anonyweb.htm: Fravia's web-searching lore (¯`·.¸(¯`·.¸ Anonymous web surfing ¸.·´¯)¸.·´¯)

Anonymous web surfing Pseudo-anonymous surfing for anyone anywhere					Version April 2001
				[Skip intro, go to the anonymous web services!] Maybe a better idea would be to learn how to use a real proxy... anyway if you use SEVERAL of the 'anonymiwing' services below during a single surfing session (that is: avoid limiting yourself to one single anonymous service throughout the session!) you can puff some relatively effective "smoke" in order to cover your tracks. Use cotse for instance, then for the next link the cloack , then for the next one the anonymizer ... your traces will be quite scattered around, you pseudo-anonymous seeker... "I understand that some will use these opportunities for less-than-ideal aims. Not everyone will be attempting to pursue a potentially life-saving search for information on "breast cancer" that has been blocked by some brain-dead content filters. Using these tools properly is your responsibility. The burden is on your shoulders" Head these words by Scott Ananian and ALWAYS remember than in a world of malwares there's no real guarantee of anonimity.. [ Go to the anonymous web services!]

[Anonymizers] ~ [Other fun stuff] ~ [Our "web-based proxy" form]

Anonymous surfing through anonymizers

Anonymous surfing through other services :-)

Don't forget pseudo-anonymity through any valid akamai string like http://a284.g.akamai.net/f/284/987/12h/www.searchlores.org/ (don't forget the last slash) or: http://a1100.g.akamai.net/7/1100/828/00117/www.searchlores.org/ and so on, search on hotbot for akamai :-)

And don't forget pseudo-anonymity through any TRANSLATION service either :-)

For instance Altavista's Babelfish: http://world.altavista.com/ choose a translation from any language that DOES NOT EXIST on your target page and you'll of course keep the existing linguistic version you actually targeted :-)

Another alternative could be Lycos: http://translation.lycos.com/
As I said above...
<political 'uncorrectness' now on>
...always try to choose with such translation proxies 'useless' languages... for instance in the example below I have purposedly chosen french to dutch... a good choice, almost nobody speaks those godforsaken languages any more sauf -maybe- in France, Belgium, and Holland (3 small countries inside the European Union :-)
...therefore chances are that you will keep the original target page in its integrity without any corruption, quod erat demonstrandi: a quick 'translation' anonymizer that works...
<political 'uncorrectnes' now off>
http://translation.lycos.com/?lp=fr_nl&urltext=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.searchlore.org&submit=Translate&partner=demo-Lycos2-en
Also please note the 'akamai' snippet inside some results' strings... 'malware' server responses...

Another good service is the recent 'translation feature' by Google. This feature is currently available for pages published in Italian, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.

The snippet below has been taken by a contribution to the [~S~ Seekers' msgboard] made by DQ in April 2001:

Another "legal" proxy system. Enjoy!
The translating system of google is really wonderful. You can use it as a proxy too. Especially if you're forced to use castrated internet cafes like easyeverything, which deny access to good sites for some strange reasons :-(

All you need to do is to paste this snippet in front of your target page:

http://translate.google.com/translate_c?hl=en&u=

The next link accesses the anonymity page of the php lab:
http://translate.google.com/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://fravia.2113.ch/phplab/anonymity.htm

Wanna see the same page in spanish?
http://translate.google.com/translate_c?hl=es&u=http://fravia.2113.ch/phplab/anonymity.htm

Here is the source html code for a form based web proxy like the one you can find below, so that you can INTEGRATE it to your own pages... AHAHA! Eat dirt, sysads and grepping snoopers of the corporate world! :-)

<html>
<head>
<title>Web based proxy (google's 
translate system)</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#C0C0C0">
<center>
<h1>Web based proxy (google's translate system)</h1>
<form 
action="http://translate.google.com/translate_c">
Choose a 
language
<br>
<select name="hl" size=1>
<option value="en" 
selected>English
<option value="fr">French
<option value="de">German
<option value="it">Italian
<option value="pt">Portuguese
<option 
value="es">Spanish
</select>
<p>
Choose a 
website you want to see translated
<br>
<input type="text" size="60"

<p>
<input 
type=submit value="Fetch page">
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Another good use - Fetching images through google's translating system

Let's say you're within a corporate network and you need to show around that wonderful lady resting on a couch. What can you do? You can prepend the aforementioned url. Try it, it works :-)
If you check the html sources, you will see that only references of the kind <a href="..."> are rewritten, images are still loaded from the original site, through unchanged relative references in <img...> and a new <base...> tag at the beginning of the rewritten page.

Background information about the translate service is on the google site
