How to view hidden links inside forums

Tutorials & Methods
1

Before we get into the method, these methods may not work for all forums. It will only work with poorly coded forums.

THE ARCHIVE METHOD
All you have to do is insert /archive at the end of the forum name.

eg: blackhatsem.com/archive

If you have to go to a specific thread, figure out a way to find the thread id.
You can find it somewhere in the source code, some sites reveal it in the URL itself.
In the case of blackhatsem, you can hit the thread tools and then select view printable version.

On the next page check the URL. There will some something called tid=xxxxxxxx

That’s the thread id.

So now you have to use the archive and just any random thread and replace the thread id with your preferred post.

eg:https://www.blackhatsem.com/archive/index.php/thread-xxxxxx.html

Replace the Xs with your tid.

So that’s one method…

HIGHLIGHT METHOD

So to do This is Very Simple, When in The Thread Just Add This to The End of URL:

Code:
&highlight=hide

Or, If The Forum Has SEO Friendly URLs Enabled, Then Add This to The End:

Code:
?highlight=hide
So then it will so the [hide] tags in the post and the content in between them.

Just thought I would share this,
Enjoy!

There are other methods too, but… I’m lazy. I’ll just shoot some.

  • Add print thread to the beginning of link or something like that. It works on some forums. I don’t exactly remember the method

  • Use browser addon, eg: Link Grabber. Works 6/10.

  • If you have basic HTML knowledge, hit F12 and go to tab elements and then hit Ctrl+F, type http:// or https:// and pray you’ll find it. This is a good method if you have patience because there are a lot of links in the source code. Use your brain. You’ll get good at this.

File Inclusion attacks are pretty old bruh!! Kindly consider putting it down, but still, people can have their random tries and check the things out!! Anyways, a nice for the beginners

Hey buddy! Please consider being a little kind to other members here. Your “haha” may seem rude to other members. Peace!

I am pissed by the negativity and ‘hahas’, i just tried his first trick and it worked on some 2 forums that have hidden premium content. It’s all about that little effort you make and share information that benefits others. The thread owner just did that! Some people though!!

6

At least he tried to contribute, no matter it’s an old trick and no longer works, but for beginners it’s good, btw, It’s all about learning, something someone knows earlier doesn’t mean everyone has gone through it. So kindly appreciate each other’s effort and encourage them.

Who knows they will drop worth content in the future that everyone seeking to have :+1:

Cheers!

Please, leave it there as it was. no need to panic. all good.

You just made a normal sentence, and they also made the normal sentence, but ‘‘hahaha’’ sounds weird, it can sound offended to a member, everyone has their emotions and no one can judge anything. so better to make clean feedback.

No defending please, Stick to the topic now. no unwanted posts require. :+1:
