anything, as Pakistani government seems to indirectly support them," said Vikas Sankrityayan, owner of "RSS Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh community" (42,011 members).
Recent media reports stated intelligence agencies have warned about anti-India elements in Pakistan planning to attack Indian computer networks. It had warned that Pakistani hackers were trying out a dry run by hacking popular websites. (ANI)

Best email service (web based) - Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail
The top three web based email service providers are Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail and Gmail; and, probably, in that order - refer Gmail usage statistics for details. However, which of these is the best? Does the large user base of Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail make them better than Gmail? Or should the simplistic and quick loading interface of Gmail put it at the top spot? Obviously, such questions are not simple to answer - so how do we decide which is the best email service in the world?
Though there are hundreds (if not thousands) of web based email service providers, I've considered only the three most popular in this article. I suppose bringing others into the fray will just complicate matters. Keeping things simple will at least help arriving at a conclusion.
How to rate a web based email service?
This is the most difficult part. How does one rate a web based email service? Some things can be easily quantified. For example, account storage space or load time are measured in numbers. However, features of the email service like interface intuitiveness, accessibility or the flexibility cannot be judged in a straightforward manner because they will change depending on individual perceptions, location, time of day etc. So can we create a level platform for rating online email services?
The best email service is one that gets the fewest complains from its users. Yes! This can serve as a good yardstick for measuring these services. And the best place to find more on this is Google Trends.
The best email service is one with least problems
It appears that searches for Hotmail and Gmail troubles have been kind of equal. Yahoo! Mail, on the other hand seems to give the least problem to its users.
Does this mean Yahoo! Mail is the best email service? Hmmmm! The charts show the searches based on a couple of sets of keywords and nothing more. Having said that, Yahoo! Mail is the leader of the pack in terms of popularity and usage. In my opinion, a high subscriber base coupled with dependable service (with the least searches for problems) does put Yahoo! Mail a few inches before the other two in the race for the best email service.
My choices
I have been pretty used to Gmail from the very earliest since the Gmail was launched. I was first attaracted to the domain of Gmail at first site! And this love at first site soon became a longlasting relation! I recently used Microsoft's Hotmail & I am greatly impressed & satisfied with thier neat, secure & powerfull email services. I personally don't like Yahoo mail as it has many ads that make it slower & otherwise also overall performance is not much impressive. So apart from the large user base of legacy email provider Yahoo & Hotmail, My rating order will be:
1. Gmail2. Hotmail
.

? Yahoo!

Have you thought about it... [Selfwritten]
“SHOUTING Silence!!”
•If I had voice, I would have shouted my anguish loud.
If I had legs, I would have run away!
Living like a zombie, my soul yearns to breath.
Trapped inside this vicious darkness, I could’nt see a single ray!
•Nobody is solicitous for me, neither anyone cares.
Living in absolute solitude, even my shadow feels so strange.
Inside I cry a lot, but my tears are always ignored.
Engulfed in this monotony of life, I die for a change.
•I am with everyone, but nobody is for me!
I care for everyone, but nobody cares for me!
I am just as good & helpful as I could be,
But never they appreciate my endearment, never they try to see.
•People always hesitate from me, rarely they wish to speak.
Never they speak their heart, never do they try to see.
Even when I am willing to abet as much as I can.
They don’t care for my assistance, and just wish to flee.
•Always this happens, as has been happening.
Even when they are so cold, & are never concerned for me.
I trust everyone, even though the trust for them is so cheap!
I forgive you always, and for your help, always I come to thee.
•Ha! Why I talk my grievance to you?
Why do I speak, I should’nt let my emotions flow,
And should’nt try to seek trust & affection in thee!
As like everyone, you too don’t know me, & again I feel so low!
•Now have some shame & try to recognize me!
Always with you, I am your ‘Ability’ my dear, who cares about you!
You seek rarely, but I am ready to succour you!
So when you are hazy or feel low, just please my dear let me help you!!
- Akshat.

