Find Who Has Added You To Their Crush list On Orkut

Orkut crush feature is designed to influence likeness between orkut users. if you are having crush on a orkut user, you can add him/her on your crush list. There is no limit on this. You can add as many persons as you want to your crush list. Like wise if other persons are having similar feelings about you, they can add you to their crush list. But remember that this crush system keeps your feelings secret. It does not notify other orkut user about your feelings and vice verse. So, how to know if someone has added you to their crush list?

orkut crush list

Orkut treats this system very seriously and hence there is no way for you to know who had added you to their crush list. There is only one way to know this and that’s then when you both meet mutual crush. This means only and if only you add each other to each others crush list, orkut will send you email about this crush notification.

How To know if someone added you to their crush list:

This is the most simple trick. Follow Orkut’s guidelines to get your work done.

  1. Go to your profile and add all people to your crush list.
  2. Wait for sometime and then check your email (that you use during orkut login).
  3. If any of your friends have added you to their crush list, you will get a email from orkut about crush notification. This email includes person’s name and email.
  4. You are done.

Now since you have added the person who added you to his/her crush list earlier, he/she will also get an email notification about this. But remember to remove everyone from your crush list later, so that no one can play this trick on you.

Orkut stylish fonts can make your profile name and scraps look better. You can make your profile name or scraps stylish with a number of cool fonts available. Earlier we were using different javascripts to do this. Here on DarkOrkut, I even wrote a post on how to make cool stylish fonts on Orkut using javascripts. But later Orkut stopped all scripts from running and now you can hardly expect any javascript code to work some wonders. But here I am going to tell you an another sure shot method to create and generate stylish fonts for your orkut scraps or profile names.

A blogspot site is offering this service to generate cool fonts. Have a look on the below screenshot.

Now you can find and locate any friend’s location on orkut using Google map. Google map, a high end technology, will uses a graphical interface to tell you the exact location of your friends. This feature will show you the location of all your friends at a time.

If you are not familiar with this, then simply log in to your Orkut profile page. You can see a notification there telling you about this new feature.

google maps orkut

If you don’t get to see this notification, you can directly activate this feature by clicking on Google Map on Orkut.

After clicking the above link, you can locate all your friends on Google Map. This will be 100% accurate if your friends have provided their actual information while registering. The location graph will look like this :

find friends location on orkut

Now you can find any orkut friend’s location easily. This is very beneficial for those people who want to start networking or business using orkut. But this is equally dangerous as you are revealing your details to stalkers, strangers and spammers.

How to Send Images in Orkut Testimonials

Orkut testimonial is a great way to post your comments or notes about someone. But since Orkut has applied some strict policies to these testimonials, you can’t use HTML codes, images, BB codes etc. Such limitations restrict people from customizing their testimonials and as a result people end up sending plain text testimonials. But if there is a will, there is a way. Here I’ll tell you the way to send your own images as testimonials to your friends. Only limitation is that those images will be in ASCII mode, still they will look pretty well.

There is a saying, “A picture speaks thousand times louder than words”. You can also convert your friend’s image to ASCII mode and send their pictures to them as testimonials. They will surely get surprised to see these testimonials, if they are not familiar with ASCII codes. Here is the screenshot of one of my ASCII pictures.

Send image testimonials on orkut

Send Images as Testimonials on Orkut

  1. First get the image ready. Remember to use close up and small sized images for better result.
  2. Go to Photo2text and click on browse to select the image from your computer.
  3. Select various editing and customizing options to enrich your image.
  4. Download your image code file on to your computer.
  5. Now copy all the codes from that file and paste in the Orkut testimonial field.
  6. Send the testimonial to your friends.
  7. You are done.

Note that Orkut allows a user to use a maximum of 1024 characters. So, it won’t work for you if you are using a larger image as bigger sized images will use much characters. Choose a small picture, 100*100 pixels would be great and select 01 from the character set.

That’s it. Now enjoy sending your own or friend’s images as Orkut testimonial. You can also send coloured images, I mean there are certain generators to generate coloured ASCII charecters in stead of black & white one, but since they will use much more charecters, mentioning that will be useless here. But I will post about that later for scrap purposes.

Let’s have Some Fun with Orkut Friend’s Profile Photos

Since the launch of Orkut applications, we are noticing some cool applications getting added to Orkut applications list every other day. Most of them are designed to add some extra fun and make your orkutting experience larger than before. One of those applications is Orkut Mosaic Creator. This application creates a mosaic surface using your friend’s display photos. Let’s know more about it.

