Web Directories

10 July, 2009 | admin | Comments

A web directory or link directory is a directory on the World Wide Web. It specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_directory

As the above suggests, a web directory is a directory in which websites are linked in a categorized manner. Before listing, the websites are reviewed manually and are listed in the right categories.

There are various web directories available across the internet these days but not all are as reliable as some of the well known web directories such as DMOZ, Yahoo directory etc. The major essence of a Web Directory is that, they are maintained by a group of reviewers, that it these lists are maintained manually. This is the main reason why seach engines focusses on websites listed on a well known web directory than a website which is not listed. As a result, a web directory is SEO friendly.

Many web directories offer web developers or website owners to submit there website online, after which they review it and approve it accordingly. Most well known web directories ask for a nominal fee for inclusion in the directory. Many web directories may ask you to put a backlink of the directory website anywhere on the website you are submitting for your website to belisted in the web directory. Very few offers free web directory listing submission. Online tools are also available where the website owners are required to submit the website details on their website and these websites in turn submits the details to hundreds of directories…and once again, these websites may charge you according to the submission type you want or may do it for free!!
If you are a website owner, for a start you should try submitting your website to SEO friendly web directory or free web directory which will help you in increasing the visibility of your website to major search engines. Increasing visibility on search engines definitely means an increase in the number of potential customers from your website.

Hacking Websites

Disclaimer: Any damage/damages which may occur or arise using the information or by gaining knowledge through this particular post provided here lies solely on the person performing the act. I’m not responsible for any damage/damages of the same. What is written here, is provided solely on informational purpose.

Even dreamed of Hacking a website? Ever wonder how to get into ones website and deface it?
Well dream it.. there’s no harm in doing that; but don’t practice it (Are you confident enough about hiding your traces behind?).
Words be, lemme tell you a few live hacks done through SQL injections. You can try right now as it works (by the time this post is written) but CONSIDER doing it at your OWN RISK. What i’m telling here is more of a Ethical Hacking; that means, know that it can be done the way I’m explaining here, and find out how to protect from being a victim yourself.
It’s simple. Most people think Hacking is for the master coders only, which rather is wrong. Of course some knowledge are required and depending on the level of security, one can break through any system. HACKING into a system can be minimize but you CAN’T guarantee a 100% secure system.. as there is always a way!!

So now, here are some sites which lack some serious security measures:
Uttar Pradesh technical University website -
http://uptu.ac.in/ (To login, goto login on the top right, go to college login, and then choose VC)

Red Fm 93.5 website –
What the web developer of these sites have done is, they forgot, or don’t know how to use a escape string function (in PHP language). I won’t go into details just for the sake of the laymen. They don’t know or haven’t implemented certain measure to exclude certain characters from being input by the user. When a site asked for a username & password, what happens is that, the code checks the username to the username existing in the database and compare with the password in the same row with the user input password. If both the conditions returns TRUE, then the user is shown the next password protected page.
Look at this: “1′ or ‘1′ = ‘1″. Put the above in the username as well as the password field (without the double quotes). Here we formed an always TRUE condition as 1 always equals to 1. Or you can change it ‘2′ = ‘2′ or anything else. Now press enter and voila, you are at the backend of those sites. You can change anything from the backend.

[This post is about my works]
Current work I’m taking up is developing KanglaPark.com.

KanglaPark

Kanglapark.com is the Manipuri social networking site. An approach to connect the people of Manipur. With the emergence and the unpopularity of sites like manipurfriendfinder.com, there still are works to be done. I hope KanglaPark will get some attention though.

KanglaPark.com is powered by Joomla with Joomunity. Joomunity component is just released as

Beta 2 and there still are some really unwanted bugs and I’m working on correcting the php codes and some errors. As soon as the bugs are free, I’ll be releasing KanglaPark.com as the beta version. Let’s see how far KanglaPark can go.

NERIST

The most recent work I’ve done is developing a website for our college at www.nerist.ac.in. Since I’m not much an expert in the new CSS plateform, the site has some ‘looks’ problem on Firefox and Chrome; although everything is perfect with IE 5 and above. The site has been launched under Phase 1 as still there are a lot of changes to be made. You’ll fing many links still under construction as they are in the process of development. The main server, who originally was hosted my ernet at New Delhi, India was shifted to NERIST E.T. Cell and so, updation can be done in a flash. With usual college stuffs and exams approaching, the next phase is likely to fall next year.

Training and Placement NERISTBefore this, I’ve developed the NERIST training ang Placement Website at www.tnpnerist.com. Searching for cheap domain registrar and hosting service was a challenge. However, I made it at the end and I enjoyed developing the site. Currently, around 140 users registered to the site and it is functioning properly.
Here are a few stuffs I’ve prepared myself: logos, posters and general stuffs I’ve created over time. I’m sharing those which i’ve rendered at Coreldraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, and simple MS Paint!!.

Free domain hosting account

20 October, 2008 | admin | Comments
It’s been some time that i’ve been searching for a free webhost to host some of my sites. This time i need a larger web space and a greater bandwith capacity since i’m planning for a community social networking site (i’ll let you know when i launch the site) and i need the sendmail function to be active there.
I’ve googled a lot of web hosting service providers and i found out that there’s nothing as a free thing. Well i’ve hosted some of my blogs at www.000webhost.com, www.freehostia.com and blah blahs. (000webhost doesnt accept the last 2 or 3 requests i’ve made to open a hosting account. I dunno what’s the problem but in there forum, i read that they don’t allow hosting service to some countries..maybe thatswy. However, a year ago they were accepting signup from India and i’m, right now, hosting one of my blog at 000webhost and and I like there service , but recently they didn’t give any response to my account opening request.
I think that’s really bad of them coz if they don’t provide their service to any group of people, at least they could inform them…coz watever it be, they have still time to send me refferal mails..huh!! And freehostia, their service is great but i need a larger webspace, not just 250mb and sendmail to be active).
The webhost, when searching, have some or the other disadvantages… like if it’s offering large space, sendmail is off, or it has forced banners or textlinks… or if everything is what i want, it is hosted through LayeredPanel, while cPanel is what I want as it gives more control over your account..or a subdomain given by the service provider is attached forever. What i want is to host my own domain and if a sub-domain is attached to it, it’s not good for SEO and besides it degrades the quality of the site.
The next option i tried is – a host for post service; this means you’ve to post a certain number of posts in the service providers’ main forum to pay for your hosting expenses. These option seems to be a really good option as they provide the right thing i want, like large web space (it depends on the number of posts you can make per month); cPanel hosting, sendmail function activation and large bandwidth and so on.
So i’m right now checking out the host for post service at www.novahost.org and www.blazincash.net. And if you know any great free webhost provider, kindly let me know.

e-pao the online platform to Manipur

13 October, 2008 | admin | Comments
http://www.e-pao.net is a great website on the small state of Manipur situated in the north-eastern part of India. The website acts as a portal for all thoses Manipuris staying outside the country as well as quite a large number of internet users from the state who are spreaded across the country.
The website features the current news, happenings and updates in the small state apart from national and international news. If you want to know more about Manipur, e-pao.net is a good start. Through the e-frenz section, you can make friends with lots of users from the state and the chat room is, despite of the usual numbers of persons from the state who are active users of the internet, active throughtout the whole day and you’ll meet someone to talk too… and one more thing to mention, unlike yahoo messenger or others, u won’t meet any bots that imitates human and chat with you!!e-pao
