[TUT] How to find IP Address and Location of an Orkut Profile User

First Step, Create a Blog. I would use blogger in this example, but you may use any blog which allows embedding HTML and JavaScript Codes. Don't use a popular blog which gets many hits because it would be hard to track the user of the Orkut Profile Create a StatCounter Account and "Add new Project". Setup is very simple you just need your blog address and access rights. Install the StatCounter code in your blog, you have two methods one is in the StatCounter Website and other is manually embedding the code. For both you have to click Install Code after you have successfully added the project. Your Code would look something like this.
You have to install that in your blog as in the illustration below. Now the final step. You just have to compose a convincing enough message for your target to click on (Not very hard eh!). It can be through Scrap or Community whatever way you can get through. If you cannot contact or get the person to click on the link then this method would not work. Once he/she click it, a detailed record would come up in the StatCounter Website.
If the target has been harassing you or doing something illegal, you may contact the police and get more details from the ISP. Now you all know it! :)

  • Some TIPS to avoid Hangs and reduce memory usage
  1. After opening Firefox switch to your scrapbook and wait until all the smileys get loaded properly. Then start your Orkutting.
  2. If your Firefox is running slow due to too many animations then just HIT THE ESC KEY for once. This will make the smileys stop animating. But you can still use those as normal and they will animate after being posted. This actually decreases the load on Firefox.
  3. Avoid opening too many tabs where smileys are being displayed.

[Security][TIP]How to prevent and identify XSS hack attacks on Orkut

Visiting other profiles now became dangerous Identification and prevention method discovered by blakut team
After fixing the XSS hack on the "Orkut Album Comments", Users with programming knowledge have came up with Application XSS hacks. In short, When you will visit an unknown person's profile you may get some unexpected JS alerts like the one given in the image below!
There may be a risk that your cookies may get snatched or you may get redirected to another site or even get logged out from Orkut. ALSO YOU MAY GET REDIRECTED TO A FAKE ORKUT LOGIN PAGE WHERE YOUR PASSWORD MAY GET EXPOSED TO PHISHING. Hence before visiting any profile whether he/she be on your friend list carefully remember these points: 1. These tricks are done through a number of applications. The most dangerous applications are called "Dog of the day", "Cat of the day", "Pet of the day" as they have HTML coding enabled under "edit profile" option. 2. While visiting any profile if you find the above mentioned App then immediately close the page or else you may also Hit the "Stop" button on your browser to make Firefox stop loading the page to avoid those hacks. 3. To identify whether an app has been messed with XSS codes take a look at that app and search for the small box type characters shown in the image
4. If by some how you get the JS scripts popping up on your screen then DO NOT HIT OK BUTTON, BUT HIT THE CLOSE BUTTON on the top right. In this cases force closing the browser is recommended. 5. If you get yourself redirected to a page where you see that you have been logged out then DO NOT LOGIN FROM THAT PAGE. Close your browser, clear your cookies and then login from www.orkut.com 6. If you get yourself redirected to a page where you see that your profile has been deleted then do not panic. Just switch off your browser and start orkut again. Every thing should be fine. 7. Avoid the remember me option from the Login page for some time. 8. Use FireFox Web Browser install the no script addon prevent most of the Hacks. This seems to be the most effective way to stop the Hacks. Note: Orkut has started fixing this Hack. Many application has been tagged with "Warning - Potential Vulnerability in this app". DO NOT CLICK ON THE APPLICATIONS WITH THIS TAG. _____________________ Update[ 18th Jan, 2009]: Orkut still has not fixed this bug entirely. So it will be better if we install Install the AdBlock Plus addon on Firefox and Block the loading of Orkut G-Module. This can be done as follows: 1. Switch to Firefox 2. Install AdBlock Plus Addon. Click on the Add to firefox button there. 3. Restart Firefox. 4. Click on the dropdown arrow key you see on the red coloured ABP icon at upper right corner of your firefox. 5. Click on preference 6. Click on Add Filter 7. Add this code http://*orkut.gmodules.com* and hit enter.
8. Click on OK button 9. You are now safe!!!
Suggested by Navneet Saini ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE ADDRESS BAR BEFORE ENTERING YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD. THE PROPER LOGIN PAGE SHOULD START WITH www.google.com/...
Just remember these tips and every thing will be just fine
Happy Orkutting

[Update] How to Chat directly from Orkut

Orkut now has integrated chat feature.
If you have a gmail account and use that for orkutting then there is no need to login to your gmail account in order to chat with anyone. Features: If you are logged on to orkut and someone tries to chat with you then you will be able to view the chat from inside orkut as shown in the picture.
Also you can edit your status from the small icon lying just beside to your email address on the top right corner of your screen. See the picture for more assistance.
Or, you can just put your status from your Orkut Home-page by selecting the status bar just below your Display Picture.
Here's a video
You cannot start chatting with some one from inside orkut. Orkut will show you this small pop-up screen only when someone tries to ping you in Gmail.

[Tip] Find the Email Address of any Orkut Profile

[ORIGINAL AUTHOR ASHWIN.S]
I found this bug long back. I felt Orkut will fix it soon. It seems Orkut has no plans to fix this bug. So lets make full use of it. With this trick you can find the email ID of any Orkut profile.
Steps...
1) Select the Orkut profile email ID of which you want to know.
2) Send him/her a friend request.
3) Now go to the Friends Section of your profile. In the Friends section of your profile it will show waiting for to approve
4) Now on the right hand side you will find "manage contacts". In that click on "Export Contacts".
5) Enter the captcha
6) Open with Microsoft Excel.
7) Thats it.... Now you know the email ID of the Orkut profile you selected.
Dont forget to remove the profile from Friends if you dont want the person to know. (If the person has activated notification mails he/she will know about the friend request anyhow)
