GTalk, my fav. messenger :D

Most of us chat a lot everyday, with friends, family members and many other. If I don’t chat for a day with at least not even with one person, I say the day was boring! :P

So here am I with some chat formatting tips & shortcuts that will help you to deal more efficiently with GTalk…

Text Formatting

• Bold Text – Place the text between two asterisks. eg. *This text will be BOLD!*
• Italic Text – Place the text between two underscores. eg. _This text will be ITALIC!_

GTalk Shortcuts

• Esc – Close current chat window
• Alt + Esc – Close all chat windows
• F9 – Open Gmail
• F11 – Call
• F12 – End current Call
• Tab – Switch through the currently open chat windows

Transliteration (Indic Languages)

Google Bots help you to transliterate English to some Indian Languages. Below is a list of bots, add them to your friend list and then send them any message and then they will respond you back with the transliterated message :)

GTalk Startup Parameters

There are some parameters that can be given to GTalk when it starts. It adds some extra functionality to GTalk.

To use the parameters, just edit the Google Talk shortcut on your desktop, and add any of the following parameters after a slash(/) or just run GTalk adding these parameters at the end followed by a slash(/).

• nomutex – Open more than one instance of GTalk at a time
• checkupdate – Check for updates to the current version
• factoryreset – Load default settings
• diag – Run GTalk in Diagnostic Mode
• mailto user@gmail.com – Send an email using GMail

That’s all, I will keep adding new things as I find them :)

If someone has physical access to your computer, he can easily see your passwords using the softwares mentioned below, and there are other ways of password-theft online.

What these softwares basically does is it finds the file in which the passwords are saved, decrypts them and makes them visible to the user. You can carry these softwares in your Flash Drive and use them on your victims.

Some good password viewers:

1. MSPass: Displays saved passwords of Messengers. Works for Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Windows Live/MSN, Skype and many others.

2. IE PassViewer: Displays saved passwords of Internet Explorer.

3. Password Fox: Displays saved passwords of Mozilla Firefox.

This is for preventing users to flood others with BUZZs which would disturb them if they are busy. But there’s an exploit for this feature it allows a user to BUZZ another user without any limitation.

Very useful if someone dosen’t respond to your chats[:P]. I found this exploit when I was chatting with one of my friend, and I had entered a message which I later realized, was a code in Yahoo Messenger.
The Message was: <DING>

Like other codes which poped up smileys, this code(<DING>) was the code for giving BUZZs. And this code can be used to overcome the BUZZ limitation.

You cant send more than one BUZZ in 5-7 seconds using the BUZZ button, but can use this code to give unlimited BUZZs.

Using this exploit, you can fry up the brain of the one who dosen’t reply back to you. Just Copy the code, paste it and enter, then carry on the paste and enter again-and-agian till the user responds to your messages…!

Thats the case with many of us, our friends are invisible and we aren’t able to chat with them. In this post, you’ll be learning to detect the invisibles!

There are two ways of doing it:

1. Yahoo Invisibility Detection sites
2. Using Yahoo’s Resources

1.Yahoo Invisibility Detection Sites:

I’ve found many sites which helps you to see which of your buddies are online Some of these sites are:

• Narubian.com (Provides a software too)
• YDetector.com
• Invisible-Scanner.com
• DetectInvisible.com
• YahooScan.net
• Invisible.ir

These site are very easy to use. Just enter the ID you want to trace and get the results.

2.Yahoo Resources

Here are some bunch of URLs that can be used to detect invisibles, just replace “[username]” with the username you want to detect :

1. http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=0
   (Shows up a yellow smiley if the person is online and gray if the person is offline or invisible)
2. http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=1
   (Shows up a button with “Online Now” or “Not Online”)
3. http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=2
   (Shows an image with “I am Online send me a message” or “Not Online right now”)
4. http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=a&t=0
   (Shows a text with “[username] is ONLINE or NOT ONLINE”
5. http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=a&t=1
   (Shows “00” if person is offline and “01” if he is online)

Don’t forget to replace the text in blue colour in the URL with the YahooID you want to trace!
Example: Take my YahooID “hack_minded” as an example, lets see the first URL: http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=[username]&m=g&t=0
After the replacement it would appear as: http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=hack_minded&m=g&t=0

Good Luck Detecting!

This is what I wanted to do as I’ve got two Google IDs, so I found out the way to run multiple GTalks simultaneously…

How to do it:

1. Create a shortcut to GTalk on your desktop (if you dont have currently).
2. Go to the properties of the shortcut. There in the target, you’ll see something like: “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe”
3. Add /mutex to that target line. Then the line would be : “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex
4. “Apply” it and then click “Ok”.
5. Check out if it works, Enjoy Multi-GTalks!

Don’t forget to leave comments here if this works…[:)]

How this Works:
The mutex is short for mutual exclusion object. A mutex is a program object that allows multiple program threads to share the same resource, but not simultaneously.

So, in the hack above, we used nomutex (no-mutex) so to use the same resources simultaneously…
