HIDE YOUR IP ADDRESS

IP address is same as your postal address in internet.But, while performing these hacking tricks you must be anonymous so that your IP address cannot be detected. Thus, it is necessary to hide IP address to maintain online privacy. Hence, I am writing this article on how to hide your ip address using Hide my ip to inform you the method used to hide IP address. I have also provided link for Hide my IP software download.

Hide my IP is proxy software used to hide IP address while internet browsing. It assigns its own proxy addresses so that you are able to mask or hide IP address.
1. Download Hide my IP software to hide IP address.
2. Unzip the file using Winzix (free download here) to obtain Hide My IP software.
3. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com and check your IP address.(show your ip)
4. Install software Hide my IP on your computer.

SEND ANONYMOUS EMAILS A GREAT TECHNIQUE.

Sometimes it is necessary to send an email anonymously.
There are several web based utilities that allow this, but each one registers the ip info in the headers which allows tracing. They also will not allow you to use a proxy and utilize their service. This is for security reasons.

Address you specify as well as no accurate record of your IP in the headers of the mail that could be traced back to you.
The method that follows supports my definition of anonymous.Amazingly, all you need to accomplish this is telnet and a SMTP server. Allow me to break it down.

My definition of anonymous includes the email addresses appearing as if they have been sent from whatever Telnet is a software application that connects one machine to another, allowing you to log on to that other machine as a user.
If you don't have telnet, you can easily download it for free from the web - do a search on "telnet" or "download telnet” in any search engine.
...and just for the sake of being thorough...
What is SMTP?
SMTP stands for "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol"
Basically just a protocol for sending e-mail.

Where do you get a SMTP server?
Heres a few links, but as always be aware that these sites may not be here forever or their content may change. Searching for "SMTP servers" or "SMTP server list" should produce effective results.

Once you've selected a server, open the command prompt, and type:
telnet xxxxxx.com 25

(Obviously replace the x's with the SMTP server you've selected) now type the following:

HELO targetsmailserver.com
MAIL FROM: whoever@whatever.com
RCPT TO: target@address.com
DATA
from: whoever@whatever.com
to: target@address.com
subject: whatever
received: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
x-header: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The body of the message goes here.

*Note 1: Remember to end with "." on a line by itself as directed.

*Note 2: Adding x-header and received allows you to alter the IP information found in the headers of the mail, making it untracable and totally anonymous**

*Note 3: There are ISPs that have port 25 (SMTP) blocked. Be sure your settings and ISP allow connections to port 25. If all else fails, get the SMTP sever address from your ISP

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARES

Open source software (OSS) began as a marketing campaign for free software.OSS can be defined as computer software for which the human-readable source code is made available under a copyright license (or arrangement such as the public domain) that meets the Open Source Definition. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form. It is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open source software is the most prominent example of open source development and often compared to user generated content.
Open Source Softwares have following main advantages:
#Users should be treated as co-developers
#Early releases
The first version of the software should be released as early as possible so as to increase one’s chances of finding co-developers early.
#Frequent integration
New code should be integrated as often as possible so as to avoid the overhead of fixing a large number of bugs at the end of the project life cycle. Some open source projects have nightly builds where integration is done automatically on a daily basis.
#Several versions
There should be at least two versions of the software. There should be a buggier version with more features and a more stable version with fewer features. The buggy version (also called the development version) is for users who want the immediate use of the latest features, and are willing to accept the risk of using code that is not yet thoroughly tested. The users can then act as co-developers, reporting bugs and providing bug fixes.
#High modularization
The general structure of the software should be modular allowing for parallel development.
#Dynamic decision making structure
There is a need for a decision making structure, whether formal or informal, that makes strategic decisions depending on changing user requirements and other factors. Cf. Extreme programming.
Most well known OSS products include projects such as Linux, Firefox, Apache, the GNU Compiler Collection, and Perl to mention a few.
Linux kernel comes up with many distributions so we can download it through the distribution’s site such as http://www.fedoraproject.org
PHP: PHP hypertext pre-processor can be downloaded from www.php.net/downloads.php
Apache: One of the most famous HTTP server http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Mozilla Firefox, The most commonly used and best Explorer http://www.getfirefox.com