Access all your friends profile from a single place using Orkut Mosaic Application

Orkut Mosaic Creator places all your friend’s profiles in a single place, forming a mosaic or tiled surface. You can navigate to any of your friend’s profile by simply clicking on their display photo. You can also choose to download all your friend’s display photos using this Orkut application.

Since you have to navigate to pages to view complete list of your Orkut friends, this application will surely help Orkut users to locate their friends in one single page. Install Orkut Mosaic Application on your profile.

Beware! Using Orkut Applications may Get Your Account Hacked!

Nope, this post title does not contain any typo. This is true that there are chances of loosing your account if you use different orkut applications without knowing much about them. Since Orkut allowed third parties to develop Orkut applications, many hackers joined this stream to fulfill their evil wishes. Although Orkut takes much time in checking each and every application manually before approving it, hackers add spywares to some iframes, used in the application. It’s pretty complicated to understand what’s going on in the background process for a normal user. Let me make it simple here so that you can protect your account from hackers.

Very recently one Orkut application developer was caught spreading spywares using his application. While opening his application on Google Chrome, browser stopped proceeding further after noticing the spyware threat. Have a look on this incident’s screenshot. (Screenshot clarity is very poor)

Spyware threats with Orkut applications which might lead to account hacking

Hackers inject malicious iframes to their applications in any given time. They choose random time zones to release spywares. Although Orkut takes maximum security concerns and remove such applications from it’s directory immediately, those applications are having the ability to hijack hundreds of people’s accounts in a short span of time.

Here I would recommended you to use some powerful and strong antivirus systems on your system. You can also consider using Anti-Spywares to catch such spywares and remove them immediately from your system. If you want to know, how can they hack your account, read how hackers hack Orkut accounts.

Although there are a loads of safe and cool orkut applications, you should take the maximum care of your privacy and security. Use latest browsers (I recommended Firefox and Chrome) to get browser alerts on such suspicious attacks. If you have any such bitter experiences, don’t forget to share with us using the below comments section.

Facing Error Problems while Accessing Orkut on Mobile?

As all of us know that Orkut started it’s mobile version m.orkut.com almost a year back. But many people are facing problems and getting error messages while trying to connect m.orkut.com from their mobile phones. The main problem behind this might be your mobile handset compatibility. Yes, if you are planning to access Orkut from mobile, you should get a Orkut compatible handset first. Now see if your mobile service provider is offering WAP or GPRS service on your handset. You need to have GPRS in order to access Orkut. But if the problem still occurs even after having a compatible handset and connection, follow the below steps to access orkut without any error problems.

Access Orkut from Mobile phone Without any Errors or Problems

access orkut on mobile without errors or problemsIf problem continues, you should try to connect to Orkut via any other medium. Like if we can’t use Orkut from our computer, we use orkut proxies, here we can take help of any third party site reader on our mobile. I will guide you with Google reader, that you can use on your mobile handset.

Since you don’t access those sites directly and try to look at those sites in Google’s view, they will be error free without any problems.

Access Orkut Using Proxies In Blocked School Colleges

Many schools, colleges, offices have blocked access to orkut. Without their consent and permission, no one can open orkut there. There is no way to bypass network settings and access Orkut in blocked places. The only solution is to use proxy to access orkut in school, college and working offices etc.

Using a proxy means using someone’s network on your system. The system administrator might have blocked any access to orkut from your internet connection, but then you can go to a proxy website and use their network connection to open Orkut.com. This is pretty simple and there is no way for your network administrator to know about this.

orkut proxy

There are several proxy servers available today. But be careful while using them. Because few times they use softwares to note down the informations provided by you. There is a bright chance that, they will get your account details logged in their database as soon as you type your Orkut login ID and Password. So, use the trusted proxies only.

Below I am providing you a detailed proxy list. use them to bypass your network administrator settings and use Orkut in your school, college, office and prohibited places.

Now enjoy using your favourite social network Orkut, from anywhere!

How Hackers Hack Orkut Profiles or Accounts!



Hackers follow some random hacking tricks to hack anyone’s Orkut profile or account. Since these hacking activities are increasing day by day and a lots of innocent people are getting their accounts hacked, I decided to come up with all the hacking tricks that hackers use to hack Orkut profiles. But from the very beginning, I want to mention one thing, treat this post for informational purposes only. Every hacker needs a security hole to start his hacking procedure, read out those holes and never leave them open again to keep your account secure.

THIS TUTORIAL IS TO LEARN THE HACKING BASICS SO THAT YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR ORKUT ACCOUNT BETTER. I STRONGLY ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO USE THESE INFORMATIONS TO HACK SOMEONE’S ORKUT ACCOUNT. HACKING IS ILLEGAL AND I DON’T ENCOURAGE IT.

