How to disguise yourself as a Google Bot.

Yes, sometimes you want to visit sites, acting like a machine, to confuse people. You can, in fact, disguise yourself as a Google spider or bot. You see, there is something called a Google Web Site Translator. What it does, as you put in a site, select what language to translate it to, and it displays the page in the selected language. For example, the page is in German, so you select, “German to English”, and it will display it in English.

You can use this translator as a proxy. If you’re some idiot who wants to spam a forum or hack a Myspace, you could use that, but I will hate your sorry ass for using my article to do your dirty work, you smart donkey. This Google, “proxy”, may not be as secure as some proxies, but it does confuse people.

Steps:

• Go to the Google Translation Page.
• Go to the “translate a web page” form.
• Select, “Spanish to English”, even if the page is already in English.
• Enter the site link into the form.
• Visit the site you wish to go to.

People who ping your IP address, or look it up, will look similar to this:

It is best, bestest, VERY VERY best, to use Mozilla Firefox for this type of action. Firefox will also allow you to better secure yourself. Get Firefox 2 here. Then, get this add-on for it. It is the Web Developer tool bar. It allows you to have commands over web pages you visit, doing almost anything.

Using the tool bar, turn off JavaScript, to confuse JavaScript detecting. Beat cookie detection by disabling cookies. This should make you quite anonymous. You should be secure enough to confuse forums, bad guys, Anonymous, or whatever you are doing. Roger. Over.

The end. For now…
