Disguise Yourself As Google Bot, get into pay sites 4 free!! Options

dont know if this is an old trick but ive just come across a site

that explains how to disguise yourself as google bot. this allows you to access pay sites 4 free

Ever wondered why a google search returned search results that lead to sites that require a registration ? How the hell did googlebot index the site without a registration ? Many sites want their site indexed in google to recieve more hits and thus, make more money with advertisment on their site. Even more interesting is the following question: How do we use this to our advantage ?

Its fairly easy, we have to disguise ourselfs as the google bot and voila, many sites let us in without registration. The parameter we have to change is called the User Agent. The user agent defines the browser and version that you use. For example it would show Internet Explorer as your browser if you are using this one.


You need to alter your settings to the following:

User Agent: Googlebot/2.1
Compatible: http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html

You can do so in Opera with ease. Firefox offers an extension which is downloadable from the official website.

For Internet Explorer you need to change registry entries.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings5.0User Agent] @="Googlebot/2.1" "Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"

Save this as ua.reg and execute.

To revert the changes back, you need the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings5.0User Agent] @="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

Save as oua.reg and execute.

to set up the plugin, click on add, the name your 'agent" something like

google

in the description text box. For the "User Agent" field, put this:

CODE

Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)

save it, then to acces the plugin, go to tools (next to help on the menu bar in firefox) mouse over Agent Switcher, and select google, surf away. A word of warning, some sites will ban you if they do an IP range check, or a reverse DNS check and your IP doesnt match that of their stored googlebot IP addy or DNS. I used this to browse a few forums that had access set ot members only but did not restrict google from seeing the "goods". Very nice toy to play with.

ok I got the plugin and when I go to user agent switcher I only have internet explorer, netscape, and opera. So I go to options and I add a new user agent and the fields are Description:, User Agent:, App Name:, App version:, and a couple other things....what would I put in? (I'm using mozilla firefox)
