Teen Arrested For Mentioning Drunk Driving On Facebook

By Leave a Comment

In the list of stupid things to do on Facebook, a new chapter was added a couple of days back when a teen from Oregon, USA was arrested for allegedly bragging about his “drunk driving” stint on new year night. The teen had the following message put up in his status:

[quote type=”large” align=”justify”] “Drivin drunk… classsic ;) but to whoever’s vehicle i hit i am sorry. :P.” [/quote]

Stupid Status on Facebook Funny

Among the people who saw the status, two persons contacted the Oregon police department with the information that Jacob Cox-Brown had the mentioned such and such in his status. Police had conformed the reports of two vehicle being hit on 5th Street, Astoria. Based on the information, Police verified damage done to the cars with the accused teenager’s car.

Jacob is charged with two counts of failing to perform the duties of a driver. A drunken driving charge could not be leveled because the Facebook status was not sufficient evidence.

Lesson to learn from the incident, don’t do stupid things on social media or improve your privacy settings (as seen in the pic above, the status was visible to “public”.

Ten things idiots do on Facebook. Are you one of them?

By 18 Comments

I am forced to write this post after seeing so many “idiots” around me on Facebook doing weird things. Like real world, there are few etiquettes which one should follow in the cyber world, but again, like real world, some people just don’t give damn to the manners or they just are not aware that such manners do exist. Believe me there are lots of stupid things people do without even knowing it. In this post I have compiled top 10 things what idiots do on Facebook:

1. Use caps lock all the time:

How many time have you seen a person posting in upper cases? a few time for sure! Using Caps lock is equivalent to shouting but few people around us prefer to “shout”, always. They forget that they can turn that caps lock off or they simply don’t care like these two jerks here:

2. Like your own status, link, photos and whatever:

Seriously, what are you? A self obsessed narcissist? How does it sounds in Facebook ticker: “XYZ likes his/her own status”. Give a chance for others to like your status and links. Don’t be a despo.

3. Auto Update Facebook status from Twitter:

One needs to understand that Facebook and Twitter are two different kinds of Social Networks. On Twitter you keep on sharing stuff every minute, it is acceptable. Facebook is not the same. You don’t go around flooding your friends’ feeds by auto posting all your tweets as your Facebook status.

4. Spread Hoax:

I know Facebook encourages to share. I also know that you are a concerned citizen but it doesn’t mean you will share whatever craps you find might be “helpful” for public. These hoax include Facebook charging money, hidden camera stories and Facebook donation for sharing pictures and other stuff like this. Use your mind and Google (if you have doubts, check on Hoax-Slayer) before doing such idiotic stuff.

If Facebook has to donate money it will simply donate it. It won’t ask and keep an account of that gross looking picture. Grow Up.

5. Add any fake profile in the friend list:

Yes, there is a very beautiful girl in a sexy pose on the display pic and that is the foremost sign that it could be fake. Oh! She has more than 1000 friends. Most certainly fake. But you don’t care about it because you are a one despo looking for single girls all over the Facebook and/or internet. So you add or accept the request and go on commenting on her pics and liking whatever craps that profile (most probably used by an ugly-looking male) posts. Find out more about how to find fake Facebook profile.

6. Play Farmville/Mafia Wars and such other craps:

Fine! You like to play these games but why bother others? Why send them request to save your lost sheep in Farmville? Most of the people don’t give a damn if you were attacked by some goons in Mafia Wars. If you are such a game addict, create a separate Facebook profile just for playing these games and stop bothering other people in your friend-list before they start blocking you.

7. Update each and every activity on Facebook status:

So, you get up and wish Good Morning to everyone. And then you tell them what are you eating in breakfast, what are you watching, what are your day’s plan. Keep updating it hourly basis. More, also tell them how many times you pooped. Describe that in detail too! For God sake, get a life. Updating the status about interesting things, news, events or funny quotes is one thing but it is not your diary where you record each and everything.

8. Share your love, break-ups and fights:

Aww… You are a love bird. You lover her/him so much that you keep on posting love quotes throughout the day.

Oh! you had a fight. Both of you are not on talking term and now updating your Facebook status hitting out at each other directly/indirectly.

Oops.. you broke up. Now the whole world has to suffer from sad heart-broken status update.

Grow up attention seeker.

9. Pay tribute to every celebrity (without thinking of course):

Though you might have never been able to buy an original Apple product but it was your social responsibility to pay homage to Steve Jobs. You updated your status, changed your profile pic to apple or of Jobs. You shared photos praising Job’s vision and achievement.

Now you see other pics complaining that there are millions of children dying of hunger. You share the pic with hungry child on one side and Steve Jobs on the other. How great of you.