Since Google is behind Orkut, hacking anyone’s Orkut profile is not a joke. Orkut respects all it’s user’s privacy and hence it uses multi level login encryption. Normal users feel that we provide our ID & password, hit enter and Orkut gets us signed in. Nope, things are not like that. Orkut uses 3 level security encryption to get a user signed in.

  1. First Level : Security SSL or 128 Bit secured connection
  2. Second Level : Orkut checks if your system is having any active/expired cookie in your system
  3. Third Level : Google applies a secure redirection to the account information provided by you

Orkut does not use any php/aspx/asp coding in Orkut pages, making it almost impossible for hackers to use input validation attack or brute force attack. Now you might be having one question in your mind, if Orkut is so secure, how are the accounts getting hacked? Read further.

How Hackers Hack Orkut Accounts :

If you think hackers are some black, tall persons with a black hat on their head and never come outside in day light, I would request you to refresh your thinking. The simple answer : A persons involved in illegal hacking stuffs is a hacker. It might be you, your friend or even me. Here is a list of hacking techniques used by hackers to hack Orkut accounts.

1. Hacking Orkut Accounts using KeyLoggers

Hackers use keyloggers to steal your Orkut login password and hack accountsIt’s probably the simplest way to hack someone’s Orkut ID even without having much hacking knowledge. Keylogger is a software used to monitor every action on a computer and send the usages data anonymously to a remote server by email.

Suppose you want to hack my Orkut profile. You come to me, use my system and install the keylogger on my computer without my knowledge. Professional hackers can send you a single picture by email, when you download that image on your computer and click on it to view, the keylogger will automatically get installed on your computer in a background process. You won’t even have a 0.01% doubt that something suspicious is going on.

Keyloggers monitor each of your keystrokes. If you type www.orkut.com, it records www.orkut.com in a notepad file. When you enter your username and password on Orkut, it even records them and note them in that notepad file. According to the setting, it will send that notepad file to the hacker by email and you won’t even smell that a email is being sent from your computer without your knowledge. After getting your login informations, hacker changes your password, security question and the answer to it, secondary email address and makes it impossible for you to get back your Orkut account.

Bapun Suggests :

  1. Use up to date antivirus on your system to prevent keylogger attacks.
  2. Check for any Spyware threats on your system here, here, here and here.
  3. Most keyloggers stay hidden. Press Ctrl + Alt + X OR Ctrl + Alt + Windows Key + X to find key loggers.
  4. Download this, this, this or this on your computer and make a whole system scan to locate any spying tools.

2. Hacking Orkut Accounts with Phishing Attacks

Phishing attack is one of the largely used hacking attacks to steal Orkut login informations. Phishing attack is nothing but creating a completely fake Orkut login page and hack user informations. These pages are very much identical with Orkut and a normal user can’t smell any fishy thing in that. Once you provide your login informations there, their PHP script keeps your details and they use those info later to hack your account.

There are several ways of phishing attack. Few of them are :

  • Link Manipulation : Link manipulation is one kind of hacking trick where hackers fool people with identical domain names. By an email or scrap or message, they send you a link. Once you enter your ID and password in those pages, be sure that your profile is gone for ever. That link will be 90% identical with Orkut. Here are few of them.
  • www.okrut.com

    www.orukt.com

    www.community-orkut.com

    www.orkut-login.com

    while the original Orkut domain is www.orkut.com

  • Hidden Links : Few hackers use hidden links to hack Orkut accounts. Hidden links means they manipulate hyperlink texts and take you to an another fake login page. And you can guess what will happen after entering your details in those fake login pages. Here is an example.
  • Clicking on Orkut will take you to www.orkut.com, while clicking on same Orkut can take you to www.Darkorkut.com. Hackers coat the words with a fake login page and send you to hack your account.

Hide Orkut Album Photos from Friends

If you think that you have only two album sharing options – “share photos with friends“, “share with everyone” with your Orkut photo albums, you are wrong. You can move a step ahead to restrict anyone including your friends from viewing your photos. This will act like your private photo storage space on Orkut, lolz. All you have to do is some basic album properties configuration and that’s it. None of your friends or anyone will be able to see photos from your albums.

To hide Orkut photo albums from your friends, follow these below steps.

1. Login to your Orkut profile.

2. From your profile, navigate to Settings >> Privacy >> Scroll down below to find album settings.

3. If you have many photo albums and want to hide few ones only, click on the drop down menu next to Albums and select “Choose per album” option.

