Changing Your Firefox User Agent To Emulate Googlebot
|

||||||||||
Description: The User-Agent field is used by various websites to identify when web crawlers such as Google's Googlebot and Yahoo!'s Slurp, visits their website. Interestingly, many webmasters naively use this to open up protected pages on their website (otherwise not visible without e.g. logging into the website) to Google, so it may mine and list those pages in its web search. Unfortunately, as the User-Agent can be easily modified, this form of authenticating provides almost no protection against spoofing attacks! In this video we will see how one can trivially change the User-agent string in Firefox and emulate Googlebot or any other web crawler's User-Agent string. The websites used in the below video are listed in the Links section below.For commenting on this video Click Here!Links:<br><br>1. Googlebot User-Agent string<br><br>2. HTTP Header dumper<br><br>
