On the apparent anonymity of the Internet. We remove the mask

Let's talk about anonymity on the Internet. Initially, creating your site, I even planned a category of articles on it. But, never wrote a single article. Although: "The question, of course, an interesting ...».

I will try to address this issue, both from the technical side and with the user. On the technical side, however, briefly - at the very not much experience in the matter, and it is boring. But by the simple user, try a little to tell, both on circumstantial evidence, to email, nickname and domains to their sites, look for people on the Internet. For complete and absolute work of my methods do not pretend to - I do not kulhatsker, and a simple user. Let's start.

Many beginning Internet users think they are anonymous. And be honest, behave in the network is not quite as behaving in life. And they are deeply wrong in this delusion. Even with the technical side, IP-address of your computer is always transmitted in the network. And the concerned service can "shake" your internet provider, when asked what he belonged to a subscriber at any given time. Even I, who have information about visitors, and aypishniku can roughly see where visitors come from. I do this using WHOIS-service, which many in the Internet. You, even now, you can also find out how you personally see the network (service - My IP Address). Similarly, working system of statistics of external services that I use on the site, and who use all the other webmaster and services in the network.

Of course, you can use a proxy server to change the IP - they can be configured in any browser. However, it turns out, they also pass the source IP-address in one of the parameters. And, if the site hosting the Software is installed, then the original IP can identify. That is, complete anonymity is not provided and the use of proxies as anonymizer. Moreover, they are both free and paid. Accordingly - slow and fast, in terms of speed of data transmission.

Alternatively, there is still socks-protocol, which, in principle, actually changes the IP address of his Socks-server. This method works like a proxy server. Information from the computer goes on the server service, and then, with a changed IP, the network.

This cheerful note, the technical aspects of anonymity in the network I stop to consider. Next, we consider real cases from his experience of finding people online.

Search your contacts with the man on the domain of his site

Need to find a contact with the author of the website may arise from various causes. For example, you want to place his ads or get advice on the issues covered on the site. A contact form on the resource is not available. As for me, so there was no need for such good reasons. I had to contact the author of the site on the deployment of its resources, articles from this blog, without complying with the rules of copyright content. Articles published without any mention of the source and without respect for their structure. And it was published without a simple thematic tex links, which are often very strongly complement the main content of articles. This is done by machine using different software.

I found this site by accident. Naturally, I had this reaction. To find there was just the domain of the site. To find the postal address of the owner of the site I used the Whois-service. Introduced in the search form data on the domain, its name and got the data. They are open, and, as a rule, e-mail address and name of the owner of the domain is present. Other data, up to residential address, as specified during the registration of the domain. But recently, web designer, finally got the opportunity to conceal personal information from public viewing. In general, the issue was settled, and the article removed from his site.

REM: So, you have the opportunity to learn information about me. Mmm, yes ... it is difficult to maintain your site and remain incognito. :)

Find people by e-mail

Life on the Internet without e-mail is not possible. If you are registered address for a single use of fictitious data to a free service, you will find the common man would be unlikely. But when you are actively using this address, then there is another matter.

Banal search using the search engine results for «name@mailserwis.zona», will show any reference to the address on the sites. Namely: your profiles on forums and other services for communicating, domains, sites that are in that mailbox are registered and so on. Thus, it is possible to make contact with the man to know his name and the city where he lives.

Knowing the city and the name, you can download the phone book and try to come with him on bond. Similar case describes one of the authors infoproduktov. Then the buyer does not have an address for sending the product and he had to go for us on the phone. The reaction of people was then, surprised, but there is no hacking techniques are not used.

Even easier with people who have boxes on Mail.Ru. If you have an account there, then going under the authorization of service "My World", just change the address bar of your browser to link your username to the login target mailbox. Will be released something like: «http://my.mail.ru/mail/Login/». Accordingly, you will come into the world of the subscriber created during registration. At least the name and last name will be there, of course, if they are not invented and people used the service open.

Another point, which concerns the people leading your Internet project. At any hosting site is the ability to create a large number of mailboxes that will have an icon after the "@" domain name site. After all, take, for example, the same «@ mail.ru». «Mail.ru» - here a web address. I have this to the fact that the domain name by copying and pasting it into your browser, you can click on «Enter», and go to the website owner's domain. You will be on the main page of a Web resource. If this is not the postal service, of course - then you will come to service.

