What is "Skotobaza"? The ways to bypass the lock and analogies

Those who first encountered "Skotobaza" will be unpleasantly surprised or even outraged - such a repulsive name is called a site that stores millions of private users' photos of Vkontakte. What is hidden in this resource and whether it is possible to get access to its base - further.

What is "Skotobaza"

The resource "Skotobase", which collected on its servers about 107 million compromising photos of users, is far from innovative. Already 15 years ago in "LiveJournal" began to publish "for fun" frankly unsuccessful photos posted by users. "Skotobase" was oriented (yes, it was in the past tense - today the site can not be found in the search engine, as it is closed by Rospotrebnadzor) for the content of the social network Vkontakte.

At once it is necessary to note: if you put a photo in the album with the lock "It is visible only to me", such image in "Skotobase" can not appear in any way. But if you sent an image to an interlocutor, to a closed community, to a photo album that is visible only to friends or a limited group of people, then it is possible that it was already in the possession of this dubious resource.

Many, having learned what the "Skotobaza", resorted to this resource, to learn something personal about their friends, enemies, ill-wishers, to check their half. The site, I must say, skillfully cash in on careless users who send too personal photos to anyone who does not need and where not. For a bribe of 490 rubles, you could not only permanently delete your photos from the "Skotobazy" archives, but also get some kind of guarantee that you will no longer light up on this resource.

"Slaughterhouse": analogues

As already mentioned, the site for obvious reasons was closed. "Skotobase" tried to recover, moving to other domains, but in vain - they were also blocked access. "Mirrors" have no resource either.

To some extent, the analogue of the site was a similar resource, "Spilled", but it is also no longer operational. The same fate overtook a smaller copy of Poiskvk. Of course, if you "surf" in "Odnoklassniki", "Vkontakte", "Instagram", "FaceBook", you can find closed groups and communities where users upload personal and unsuccessful photos of their random interlocutors and acquaintances (the same once popular bands "Chicken" and "Roosters" in every city).

Naturally, the resource of scope of "Skotobazy" will not appear instantly - it takes a lot of time, at least, to accumulate such an archive.

Bypass blocking "Skotobazy"

After the access was denied access to the resource, many Lifkhacs of the kind "Skotobase" appeared: the bypass of the lock. "It is believed that it is possible to see the photo database by hiding its IP address, that is, the location of itself and its gadget, since Rospotrebnadzor is authorized to overlap Access to Russians only. You can do this in two simple ways:

1. Through the browser "Opera" , the version is not older than September 2016. This development is good because it has a built-in VPN - a private virtual network, which allows not to advertise the actions of the owner of a PC that wants to get to the site of "Skotobaz". The workaround is as follows: go to "Settings" (this can be done by combining the buttons "CTRL + F12"), find "Security", and in it the "VPN" section. Activate the mode and try to search for a scandalous resource.
2. Through sites-anonymizers . Click, if necessary, "Hide me" and enter: skotobaza.org. The resource should redirect you to the address. There is a shortage, and it's the following: it's not so easy to find a free anonymizer on the Web to get into the archive of the Skotobase site.

Bypassing the lock, in this way, can be quickly carried out using these operations.

How to use "Skotobaza"

Learning about "Skotobase", many will want to check whether they themselves, or their relatives and friends on this resource, have been exposed. It is very simple to do this: enter the necessary user ID "Vkontakte" in the window on the main page. If it is present in this questionable database, the system will redirect you to its photo archive.

If you believe the words of some users, then in 2017 it's already impossible to go to "Skotobase", as its creators have removed the resource, which, apparently, no longer brings them their former profits.

How else can I find a user's photo?

Having learned what "Skotobaza" is, you probably want to use less dubious services for searching for a person and his photo:

1. The Yandex.Lyudi system: enter the name and surname into the search engine.
2. Find Face: Find people by photo - the system recognizes the face on the image and offers profiles of similar people in social networks.
3. Search by the picture in Google (right click on the photo - "Search the picture in Google"): the system will search for a similar image not only in social networks, but all over the web.If the photo is not on the network, then drag its icon In the browser window and start the search.
4. Similarly, you can use "Search by picture" "Yandex": click on the camera icon near the main line.
5. Intellectual search engine "Nigma.Ru", using the results of both "Google" and "Yandex."

What is "Skotobaza" in a nutshell is a scandalous resource that has accumulated a large collection of private users' photos of "VC". If you want to find any person or photo on the Web, it is much more expedient to use the authorized search engines for this.
