A bot is basic a program that crawls your website, that is, it tries to visit every possible page and every single link on the website. Then it stores images of those pages on its server. So basically when you type in a keyword on google.com, what comes up as results are the pages the google bot crawled and if you wish to see the pages in the format google saved them, then you gotta click on the cache option that appears when you hover over the links.

The CMS that i use for my forum is phpBB and it has worked pretty well so far. Now, phpBB has organised all users/visitors of the forums in various user groups by default, and one of the default user groups is “bots”. Currently there are 51 bots registered. Now generally forums have a feature that you can see which users are online. And just a day back when I was signed in I saw the name google[bot] as the online user. The first thing i thought was that a user has registered an account with the username google [bot]. I quickly opened up the members list but was surprised that there was no such user. And then the obvious struck me.!!!
It was THE BOT.

So as habit of taking screenshots of the unusual things i see on the internet, I did not miss out on this one.
Here check it out, the purple color name that appears next to my name in the online users section. That’s pretty much entirely how you feel its presence :D.

Now when I told the same to one of my friends… It was hilarious to learn what they interpreted by my statement “Doooode!, google [bot] visited my forum” What my friend had in my mind was that the cartoon that looked like the logo of android was there on my screen and it was jumping all over the website :D.

Well I know it is a small thing….but somehow this being the first encounter has made this memorable. :)

I wish to first discuss what do i post and where do i post it.
Firstly i started a free 100mb website with the sites.google, it even turns up as the first result on google for keyword adwiteeya as on 29-04-2012. However, i am pretty sure that is going to change. I started this website so that i could post articles…wait no..only tutorials related to hacking. However sites.google.com/site/adwiteeyaagrawal had many problems, it was limited in many ways. So i definitely had to move ahead of the free 100mb.

The next site that i had build was weblare.com, i am a linux hosting reseller so weblare entails only that.

The next place where i started posting about ethical hacking was www.hgunified.com. HGunified.com meant hackers gamers unified, i and my friend mohit bhatia started this website on a 50% share. However we never had extra ordinary number of viewers. Also i started to realize that there are enough text tutorials on the internet so i shall make video tutorials and hence www.youtube.com/hgunified  was born.

We did pretty well there. We are still doing, however a youtube channel is always incomplete without a website hence we would neva shutdown www.hgunified.com, it also has some sentiments attached.

Then now finally i have the adwiteeya.com. Actually i had a deal with myself. The deal was that untill and unless i payback dad for the unlimited reseller i bought i am not going to buy adwiteeya.com….hence the delay.
Now adwiteeya.com has majorly three parts.
adwiteeya.com – The parent site that has the links to my blog, my forum and weblare offcourse. It’ll be like the one professional email id that everyone keeps.

adwiteeya.com/blog – This is the place i would post about hacking, college, my life and general other things that happen.
however this is different from the forum that i will maintain in two ways i am going to post about what i did here but how i did it and the allied discussion would only be there on the forum.
And lastly

adwiteeya.com/board – this is the discussion board the place where i would discuss about information security, linux, hosting, android and stuff that most probably btech wouldnt let me study.

Apart from adwiteeya.com i also have the dino.ascentorz.com this is a personal blog, only my friends here would understand the posts that i make…
So no more confusions now. I know what to post where :P
