Game for public welfare

Game for public welfare

Posted by tech master  |  at  6:59 PM

A thai game developer, is developing a goodness game. That's not what he calls it, but the aim of the game is to be good - according to the tenets of Buddhism. These happen to be : do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol. Now we haven't seen a game where you get points for quaffing on a bottle of jack, but except for that, you pretty much do all the rest of those no-nos in today's games.

Pakorn Tancharoen is a senior officer in Thailand's Religious Affairs Department. He got concerned by modern impact of gaming when he heard about a boy who attacked his mother when she wouldn't pay for an online gaming session.

Tancharoen went to extent of developing this game where you follow three children on a pilgrimage with a wise old monk. You have to deal with obstacles along the way, of course, but you have to be good while doing it. No fragging old monks. No fragging monkeys,either - even shooting animals will cost you points.

People can download the game at www.khondee.net/game.
But remember the game is in thai.

AdLogger - Protect your adsense with this script

AdLogger - Protect your adsense with this script

Posted by tech master  |  at  1:48 PM

AdLogger intends to prevent click-fraud on your websites by tracking visitors clicks and limiting the number of clicks one may make. AdLogger tracks AdSense clicks in real time and compiles the data for you to review.
The script determines if ads should be shown for a visitor depending on their clicking history. If one of your visitors is clicking too many ads, the script will automatically disable ads for that visitor so they won’t be allowed to click any more.
Requirements In order to install AdLogger, your server must meet a couple basic requirements. * PHP * MySQL * GD Library (optional)
Upload
Unzip the AdLogger package and upload it to your website using your favorite FTP program. The “adlogger” folder should reside inside your public_html or http directory such that it is accessible by going to www.domain.tld/adlogger/.
At this point, you can also change the permissions on the configuration files. Your FTP program most likely lets you CHMOD files to different permission levels. The 3 configuration files within the adlogger folder (config_admin.php, config_database.php, & config_settings.php) to writable status (0666).
Database Setup
To install AdLogger, you must have an available database on your server. Your host more than likely has a control panel that makes it easy to administer databases. You will need a database and a database user.
Script Installation
Once the database exists, we can start the AdLogger installation. Visit the adlogger directory by visiting www.YourSite.tld/adlogger. The installation wizard will guide you through the rest, asking just a few basic questions.

Avoid compulsory registeration on many websites

Avoid compulsory registeration on many websites

Posted by tech master  |  at  1:34 PM

Many websites on internet need you to register to acess the information, like many forums force you to register to have acess to their discussion pages. Below are some techniques that i found to bypass compulsory registrations on websites.

Bugmenot- Free login Details to bypass compulsory registration
Bugmenot is a groovy website to find and share logins for websites that force you to register. Just fill in the web adress in the search box and Login details will be provided if available for that particular site.
Also you can download Bugmenot Firefox Extension to bypass compulsory web registration via Firefox’s right-click context menu.

Google Bot
Most of the websites today get maximum number of visitors from google. So all the websites including ones that require registration, would like to see their content indexed by Google. Therefore as soon as they detect the google bot, they allow it to acess pages that are normally restricted to human users, so if a normal human being visits the website using a web browser, he is politely redirected to the “Please register first” webpage.There is a cool Firefox Extension called Firefox User Agent Switcher that lets you switch the user agent so that the reg-only website is fooled to think that you are a web spider.You can download the Firefox user agent switcher extension here . After downloading and installing the extension you have to do the following:-Goto Tools>>Extensions>>Select User Agent SwitcherClick Options button and select User Agents from the Sidebar.Then click Add to add new User Agent.In the description box write “Google Bot” and in the User Agent Box write “Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)” .Done. Enjoy !

You can also change IE's user agent by the method given below:-

Copy the following code into notepad and save it as a .reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Googlebot/2.1"
"Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"

Now double-click the file to merge it into registry. In order to change back to the default user agent use this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

Unfortunately, this only works with IE and not Opera. There is no way to add new user agent in Opera AFAIK.

Now for some practice. One good example is http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/index.php. Anybody who has tried to visit this website will find that it requires you to register in order to view the forum. But registering is tricky. You need to submit your own article to the site afterwhich they will evaluate it and then decide whether to give you membership or not. Now visit this forum after spoofing your IE's user agent, aaha you are welcomed!!!

Note, that this method might not work with all websites.


Google cache
This trick even work on some websites that usually require paid registration in order to access their content. Find the exact page that you want in a list of Google search results. For example, if you know there’s a page on RegisteredAccess.com that has some data about turtles that is only accessible to registered users, you can search on google for “site:RegisteredAccess.com turtles”. Once you find the link to this article, you can simple click on “Cached” to see what version Google has.
