Getting Past Proxie Filters With "Defunct Ip's" In this tutorial I will explain how to change an IP address to a "defucnt IP address." This can be useful for getting past an anoying proxie server that blocks certain websites. All you have to do is use the simple equation. A X 256 ^3 + B X 256 ^2 + C X 256 + D A, B, C, and D are the numbers in an IP address (A.B.C.D). the number you get will (or should) always be ten digits long, no matter what the combination of numbers are used in the IP address. This new number works the exact same as a regular Ip address. Also I used X's instead of astericts(*) for multiplication because they look neater to me. ***Example*** A web proxie is blocking a the IP 63.165.145.164 and you need to access it. You would use the above equation as follows... 63 X 256 ^3 = 1056964608 + 165 X 256 ^2 = 106778048 + 145 X 256 = 1067815168 + 164 = 1067815332 Enter the ten digit number at the end in the address bar and it will give you the same response as if you entered in 63.165.145.164 in the address bar. ************* ***Tip*** The ^'s above the 6 on the keyboard mean to the umph'th power, so you would take the number before it and multiply it by itself umph many times. Meaning that 5^2 would be 25, and 6^3 would be 216. ********* This will work on most business proxies but will not get past Smart Filter and nearly any other types of site blocking programs that do not use proxies. Also if you have a dead IP address then you can also change it to a regular IP address. Here's how... (1) Open up your computers calculator (Start--> Run--> Calc, assuming your running on a M$ Winblows OS). (2) Change the calculator to scientific by clicking on view--> scientific. (3) Now Type in the defunct IP address. (4) Click the hex button right under the edit button. Eight numbers and/or letters (0-9, A-F) will come up. Write those down somewhere and split them into two's. (5) Clear the calculator and type in the first two numbers and/or letters. (6) Now click on the dec button right beside the hex button and you will get the first numbers of you IP address. (7) Repeat this process until you have all four segments of you Ip. ****************************************************************************** *****************gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/11/users/bkjkhker****************** ******************************Copyright(c) 2007******************************* This was made for educational purposes only and I (Jeremy Overman) am not responsable for anything you do with this information.
