How to Unblock Any Website by using IP Address which is Blocked By School or Colleges

I am providing you with some buttons (proxy buttons) that will take you to google.com and their you can search for any thing that will be unblocked.












If above doesn't work, then try this trick:

  • Press Windows key + R or go to start menu and click on Run.
  • Type cmd and hit Enter to open Command Prompt.
  • Type ping getitmuft.blogspot.com and hit Enter (Replace getitmuft.blogspot.com with the website you want to unblock, e.g. www.facebook.com).
  • It will display an IP Address in [].
  • Open the website by typing this IP in your browser's address bar.





Convert IP Address into Decimal URL:


You can unblock a blocked website using IP address. But some website sites have their IP address blocked too. If this is the case, converting the IP address into its decimal values may help us to gain access to the restricted website. For example, instead of using http:// 74.125.236.160/ (IP address of Google), you can use the decimal format of the IP address HTTP://1249766560.



Decimal IP Conversion

Registry Hack - Get Windows XP Security Updates until 2019 for Free




Microsoft ended its support for Windows XP officially more than a month ago on April 8, 2014. This made a large number of users to switch to the latest version of Windows, but still a wide portion of users are using Microsoft oldest and most widely used operating system, despite not receiving security updates.

While some companies and organizations who were not able to migrate their operating system’s running Windows XP to another operating system before the support phase ended, are still receiving updates by paying Microsoft for the security patches and updates.



Now a relatively simple method has emerged as a trick for the XP users which makes it possible to receive Windows XP security updates for the next five years i.e. until April 2019.

It makes use of updates for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 based on Windows XP Service Pack 3, because the security updates which are being released for POSReady 2009 are inevitably the same updates Microsoft would have rolled out for its Windows XP, if it was still supporting XP Operating System.

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is the operating system installed in "point-of-sale" (POS) systems such as restaurant machine, ticket machines or other customized version of Windows Embedded systems. POS machine most likely uses the XP operating system, therefore receives the same updates that are delivered by Microsoft for the officially unsupported version of Windows XP.

You are not allowed to directly install these Windows updates for your OS. In order to download new security updates for your Windows XP, you just need to perform a simple intervention into the Windows registration database.



Steps to Follow:

  • Open Notepad.
  • Paste Below given code in it:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001

  • Save file as update.reg and run it by double clicks.
  • Once executed, you will find lots of pending updates in your Windows Action Center.

Because the extended support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 systems ends after 5 years, Microsoft will continue to deliver new security updates and patches for this version of its embedded operating system till April 9th, 2019, so users can use this trick to get security updates of Windows XP for another five years.

Important Note for our Readers - Despite receiving security updates for Windows XP by using such tricks, it is not possible to secure the complete system appropriately. So we highly recommend all of you to upgrade your operating system to the latest versions, i.e. Windows 7 or 8 or any Linux Distro.

Old safe mode was enabled by pressing F8 key in windows 7 or Windows XP. But windows 8 and windows 8.1 does not supports it. In windows 8 or + you have to be trick to enable safe mode in Windows 8 or windows 8.1.

On your computer hold the Shift button and mash the F8 key, this will sometimes boot you into the new advanced “recovery mode”, where you can choose to see advanced repair options.

You will need to click on the Troubleshoot option.
Now select Advanced Options.

Now choose the Windows Startup Settings option, by the looks of things we were never meant to find Safe Mode.

How to Bomb Email Account With PHP Script

1. Paste this code in notepad:

<?php
$mail = 1;
do {
mail ("Victim E-Mail", "subject",
"message", "From Email Can Be
Fake");
} while($mail < 50000);
?>


In the above script, replace "Victim
E-Mail" with the email of the person
you intend to wreak havoc on.

Replace "subject" with what you
want the subject of your mail to be.

With "message" replace this with
what you want your email message
to be (the actual content or body of
the email).

With "From Email
Can Be Fake", replace this with a
fictitious email of your choosing


2. Now save this file as index.php

3. Now the third step is to host this site on internet. Now a days there are many free web hosting sites my favorite is hostinger/000webhost

4. Now go to the hosted site Url until all the mails are sent. This hack will send 50000 email to the victims mail which Your script will run as long as it takes for your domain to be closed down.






The script basically runs on a do while loop. So you can send anything up to 50,000 emails to someone. The above information has it uses. I'll let you decide what you want to do
with it. A problem I've noticed inherent in bombing an email account, is that the majority of your emails will be sent into the victims junk box. You may now be thinking well what's the point then?. Trust me though, if you're trying to get a message across to someone, they'll notice the addition of 1000 emails a
day in their junk box. This isn't your ordinary load of junk mails. You can combine the php email bombing script along with other forms of attack too. I once had someone frozen out of all their IM (instant messenger accounts). While they were frozen out of their accounts, I
was repeatedly bombing the persons email accounts. I got my message across.

Hide Data Behind Images

Steganography is the art and science of hiding messages, Images, Data etc. in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the Data- security through obscurity. By using this small and neat trick you can hide whatever data you want behind any image of your choice without reducing its quality, In the following tutorial I will show you how you can hide data behind images without using any exotic software.
(Good old Winrar or Winzip is required)


  •  Create a folder in your C drive and name it as "hide"(Using Root Directory will make this a bit easier). 



  • Now you can put anything and everything you want to hide in this folder. Text files, images, executables (ANYTHING)  .Also, put the image behind which you want to hide the files in the same directory, say "image.jpg". 



  • After putting everything you want to hide in the "hide" folder, Right click on it, and click "Add to Hide.rar" or "Add to archive". Our goal is to create a .rar file of the "Hide" folder. 



  • Now you should see the "hide.rar"created in the same directory along with the folder. 



  • Now we need to open up command prompt and change the working root directory to your current directory and type the following commands.(First change directory then create the output file).(Remember "C" is capital in "C:\") 







  1.    cd C:\ 


     2.     Copy /b image.jpg + hide.rar output.jpg








Here "image.jpg" is the image behind which you want to hide the rar file.
"hide.rar" is the file containing the files to be hidden.
"output.jpg" is the output file that we want. It contains the hidden files, but looks like an image.


After executing the following command, we will see an extra image called "output.jpg" created in the same directory.(Note that it's size is size of image.jpg +size of hide.rar)

Now you can delete all the files except "output.jpg". If you double click the file, it opens a normal image. But you can see the hidden files by opening the file with winrar (Right Click->Open With->Choose WinRar.)

That's It !Now you can send this image to anyone, what others will see is just a regular image but if the recipient knows, s/he will be able to access any secret information privately.This can be used for any type of files like mp3,wmv,txt etc. since anything can be put into a Rar file. Although you may want to keep the files to be hidden as small as possible since it wouldn't be very subtle if you try hiding a 15 Gb setup file for the game,'Crysis 3' behind a 5Kb smiley picture.