REM: Oops ... And why it is all about? After all, you can now investigate all the secret and the gray part of my past and present on the Internet. :)))

Find people by nickname (login)

The incident happened when I did not find the man and his site for his email. The case occurred recently, and is connected with my newly open forum (http://vladekas.com/forum/). It registered person and put my claim that I tyryu his ideas. Not knowing a dream, nor spirit, neither he nor his site, had to spend time and find his project. Registration email it was with the domain site, but not the one he had in mind. Had to drive in search of his username, alias domain site. Then these parameters coincide. And you know, strangely enough, I found his profile on one of the free services of online diaries. There were also references to two of his site, one of which has sought a niche site for learning the use of the Internet novices, as well as name and date of birth. True if the past I really do not know. But, it does not matter. The result is a private correspondence with him, I deleted our intercourse with him at the forum on his own request.

The essence of this story is. Many users of the network, and including myself, use their same nicknames (he same login, it is ASA) at different sites (forums, blogs, social networks). It is on these names can also go to the person. Not fact, of course, that another user on the other resource does not use the same nickname.

Perhaps, in this this article I will conclude. Techniques described are simple and obvious. Rather, they are not open to most of you. Not always, they will work. But, the article in general, and does not purport to be complete, and probably ever will be written by another more complete.

REM: And this ... All that I have described, please use to improve your communication network, and not for other purposes, OK.

How to understand the question, or misunderstood the importance of the words

Already several blog readers and mailing drew my attention to the comments and letters, the obvious problem of beginners: "What do you mean this or that term?". And they certainly are right. It is only with time, using the Internet, talking on the forums, almost automatic, but with time comes understanding of the many words that are specific just for the network, and often it is used. What should be done first, or during a meeting with a new niche in the Internet? 

Imagine the situation. You are reading an article explaining that, for example, "How to create a mailbox on Yandex". You read like a big deal. But suddenly you realize that the essence of the article from you slips and understanding of the issue, no!

As it turns out, blame - Misunderstood, somewhere in the beginning of the text word. Well have to go back to the beginning of the text and find it. For the article "How to create a mailbox for ..." these words may well be the word - "Account. If clarification of the term "Account", then, in fact - is the user account in the Internet service, his personal office in any online service. But lack of understanding of this term leads to misunderstanding of the whole procedure of its receipt.

I must admit that at one time this term, like many others are specific to the network, and aroused in me a complete misunderstanding of some aspects. To combat this problem was possible only one way - will explain and understand for themselves the meaning of the term, and only then, go further.

To help us come to search engines, dictionaries and encyclopedias. If you need a will explain the term, simply enter it in the line search engines Yandex and Google. If on the first page issued to browse sites you will not find a notation - it will be at least strange. In this case, add the word phrase: "The meaning of the word" or "what" - likely explanation exists. But as a rule, more recently, by entering onogo words in the search box in the first place you'll see a link to a page in the free online encyclopedia "Wikipedia" (http://wikipedia.org/) with the explanation of the word.

Wiki - a unique creation. In filling encyclopedia participate many thousands of ordinary users intrneta. You can also join the case. Encyclopedia exist in many languages and developed by enthusiasts in many countries (including the Russian, Ukrainian, English languages).

In general, what am I saying this? If you met in the pages of my blog or mailing misunderstood word, then use search and a wiki - it is a very good tools for clarification of terms.

In the case of Wikipedia is you can even just copy the address "http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/" (make the cursor and press the key combination Ctrl + C), insert it into the address bar of the program (place the cursor there and press Ctrl + V), which you surf the Internet, in the end you ascribe misunderstood word with a capital letter (so: "http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Слово"), and click "Enter". You'll be directed to the appropriate page, if the definition is, of course, is already in the encyclopedia.

For its part undertakes to collect a selection of the most popular Internet terms and lay them on the blog.

Zimbra Desktop and Pop Peeper - receiving mail from Yahoo!

Congratulations. The fact that the Bolsheviks have been waiting for happened. The Bolsheviks, in this case, the clients mail service "Yahoo!". And it happened that I finally found something, I hope the two work programs, email clients, to receive mail from this service on the computer. Can I, as they say, and not "discovered America", but called проги: "Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop" and "POP Peeper". And they are both in my work, even though mail to Yahoo and is not used me active.

In my article two years ago "How to solve the problem of receiving mail from Yahoo!?" Already spoken about this service. And, as time showed, people use the service, and the normal solution to work through the browser does not have.

