How To Break Into (almost) any member's area

[wolvenreign]

Hey folks. I used this to break into "Xtreme Traffic Arbitrage's" member site without paying anything, and I thought I'd share.

1st: Download Google Chrome.

2nd: Go to the website you want to break into.

3rd: After the .com of the website url, type in "membersarea". For example, http://xtremetrafficarbitrage.com/blog/ would be changed into http://xtremetrafficarbitrage.com/membersarea.

4th: Unless the owners of the site are fatally retarded, Chrome will give you a 404. This is the important part, though...Chrome will also give you the ability to search the site for a "members area". Use that option.

5th: Google will give you links into various sections of the member's area. You're done.

Enjoy.

this doesn't work it just says the link appears to be broken. wouldn't it just be easier to search google for free passwords?

Is this the same as putting this query in Google (if so, this would seem easier)?
site:xtremetrafficarbitrage.com "members area"

Sort of, but the order is reversed. This is what you would put in.

members area site:xtremetrafficarbitrage.com

The order doesn't matter (and works for me, gets me to the page indicated). What's important is to use quotation marks around the "members area" piece.
You're welcome, by the way.

I was under the impression that "almost" any member area was protected by a password and username .

OP if you really got into the site why dont you share what you found ? it would be nice for all

 

[wrangler]

Never assume anything Yeah typically they are, or at least should be... but there's plenty of times, like this, where they aren't.

Yeah this only works for website that have been unmodified since 1994 and only use an authentication check on the loginpage. nowadays we have cookies and session systems making it possible to check authentication on EVERY page in the membership section, making this kind of useless.....

1994? I wasn;t even born then... but once again - yes the site can and should be secured. My point is, they very often aren't - people are lazy / stupid. So this is just a way to use Google to get to something easily rather than jumping through the hoops. And the point is, this isn't at all uncommon, having sites not secured, which should be.

Just a note to the OP. If you go posting here of ways to get into members areas that you thoroughly search through the page. Found a link to a pop up page asking for authentication.

I got to the page to download it but then was asked for the e-mail I used when I purchased the software.

This doesn't work. Most sites make use of cookies and registered e-mails to access member's area

I find all kinds of stuff. Most people dont know what they're doing.

By the way, every time I read your posts, it's with that crackled old salt dog's voice, from your avatar.
