cloakers fear
 

with firefox you can surf as googlebot, and it leaves you wide open. im not going to explian how to do it, but your wide open now.

There are many other tools out there doing exactly that.
nothing new

only morons use user-agent in detecting !

There I have to add that not all cloackers work with filtering agents only so.....

marttali, not true in a sense, as you need user agent detection as google changes its ips regular so if a new ip comes along how can you catch it?, unless you have set up a network just for logging spiders.

trax :bowdown :)

couple of cloaking scripts offer 4 times a day updated ip database, chances of getting caught by google are very slim...

werd.

I have no clue what you people are talking about.

I´m all right anyway but thanks for telling! :glugglug

does anyone know a good database for user agents/ip's
Or a paid service?

My methods are way more primitive than any of this rubbish.

You can change your UserAgent in Mozilla by doing the following:

Type in "about:config" in your address bar, press enter, right click the page you get, "New > String", "general.useragent.override", "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

There, your user agent is now Googlebot.

Personally, I'm surfing with Beermeister 3.0 :glugglug

What exactly is the point of this?

Who cares? User-agent search diggers have been around forever.

javascript is the easiest way, most insecure though

I can explain it to you if I am the next time in Amsterdam.

This is actually a very entertaining thread for experiments. Let's see where it leads :thumbsup
