Browsing teh internet using google+ servers
by kipropest 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

So today HNN had this news http://www.thehackernews.com/2011/08/ddos-attack-using-google-plus-servers.… some bad guys using google plus servers to DDOS sites, which led to this script http://pastebin.com/2uRGm9jY showing two urls that were vulnerable. plus.google.com/_/sharebox/linkpreview/?c= and images2-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url= They work by the way, you can request anything using google bandwith from those urls. So I thought can I use this for good? ;) I surf the internet behind a proxy server and sometimes it block some urls that I want to view. Now, I wont say that all the urls that are blocked are nice sites but.... How can I make my browser fetch content from those URL, I was thinking CGI scripts maybe, I am not sure, Any directions. sad thing is google will probably fix that bug in the hour.

But it's good to realize that Swa is so recognized that it's on Wikipedia as well! http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Luis_Borges I prefer to read the article in English though considering the amount of time in my hands... -- Samuel Waithaka Techiepreneur | http://groups.to/techiepreneur http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka
