HACKING BASICS SO THAT YOU CAN
PROTECT YOUR ORKUT ACCOUNT
BETTER. I STRONGLY ADVISE
EVERYONE NOT TO USE THESE
INFORMATIONS TO HACK SOMEONE’S ORKUT ACCOUNT. HACKING IS ILLEGAL
AND I DON’T ENCOURAGE IT. Since Google is behind Orkut, hacking
anyone’s Orkut profile is not a joke. Orkut respects all it’s user’s privacy and hence it uses multi level login
encryption. Normal users feel that we
provide our ID & password, hit enter
and Orkut gets us signed in. Nope,
things are not like that. Orkut uses 3
level security encryption to get a user signed in. 1. First Level : Security SSL
or 128 Bit secured connection 2.
Second Level : Orkut checks if your
system is having any active/expired
cookie in your system 3. Third Level :
Google applies a secure redirection to the account information provided by
you 1. Hacking Orkut Accounts using
KeyLoggers Hackers use keyloggers to
steal your Orkut login password and
hack accountsIt’s probably the simplest way to hack someone’s Orkut ID even without having much hacking
knowledge. Keylogger is a software
used to monitor every action on a
computer and send the usages data
anonymously to a remote server by
email. Suppose you want to hack my Orkut profile. You come to me, use my
system and install the keylogger on
my computer without my knowledge.
Professional hackers can send you a
single picture by email, when you
download that image on your computer and click on it to view, the
keylogger will automatically get
installed on your computer in a
background process. You won’t even have a 0.01% doubt that something
suspicious is going on. Keyloggers
monitor each of your keystrokes. If
you type www.orkut.com, it records
www.orkut.com in a notepad file.
When you enter your username and password on Orkut, it even records
them and note them in that notepad
file. According to the setting, it will
send that notepad file to the hacker
by email and you won’t even smell that a email is being sent from your
computer without your knowledge.
After getting your login informations,
hacker changes your password,
security question and the answer to
it, secondary email address and makes it impossible for you to get back your
Orkut account. 2. Hacking Orkut
Accounts with Phishing Attacks
Phishing attack is one of the largely
used hacking attacks to steal Orkut
login informations. Phishing attack is nothing but creating a completely fake
Orkut login page and hack user
informations. These pages are very
much identical with Orkut and a
normal user can’t smell any fishy thing in that. Once you provide your login
informations there, their PHP script
keeps your details and they use those
info later to hack your account. There
are several ways of phishing attack.
Few of them are : * Link Manipulation : Link manipulation is
one kind of hacking trick where
hackers fool people with identical
domain names. By an email or scrap or
message, they send you a link. Once
you enter your ID and password in those pages, be sure that your profile
is gone for ever. That link will be 90%
identical with Orkut. Here are few of
them. www.okrut.com
www.orukt.com www.orkut-login.com
while the original Orkut domain is www.orkut.com 3. Orkut Hacking by
Orkut New Features There are several
third party sites who claim to provide
some cool features on Orkut and ask
you to sign in there with your Orkut
ID and password. Remember, once you sign in with your Orkut details on
a site other than Orkut, you are
exposing your personal details there.
Who knows, if they are going to add
some extra features to your Orkut
profile or they are trying to gather your personal informations. I
personally know few people, who lost
their accounts within few hours of
entering their details on an another
site. Bapun Suggests : 1. Never share
your Orkut login informations on a site other than Orkut. 2. Be aware of sites
like PowerScraps, Way2SMS etc.
(Official Orkut forum suggests not to
use these two sites) 3. If you have
already signed in with those sites,
change your password, security question and it’s answer, secondary mail immediately. Never sign in to
those sites with your new password.
4. Orkut Password Hacking using
JavaScripts Many sites provide
JavaScripts to run on Orkut to do
various things. As far as I know, there are JavaScripts for Orkut scrapbook
flooding, Orkut auto scrap delete,
increase fans, remove friends
automatically, add someone to your
friend list automatically, community
auto topic posting, community poll flooding and so on. But since many
innocent Orkut users are not familiar
with Javascript codes, hackers fool
Orkut users by saying some wonderful
Orkut tricks and then hijacking their
entire profile. A small JavaScript code can not only hack your Orkut profile, it
may lead to hack all your private
informations from your computer.
Lastly, I want to remind you one
thing, use this article for informational
purposes and to protect your Orkut account only. If you face any Orkut
hacking related problems, feel free to

help. If you have any doubt in the
above mentioned points, use the
