Top 10 YouTube Hacks

Top 10 YouTube Hacks

Summer's ending, and with it goes a certain sense of taking it easier, relaxing a bit at the office—you know, caching up on all that YouTube browsing you skip when there's real work to be done. The popular video sharing site is a great resource (and source of entertainment) that gets better with the right add-ons, plug-ins, third-party tools, and clever usage. Let's take a look at the best ways to get better video, download clips, and just find the video you're looking for at YouTube, so you can get more from your guilty pleasure.

10. Paste together YouTube clips, no editor necessary.

Even without iMovie or another paid-for editor, you can use the ridiculously vast realm of YouTube videos to patch together funny/poignant/clever projects. Free tools like Yahoo'sJumpCut can take in the FLV and other format video clips you downloaded using the other tools in this list. Want to patch together your own clip-sing-along in the style of BarackRoll? Creator Hugh Atkin says he used Google's political video search tool to find all the relevant words and copy them. Now it's just a matter of finding the time to pull it off...

9. Sort all your YouTube links in Gmail with Xoopit.

If your inbox is anything like ours, you get a regular stream of YouTube links from friends, relatives, friends-of-friends, friends-of-relatives-of-friends ... and you only occasionally click through. Gmail add-on Xoopit lets you sort and run through all those links, playing them right from within Gmail. It's an easy way to avoid hurting that avid linker's feelings the next time they ask you if you saw that hilarious Amy Winehouse parody.

8. Get baked-in improvements with Better YouTube.

You'll have to excuse the horn-tooting, but we've put together a Firefox extension that combines some of the best JavaScript we've seen for YouTube and makes them all in check-on, check-off usable for any Firefox browser. TheBetter YouTube Firefox extension empowers you to keep videos from auto-playing, put clips in a wide-screen, no-distraction background, and embeds download links on every clip. If you're a serious YouTube user, there is probably something here you'll find useful.

7. Download audio from videos.

There are a lot of great live performances lurking around YouTube, many of which have never seen the light of day in the recorded audio realm. To jump those jams into your playlist, use a web-based converter like VidToMP3, or follow one intrepid LH reader's guide to recording and converting YouTube vids into MP3. It may take a few more steps, but Matt's guide will still work, while many web-based hacks end up on the pile of dead-end links.

6. Get around international video restrictions.

This summer's Olympics has been a good lesson in the necessity of working around networks' and video providers' often ridiculous restrictions based on location and timing. On YouTube, there's often a simple work-around, as explained by the Google Operating System blog. Most YouTube links look like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID

You'll find a string of characters where VIDEOID is. Copy that string, and paste it like so:

http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEOID

You'll get a copy of the video meant for embedding, one that doesn't care as much about where you're watching from.

5. Search YouTube videos on a timeline.

Free video timeline creator TimeTube is one of those tools that you should never head to while on deadline. Those without willpower issues, however, can find fascinating looks at the evolution of trends, organize TV and news clips for a wider view, and even get a little research done on current or net-related topics. It also definitely helps narrow down your searching when the results list is enormously unmanageable.

4. Get videos delivered TiVo-style with Miro.

You could, if you wanted, keep track of all your favorite net-based video shows in a feed reader or just wait to hear about them a week after they're released. Or you could use the free, cross-platform Miro player to turn your computer into a TiVo for net video. As Gina detailed in her look at Miro, the software keeps track of what you've watched, auto-recycles stuff you probably won't get to, and otherwise does a smart job of handling video streams. And if you want to hook Miro up to your real TV, it's got the chops to go full-screen with any format.

3. Turn YouTube searches into vidcast feeds.

YouTube offers up a few RSS feeds of videos—"Recently Featured," "Top Favorites Today," and the like—but not for individual searches, the kind you'd make if you were keeping up with The Guild or keeping on top of the latest Xbox 360 hacks.YouTube Podcaster, a free service from vixy.net (who also provide a nifty converter you'll see below), makes YouTube videos as easy to grab and watch as podcasts. Enter in your search URL, copy the iTunes link, and you'll get an on-demand feed of videos that meet your criteria. You'll want to be specific, but skipping the comments and stream loading time are your rewards.

2. Watch YouTube on TV.

Many web videos are perfect for quick desktop scanning, but YouTube also contains entire series and longer clips—especially those with higher resolutions available—that make for great couch fare. If you've got a classic Xbox or a Windows Media Center hooked up to the tube, you can flip your Xbox into a YouTube-friendly media center, or add YouTube capabilities to that Microsoft-built box with free plug-in Yougle. Now you can force your already-sitting friends to catch up on Chad Vader and all your other I-swear-it's-funny-just-watch memes.