Now comes Dennis Ritchie. You might have never used Unix all your life, never programmed in C and before this day you never knew that there exists such a person but paying a tribute is a must for you. Stop being a &%$#@.

10. The rest falls in this category

There are many more crazy stuffs. List is long and increasing. This point is left empty to take care of rest such things. I encourage you to share the 10th point.

How to hack Facebook status in the most easy way

By 3 Comments

Hi folks,

Hacking is always a way to show off your geeky skill. And hacking Facebook and other social media sites are always interesting because of the loopholes in their security features. Since we interact with people on social media sites it gives us access to some of the information which can be used in playing a nice hack-prank against them.

In this tutorial we will see how can we hack Facebook status of a friend (enemy, if you are vengeful :P). The tutorial is based on a Facebook mobile feature where one can use text message to update his/her facebook status. Since Facebook has  a huge number of mobile users there is high possibility that our target person (we will refer the person as victim hereafter) has this feature enabled.

Lets see what do we need in order to hack someone’s  Facebook status:

  1. Access to victim’s phone number.
  2. Victim must have activated text messaging in his mobile settings. (Unfortunately there is no way to find out beforehand whether this feature has been enabled or not)
  3. Access to a website that sends fake sms from any number (We will see it later in the tutorial)
  4. Country specific access code for Facebook mobile (We will see it later in the tutorial)

Step 1:

Assuming that you have victim’s cell phone number and the victims has text messaging activated on his phone, we would proceed to the next step of using  a site that allows to send fake sms from any number. The idea is that we would use this site to send a sms to facebook pretending to be from victim’s number.

There are several websites that can be used for this purpose. I’ll list a couple of those here:

I would suggest to use SMSGlobal which provides 25 free messages for just signing up. All you have to do is to create an account on it. A nice tutorial showing how to use GlobalSMS can be found here.

Step 2:

Now, when we have an account on SMS Global, we need to know the country specific code (its uses will be explained in the next step). Select the code depending upon which country the victim’s cellphone belongs to:

  • United Arab Emitrates: 2474
  • Angola: 42665
  • Argentina: 325
  • Austria: 66468132665
  • Azerbaijan: 3223
  • Bangladesh: 3232
  • Bahrain: 94455
  • Czech Republic: 9996209
  • Algeria: 205
  • Germany: 2665
  • Egypt: 3265
  • Fiji: 3223
  • Guyana: 1559
  • Honduras: 3223
  • Ireland: 51325
  • India: 919232232665
  • Iraq: 1430
  • Italy: 3399932665
  • Jordan: 90906
  • Kenya: 8140
  • Republic of Korea: 2665
  • Kazakhstan: 404
  • Lebanon: 1191
  • Lithuania: 1556
  • Morocco: 600
  • Montenegro: 14777
  • Madagascar: 34665
  • Mauritius: 8466
  • Nigeria: 631
  • Nicaragua: 32740
  • New Zealand: 3223
  • Panama: 4444
  • Poland: 2665
  • Paraguay: 325
  • Qatar: 92255
  • Rwanda: 7777
  • Saudi Arabia: 710700
  • Sudan: 32665
  • Sweden: 3900
  • Slovenia: 3265
  • Thailand: 42665
  • Trinidad and Tobago: 42665
  • South Africa: 13999

If desired country is not listed then the activation code would be: 32665

(To verify whether or not these codes valid, check with )

Step 3:

Now since we have collected our resources, lets move to nail our victim.

  • Login to SMSGlobal
  • Select Send SMS to Number from left sidebar
  • In the Send SMS To field fill the country specific code chosen from Step 2
  • In the Sender ID From field use the victim’s phone number
  • Reply to should be checked on Sender ID
  • In the Message field write a funny (sad, cruel, warning whatever) message. This message will be used as the Facebook status of the victim.
  • If you are successful till here, Your target is down.

How to get the URL or Link of a Facebook post or status

By 8 Comments

Sometimes you may need to provide the URL/link of a Facebook post or status for eg. in case you are trying to win a contest or trying to attract more people to a Facebook post. Though Facebook has recently added a “Share” option for all the Facebook post but it still doesn’t serve the purpose in the case you need the to share the Post in a comment or outside Facebook environment. In this post I’ll show you how to get the URL of a Facebook post.

All you have to do is to go to post and click on the “Date-Time” of the post. Something like this:

Clicking on this “Date-Time” element will take you to the post in a new tab. And from there you can simply copy past the URL of the post. Something like this:

Now you can share the post anywhere with the help of the URL. By the way the same method can be used in Google Plus as well.

Questions and suggestions are welcomed.