But back to basics. Service "Yahoo!" notable for the fact that access via the email client to the account is worth about 20 euros per year. He often changes the algorithms work, because of what programs work using Ypops, with the previous article, quite a curve. But now more and enter the verification code entered, when sending emails.

The initial search on the internet has given a single hook on the site "Forum Mozilla Russia ". This program was built on the platform Mozilla Prism - desktop mail client with features organizer "Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop". Official site of the program Zimbra.com. The program is available in versions for Windows, Mac and Linux. She works with several services, for example, even with Gmail.

A second hook I had received, after the publication of this article on the blog and mailing list. This happened thanks to one of the readers who unsubscribed in the comments. He proposed the program "Pop Peeper". Like the previous, this program supports multiple mail services. Basically they are all English speaking and are used in the west, namely: Hotmail \ MSN \ LiveMail, Yahoo, GMail, Mail.com, MyWay, Excite, iWon, Lycos.com, RediffMail, Juno and NetZero

We register an account on Russian Yahoo!


Next, consider briefly, getting a box of Yahoo.com and receiving and sending him mail.

If you do not have a mailbox on this service, you will need to register.
To do this go to the main page of the site "Yahoo! In Russian".
There find the icon with a link "Mail" and click on it.
On the next page, click on "Register" button at the bottom right corner of the window. You will find yourself on the page with the registration form.
Enter in the appropriate fields, their data: desired login, password, secret question and two answers, alphanumeric code in the image and click "Create my account.
If everything is OK, then you will find yourself on the page with a message on the registration and your data. Recommend page print on your printer.
Then click "Continue" and you'll be in my mailbox.
Check his work by sending letters to him and getting sent. To do this, you can utilize your other mailboxes.

Sets and adjusts Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop

You can then move on to the issue of receiving mail from Yahu! on your computer. What you must first download "Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop". Weight program approximately 49 MB - quite heavy.

Then do the following:

Runs the file distribution program and wait until unpack the installation program

Setup window appears with a proposal to install a program, click "Next."

In the next window, accept the installation of the agreement and then click "Next."

Select a folder to install the program, or doing nothing, click "Next" and then five as well.

At this stage, the program starts to climb into the network and listen to the computer ports. If your firewall starts to swear, then let all of this program.

If what some of the components of the program was not installed, you will receive. Shut it down and then click "Next." The program will finish the installation.

On the desktop, locate the program icon and run it.

When you first start the program will ask to add a new account.

After clicking on the button with this text, a window appears with a drop-down menu, select the type of account. Select: "Yahoo! Mail.

In the new window fill in the form in which you want to enter: the name of the account (I'll enter email), your name, email address and password to the box and choose a schedule of getting mail from Yahoo!. Click "Confirm and Save '

If all is well, it will display a message box to establish an account.

To get started with pochnoy click the button at the bottom of the "Run Desktop".

This will open the program interface which is already possible to receive mail and send letters.

Specific features work with mail in this program and other email client does not have. The only thing you need to consider the buttons. But, this is easy, because when you hover on each, the text appears with its function. Program content and the mailbox is synchronized immediately by clicking on the button with the arrow pointing down on the top menu.

Created a letter which sent to the addressee, first hits in the outbox. After some time it takes the mail server and send. Delay can be different. I receive and send mnognovenno and wait five minutes. But, most importantly, everything is taken and sent, without a requirement for additional programs.

Sets and adjusts POP Peeper

Another look at the program POP Peeper. You can download it as the official site by clicking the menu button "Download POP Peeper", or take file-sharing service version v.3.5. To install the program on your computer, run the installation file "POPPeeper-Install.exe"

First you get a window installation wizard, there you need to click "Next"

Next, you must agree to the terms of the program by clicking "I Agree"

In the next window you can select the parts you need to install the program. But I have not changed anything and clicked "Next"

You will be prompted to install the program in the folder "Program Files" on the system disk. My location is arranged and I again clicked on the "Next", then "Install"

After that went to installation and finishing window appeared. In it I left galochnu on "Run POP Peeper" and clicked "Finish"

The program has finished installing and display for the language.

We continue to customize the program POP Peeper.

