Fun with Base 10 URLs
 

or...

why should should help ppl in tech.

I was looking up info on how to beat websense for soccerchamp and found out about Base 10 URLs. They are basically URLs reduced to a decimal value, but it's a bit more complicated than that really. Info is here.

Some demo URLs. I swear under threat of ban all of these are tech links and not tricks. Goatse doesn't work with this trick,since the site has a virtual host, so rest easy.It doesn't work in all sites, only sites that resolve to an IP directly and not a vhost. Also, some of you for whatever reason will not get these to work, as I learned in another thread at another forum I did. They work in both browsers for me (IE and Firebird).

Win2k + IE6.0 --> not working
RedHat + Mozilla 1.2.1 --> Yesss....

Pretty cool ;)

I'm running win2k sp4 and IE6 sp1. Go figure.

WinXP + IE6SP1 -> Works
OpenBSD 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 + Links -> Not working

Haven't bothered trying Win2k3 and its custom version of IE6 yet, but I'd be interested in seeing if it works.

win2k service pack 4 IE5 * opera7 works

heh. cool.

WinXP SP1 + Opera 7.21 --> works

:)

winxp sp1 + ie6 -> nope

WinXP SP1 + Firebird 0.7 --> Works fine. Takes a second, but works.

w2k + opera 7.22 -> works great! I bookmarked that last site too!

winxp + ie6 -> no go

that was in 2600 quite a while ago when you could use it to beat firewalls that block sites based on their domain name and ip address...it included a short c program that looked up a name and converted it.

WinXP Corp + Firebird not working, though I seem to have Google doing my resolving for me so that's probably why
