Rapidshare cheats and hacks

So do you use rapidshare? So do I.
You don't have a premium account? Well, neither do I.
You keep begging for rapidshare premium accounts? Well, I dont.
And you need not either.
Just use these simple tips and tricks, and hacks, and make life easier...

Tricks to download more than your download limit will allow you to:

1. Change your dynamic IP adress:

Well most of our Internet Service Providers(BSNL Dataone, Tata, UWorld, Airtel, etc), provide us with dynamic IP addresses.

RapidShare limits free users, based on their IP address, to certain download limit, and after reaching the limit, RapidShare will block your IP address. To overcome RapidShare download limit, since it’s based on IP address, the techniques to change or mask the IP address will come in useful to hack the RapidShare.

There are several ways to change your IP address (or at least showing different IP address to RapidShare). Whatever ways, you need to clear your web browser’s cookies first.

1. Request new IP address from ISP (for dynamic IP address Internet users only)

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type cmd in the Open box, then click OK.
3. At the command prompt, run the following commands one by one:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit
4. Try to download from RapidShare again.
5. Note: It’s possible to put all the commands above into a batch file and simply run the batch file to complete the IP changing process. To create the batch file, use Edit in command prompt or Notepad, copy and paste the above commands into the editor, and save the file with extension of .bat or .cmd (for Notepad, change the File Type to All File too).


2. Use a proxy server, or a different proxy server

You can get a list of available public proxy server easily by searching “proxy server” in search engine such as Google or Yahoo!. Choose a proxy server and note down its IP address and port number.

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings. Select (check) the option of Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then key in the proxy server IP address and port in respective box. Click OK to continue.

In Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools -> Options -> Connection Settings. Then select (click) Manual proxy configuration and key in proxy server information. Click OK to continue.

Obviously, once you hit the download limit, you will need to change the proxy server again. There are tools that help you to switch the proxy server automatically. In Internet Explorer, try Steganos Internet Anonym 2006 from Steganos or Hide IP from V7soft. In Firefox, use the SwitchProxy extension. Both software allow you to change the proxy server easily, with just few clicks.

Hacking: What does it really mean?

Most of us are really confused about what "hacking" really implies....
Well, the term itself is rather indeterminate in exact meaning, but here's a standard definition:
"Hacking is an act of penetrating computer systems to gain knowledge about the system and how it works."

90% of the hacking is non-malevolent, and just a way to learn more. This is the way to go and possibly the only way to master your craft.


Technically, a hacker is someone who is enthusiastic about computer programming and all things relating to the technical workings of a computer. Under such a definition, I would gladly brand myself a hacker. However, most people understand a hacker to be what is more accurately known as a 'cracker'

Crackers are people who try to gain unauthorized access to computers. This is normally done through the use of a 'backdoor' program installed on your machine. A lot of crackers also try to gain access to resources through the use of password cracking software, which tries billions of passwords to find the correct one for accessing a computer.

So you succesfuly got through the anti-porn software that your dad installed, or did you beat your school computer which prevents social-networking sites(orkut,facebook,etc)? Congrats, you are on your way to become a hacker, though not quite there yet. The most important attributes required here are:
1. The dire hunger to learn more and more, and more all the time.
2. Patience, and hard-work.

What I wanted to convey through this post, is that hacking is not like they show in TV(a 12 yr old kid phreaking into Ambani's account in a couple of minutes), but it sure is fun; so don't misuse what you have, dont be a snob(like me), and keep that curiosity alive.