4. Now from the below albums list, select one album and click on Edit link associated with that album.

And yes, you will be having access to those photos and can change the settings to allow friends or anyone to view your album photos again by following above steps.

Tricks to Save Locked Orkut Album Photos on Your Computer

Before couple of months, Orkut enhanced it’s security features and locked all user’s album pictures so that no one can save those photos on their computers. Orkut took this step to protect it’s user’s privacy by disabling right mouse click button on Orkut album photos. Your right mouse button won’t work in those pages that we normally use to save photos. But here is the trick to bypass the right click disable protection and save anyone’s locked photo from his Orkut album.

There are many ways to do this trick, may be more than twenty. Yes, I’m not kidding! There are several ways to break Orkut security and save album images. I will update all those tricks in one single post once I get ample time in hand. But for now let’s discuss 2 easy steps to save anyone’s locked photo from his Orkut album. Let’s start one by one.

download and Save locked Orkut album photos

Save Orkut Album Photo by Dragging it to Address Bar

  1. Navigate to the album photo that you want to save.
  2. Left click on the photo and then drag it to the address bar (where you type www.orkut.com)
  3. Once you drop that image there, it will open with a new page with that image.
  4. Right click on that image and save on your computer (yes, right click will work here).
  5. You are done.

Save Photo from Orkut Albums using Keyboard and MS Paint

  1. Open any Orkut album photo on your browser.
  2. Hit Print Screen button on your keyboard to capture your screen
  3. Navigate to Start >> All Programs >> Accessories and open Paint
  4. Press Ctrl+V to get the image on MS paint window
  5. Edit the image to corp it and save on your computer.
  6. You are done.

That’s it. Now you can save anyone’s Orkut album photos, bypassing Orkut security lock feature. But since downloading other people’s photos without their permission is not good, I recommended to treat this post for informational purposes only.

View Someone’s Photos even if She has Locked her Orkut Album

Since Orkut has allowed users to lock their albums so that no one can view their personal photos, many Orkut users started searching Google with keywords like, “how to see locked album photos”, ‘view orkut locked album pics”, “locked orkut album hack”, “see images from locked albums” etc. They also find some results, but none of them are working in reality. Sadly, there is no solution to hack into someone’s orkut album and see locked photos, but there is a trick to view anyone’s photo on Orkut in legal way, does not matter if she has locked her album or not.

How to View Photos from Locked Orkut Albums

Recently Orkut started photo tagging feature. You can tag your friends photos in different pictures. Now if the tagged picture belongs to a person who has not locked his/her album, you can see the tagged person’s photos from his/her album. Let’s make it a bit more simple with an example.

  1. You want to see Kajol’s photos from her album, but she has locked her album. So, you can’t view her pics.
  2. Rani is Kajol’s friend. Rani has got few photographs of Kajol in her album. Technically it does not matter if Rani is having Kajol’s individual or group photos.
  3. Now if few of those Kajol’s picture has been tagged in Rani’s album and Rani’s album is not locked, you can see Kajol’s pictures.

You might think that Rani is having a unlocked album, so anyone can see her photos, including Kajol’s. So, what’s the big deal in the trick. Nope, think again. Rani might be having more than ten of her friend’s photos in her album, how would you recognize who is Kajol from those pics? Photo tagging made it simple, just roll your mouse over those pictures and a link to Kajol’s profile will appear when you take your mouse cursor on kajol’s photo part. Treat the above lines as theory, let’s do practical now. Go to the person’s profile and notice the link “Photos of him” just below his profile name. Check out the below screenshot.

View locked album photos on orkut

That link will display the number of tagged photos that user has got. Click on that link. Now if those tagged photos belong to a unlocked album, you will be able to see his/her photos on Orkut. Presently this is the only trick that you can follow to view someone’s photo even if her album is locked on Orkut.

View Orkut Friends Scraps More Than The Limit

Orkut scraps are displayed in a default manner in scrapbooks. If you are viewing your own scraps in your scrapbook, you can select to view more scraps in the top right of your scrapbook. You can choose any value from 10, 20 or 30. That’s good. But while viewing our friend’s scrapbook, we really miss this feature. We can see at most 10 scraps per page and have to go to the next page in order to check next 10 scraps.