1. Make videos easy to download.

If you want to stash a YouTube clip away for editing or watching without the net, you've definitely got options. Internet Explorer users might appreciate YouTube File Hack, which grabs FLV files for you. The Better YouTube Firefox extension, crafted by our own site editor, adds a simple "Download this video" link to any YouTube page, and the All-In-One Video Bookmarklet is a nice cross-browser conversion tool. If you're away from your own setup, Vixy.net and Viddownloader are your go-to sites for downloading clips. As for watching FLV files, we like and use the cross-platform VLC player.

Rules of Hacking..

Rules of Hacking..

Many of us out there think of ourselves as hackers but what is a REAL hacker....Well for those of you out there that play with college computers and local schools.... you are nothing !!  The making of a real hacker is being able to find a 'virgin' system and breking in and really doing someting to it...Hacking is not a term to be used lightly....Not only that but hacking is also something not to be taking lightly and flagrently....The reason for hacking....Well you don't hack into a computer just to wreck it or to destoy it even though it is phun, the reason to hack into a computer is to learn from it and conquer it... The idea of actually entering a system, without authorization is life line of hacking....those out there who know what hacking is knows what to do and what not to do but what are the basic rules......Well... here's a short more or less complete list of do's and don'ts on hacking:  

I. Do not purposely destroy a system -- What's the use of destorying a    system anyone....after it's destruction a system is no good and can    serve you no real purpose  

II. Do not leave real names or real handles anywhere on a system -- This is     the most important thing to remember....you might want to be recognized     for breaking a system but a signature or trademark can only mean your     apprehension  

III. Do not under no circumstance hack a system directly -- If you really      plan on hacking a system by running a program or script doing it      direct could be dangerous if someone see's you attempting to hack      your call be CAN be traced...The best thing to do in this situation is      to use a PBX or a outdial of some sort  

IV. Do not mess with accounts or defaults -- No matter what kind of urge     you get , by messing with someones account or messing with the system     defaults will let the business notice the intrusion of an outside     presence which more or less means a termination of your access  

V. Do not mess with anything you don't know -- Don't go around the system    trying junk you don't understand cause this can only lead to you messing    up the system or getting caught  

VI. Hack during the out of work hours -- By hacking late at night or early     in the morning to can escape the chances of someone watching you  

VII. Do not post your findings on local boards -- Do not post up new stuff      you find unless you really want swarms of people at it....A very      important thing to control is the urge to brag about systems you find      but this could lead to an abuse of the system which in turn leads to      the system shutdown....Don't get me wrong about not sharing knowledge      but you don't want to send something public unless you have made sure      that you have done all you wanted to do with the system  

That's more or less what you don't what to do....things you might want to do is:  

I. Set up a account for yourself -- By setting up an account for yourself    it will elimanate the chores of finding a backdoor to the system  

II. Leech files -- Another thing that should be done if possible is to     get as many 'interesting' files as you can since they could be useful     in later hacking quests  

III. Fix the security -- If you get a system that has a 'drop' password      you should really try to fix it so there is none to make life easier      for the following hackers who attempt to infiltrate the system  

IV. Keep track of the system -- No matter how dumg the system might be     or how impossible the security is you should always keep track of     all numbers you have  

V. Look for interestin items in the system -- Keep an eye for stuff that    resembles passwords or other numbers since this could lead to new    systems or usable passwords  

That more or less covers that....BUT how do you find 'virgin' systems? Well this is a part of hacking that all hackers most do....scanning...Scanning or wardialing was brought to life by the popular hacker movie 'Wargames' which inspired the war games wardialer....what a wardial or scanner does is it goes thru all the numbers in a specified prefix.....A good wardialer or scanner should be able to go thru numbers and be able to store them in a file which you can go thru later when you're bored....The idea is to find system beloning to companies and business....it's a good idea to find out a prefix to lets say your downtown area...  

Another thing that most companies also have is frequecies hooked up to computers... This is a lot tuffer to scan for since you would nee to set up a HAM radio to go thru frequencies and collect infomation on what frequencies have carriers on the other ends...This is a fairly difficult thing to do but he rewards could be great....the most importan thing to remeber is to scan with the HAM in you car or something.....scanning from a fixed location will only cause police and FBI to show up at your doorsteps..  

When you've located a system don;t get discouraged if you get no response... many system think that if they set it up to connect at wierd parity's or stop bits and baud rate it's all the security so it is very important to find a communication program that will allow to do wierd things such as connecting at 1100 bauds and 1800 bauds....also to be able to set the parity to mark and space...  Well I hope this phile helps you starters...I'm going to crash now I've done my good deed for the day....well keep hacking but remember to hack safe!