In the new window, you will need to configure your ineternet connection of the options and then click "Next"

Received a proposal from the program to save your data and messages in the folder "Application Data". I, personally, was not against and pressed the button "Next"

Then some will still install. Read and decide whether they need you. Again I have not changed anything and pressed on the "Next"

In the latter configuration window you will be invited to the next step is to run a wizard to create an account. If you want it, do not remove the tick and click "Finish"

Next, create the access necessary to you mailbox.

This starts a wizard to create an account, ochem he'll gladly tell. Click "Next"

If you already have an account in the email clients Outlook Express, Netscape or Eudora, that in the case of Yahoo! it is unlikely they can be imported into the Pop Peeper. Click this button to "Import accounts.

But I clicked on "Create an Account" in the next window, put the address you want me mailbox. Then click "Next." (Here I have left a small incident. I wanted to make two accounts with Yahoo!, But inadvertently typed the address box on Gmail, which, however in the future only played into the hands. This point can be seen in a video.)

The program will determine what type of server to use. You can also, at this stage, choose the name for the account. Type your incoming mail server: POP3 or IMAP. Or, agree with the proposed (recommended) and go to "Next."

In the new form must specify the username and password to the account on the mail service. (Do not forget to switch the keyboard layout to the Latin script.) "Next"

In the next window will show the incoming mail server, protocol and port of your computer to run the program. If you do not need to change anything, then again click on the button to continue.

If your service requires SMTP authentication, then in a new window, this feature can be configured. But, I pressed the "Finish", and then opened, and finally the program.

The program's interface was simple, standard and intuitive. Above the menu to work with the program. Beneath a graphical menu for mailbox. Using the appropriate buttons, you can create new messages and reply to come - a set of common functions. In the working part, in the left column posted accounts, but without the structure of the mailboxes that I did not like. And on the right are the actual letters. To receive letters from the box, right click on the account name and click "Check Mail". The same can be done by clicking on the graphical button at the bottom left column.

To create additional accounts need to click on the top menu on the 'Accounts' tab and choose "Add". You will be back window, where you need to select "Import accounts" or "Create an Account. Here deytvuyte as you need. All described above.

If you no longer find work in browsers

Situation when I stopped working in browsers search through all the search engines, it happened with my friends. The reason why this happened to me and have remained unclear. May have been deleted some system files, but the virus may have tried - when cleaning antivirus something found.

However, the symptoms were such - in the browser Opera when searching with Google's toolbar via toolbar betrayed a blank page in Mozilla and Internet Explorer - that the search results page not found. What has not worked to search for all search engines (Google, Yandex, Rambler, LayvSerch).

I've been thinking that will cure the problem reinstalling OSes. To what do I do not like to do it! But still decided to work first. In addition to cleansing the system from viruses, poustanavlival default settings in the Internet - nothing helped.

Resolved the problem banal reinstalling Internet Explorer itself. The latest version of Internet Explorer available for free download from the official site. During installation disconnected from the Internet, took a check on apdeyte program and reinstalled. It will work!

By the way, about "disconnected from the Internet" - is personal. If you are not licensed windose, and other programs, I advise you to disable autoupdate. Say, and this is often true, if nelitsenzionka refresh may be problems with her work. Suspicion of this kind of problem we had at work when the system has ceased to give access to the network - had to do a complete reinstallation of the system.

I hope you have the above situation with the search does not arise. Well, if you search suddenly stopped working, then one way to solve the problem you already know.

Google Desktop - do a search on your Comp

In this post we will go about finding information in my Comp. Information in text format, of course.

Personally I have - it was a problem. A lot of saved web pages with articles, files in various text formats, pdf-books, e-mail - all that is called: "Download and forget". Find this something useful with search windose - a long time and a chore.

But was advised to take advantage of Google's free programulinoy - "Google Desktop". Indeed - a search engine in your Comp. After installing the program begins indexing the computer, gradually, during the switch. Also, each text file that you open, it indexes on the fly. "

To call the search box, double-click the button "Ctrl". In the search box enter the word or phrase, and immediately see the first ten results. We click on the link and open the file or folder, where it is.

To view all the results click the link at the bottom of the results "See these results on a browser. And then use as a normal search in Google via the default browser.

Of course the program can be configured to search the Internet, to establish a permanent sidebar with the clock, the search bar, news, etc. To do this, click "settings" button on the Quick Search.

To me this prog several times already are helped by the work of - information in the computer with 2003 accumulated, with different people (no longer working), and when something must be found, then the hand to pick the folder was problematic.

In general, I advise, soft helpful.