But here is an trick. You can view scraps in your friend’s scrapbook even more than the limit. All you have to do is add a simple piece of code to the end of the URL. This javascripts increase the no of scraps in a single page, so that you can view more scraps without navigating to any other page.

orkut scrapbook trick

Steps To View Orkut Friends Scrap More Than The Limit

  1. Go to your friend’s scrapbook.
  2. Notice the URL in the address bar. You can find a URL like this : http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Scrapbook.aspx?rl=mo&uid=18260962377551096693
  3. The above URL written in red colour will appear in everyone’s scrapbook. But the digits written in pink colour in the above link will be different from person to person. In your friend’s case, it will be an unique one also.
  4. Now just after the above link in your friend’s scrapbook, add the following code to the end of this link.

Hide Orkut Scraps from Friends

Orkut privacy feature allows someone to lock scraps from strangers, but there is no official way to lock and hide scraps from your friends. If you have got something personal in your scrapbook or simply want to hide scraps from your friends, you can now do this by using another Orkut feature. Well, you won’t be able to hide all your scraps or entire scrapbook from your friends, just a limited no of scraps (though there is no specified limit). We will use Orkut spam feature to hide scraps from our friends.

Orkut spam filter is designed to filter all spam looking scraps (scraps with rich text, HTML tag, flash contents, external links, external images etc) and send them to the spam box associated with your profile. This spam box is visible to you only. Now if you intentionally mark a scrap as spam and move it to the spam box, that will get hidden to all of your friends and the scrap will be visible to you only.

Trick to Hide Orkut Scraps from Friends

  1. Navigate to your Orkut scrapbook.
  2. Select the scrap that you want to hide from friends.
  3. Click on report spam button to move that scrap to your spam box.
  4. Now that scrap will be visible to you only and none of your friends can see it.
  5. You are done.


If you want to see that scrap, simply click on spam link. You can find it on the left sidebar of your Orkut profile and it looks like this: orkut spam

I know that it’s not the perfect solution, however, since Orkut is not providing any official solution to this, you can follow this trick to hide Orkut scraps from friends. Do you know that you can also hide Orkut album photos from friends!

Invisible/Blank Profile Name Trick on Orkut

Orkut forces it’s users to fill up their first and last name field compulsorily, so that your name will appear in your profile. By default Orkut settings won’t let you skip this step in any way.

Nothing will appear on your profile name field and you will go kind of invisible on this social network.

Orkut Profile Prank Tricks to Fool your Friends

Orkut, one of the most popular social networks can be used to play pranks and fool your friends. There are some Orkut prank tricks to apply on your profile, so that your friends will get fooled automatically without any practical involvement from your end. One of those tricks is logout trick, whenever your friends will click on a link, they will get logged out of Orkut automatically. Another prank is to show your friends Orkut deleted profile page and let them get worried thinking that their profile has been deleted by Orkut. And one most popular Orkut trick is to have a link on your ‘About Me” page wrapped with words like “My Best friend” or the “Looser on Orkut” and whoever will click on that link, he will get redirected to his own profile, thinking that you have written that link specially for him/her.

I will share all the above mentioned Orkut prank tricks in this post. Remember that none of the above tricks are harmful to either you or your friends account. They are just for fun purposes. But remember that logout trick might not work since Orkut is not allowing to use the logout link few times. But you can always try and check this on your profile.

Play Prank tricks with your friends on orkut

Orkut Automatic Logout Prank Trick

First copy the following piece of code and paste in your ‘About Me’ page or send by scrap.

[link=http://www.orkut.co.in/GLogin.aspx?cmd=logout]Check out my new photos[/link]

Whenever someone will click on that link to check your new photos, he will get logged out from Orkut automatically. You can customize the words according to your preference.

Orkut Best Friend Prank Trick

Copy the following code to paste in your profile’s ‘About Me’ page.

link=http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?2uid=16225293724851058484]My Best friend’s profile[/link]

The above link works like a magic Orkut profile link. Whoever will click on the above link, he will land on his own profile page. So, you can customize the text to whatever you want. The best ones are, “Worst looser I’ve ever seen” or “I hate this person, ewwwww”.

Orkut Deleted Profile Prank Trick

Unlike the above codes, you should scrap this link to your friends. Whenever they will click on this link, they will land on a Orkut page that says, their profile has been deleted for violating Orkut rules. I am sure, they will have a great shock.

[link=http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#homeDeleted.aspx ]Don’t click here![/link]

Wrap the above link with texts like,”Warning! Don’t click here!!” or “Click at your own risk”. Your line should look like a warning message and when they will see that Orkut account deletion page, situation will be more real. But in reality, their account remains safe, nothing happens to their orkut profile.

All above prank tricks are for fun purposes only. They have no threats to your or your friend’s profile. But don’t misuse them in any manner. I have provided them just to have some fun with your friends on Orkut.