An article on technology's role in our life. [Selfwritten]
“Power no longer flows from the barrel of gun,
Rather it flows from the click of mouse”
The older times when we used to use ink & feather as a writing aid are no longer pursued nowadays. Things have changed, as has the time. Now also writing on my laptop I am greatly thankful of Microsoft and their invention of MS word, through which I am able to write down this worthy piece of article. Times have changed since Mugh le Azm’s era and today we thrive on technology for most of our daily business.
Imagine starting your day without the technology abetting you! You won’t wake up, I bet, with out an alarm clock. Then from having your relish breakfast to rushing up at work on your favorite pair of wheels, technology is what you need most. It’s the age of science & reasoning. And technology has certainly become what is oxygen for living. There are more computers in today’s time than even the people living on earth! Almost every thing you can ponder has a computer’s intrusion. According to an estimate: By 2015 India will, at the rate it's growing, reach around 150 million PCs with about 10 million in households. There was an interesting article in India's Economic Times that confirms what a lot of people know already: Mobile web is fast becoming the primary means of accessing the web for many people, especially in developing nations. India has 9 million internet subscribers against 31 million mobile internet users who use the mobile web. About 54% of new handsets sold in 2006 were internet-enabled according to the same report. The figures come from the Indian regulator, so presumably they are reasonably accurate. The boom in telecommunication industry in the past few years is very well known. And so, even kids of class five are carrying a personal cell phone of their own. Internet, Email, Blogs, Net surfing are like very obvious stuff for today’s kids. People live their lives more on social networking sites than they socially do! Orkut’s the name we are all familiar with? Now what I am emphasizing here is an obvious fact that technology, gadgets & computers have become an integral part of our lives today. Also to match the tempo of today’s age of persistent development, we need to catch up with the rapid growing technological developments. So is quoted-
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic!" - Arthur C. Clarke
Now when we talk of computers, internet obviously pops up in our minds. I guess most of the guys would agree to stay on moon for a tedious time, with only the facility of internet & pizzas with them! Internet is in fact such a powerful tool, that its merits & benefits are innumerable. With the advent of websites like Google and Wikipedia, nothing in this world is hidden from you & almost nothing is undefined! The Internet in India (I-Cube) study jointly undertaken by the Internet And Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IMRB International reveals that Mumbai with 3.24 million ever users and 2.6 million active users, leads the pack of top 8 internet using metros in India. Delhi follows close behind with 2.66 and 1.80 million of ever and active users respectively. Emails have become what letters were in the past. And we all communicate around the world easily, just with a click of mouse! In the field of education & learning internet has become really significant. There are many students from various foreign countries who get the privilege to study online subjects like mathematics & science from very qualified brains from India, just with the aid of internet. Along with getting information on the Internet, you can also shop online. There are many online stores and sites that can be used to look for products as well as buy them using your credit card. You do not need to leave your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home. It would be correct to say that literate in modern times is not just the one who can read & write, but also the person must have some cognizance of computers. If you don’t know computer, then you are as good as an illiterate today! So playing with a mouse is more prominent than playing with a pen! Bill gates once quoted-
"The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it does'nt get bigger or heavier!" – Billgates
Everything comes with a price, & so does the technology. With a varied & numerous boons, technology also has many abuses of it. Apart from many useful things, there are many inhuman, unhealthy & evil things also in the capacious world of internet! Pornography is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet. Spamming: another one of the biggest abuse of web with the aid of emails is affecting users and organizations worldwide. This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system. Hacking is another destructive abuse of internet in the web world. According to a BBC news report of 30th April’2001 a hacker group, of group leader ‘Lion’, based in china initiated a coordinated offensive against computer networks in US. The hacker attacks were intended as retaliation for the death of a Chinese pilot in the recent incident involving an American spyplane. Sites run by the US labour and health departments were broken into and altered. US suffered a huge loss of capital & time. Hacker groups like China’s People Liberation Army (PLA) have targeted many nations like US, UK, Germany, Australia, France and New Zealand. Today terrorists need not be much armed to cause a heavy damage to a nation, because today power of mouse is much more sufficient than the power of nukes or any other weapons.
Apart from having various boons and banes, the most clear and obvious fact is that the power of technology and particularly internet is beyond elucidation. Today we can’t think of living and developing further, without the assistance of technology. Some inhuman people might find ways of abusing technology, but then technology only helps us & acts against them. And thus it is correct to say that “The click of mouse can be more forceful than the boom of explosive!”
