There are service sites that store information about social network users. For example, in Skotobaza (to put it mildly, a strange name for a resource) you can find private photos and see hidden friends. At the time of blocking, the service’s robots had collected more than 107 million user photos. The site is now closed by order of Roskomnadzor, but it is possible to get into its extensive database.

What is the Animal Farm?

Collecting other people's photos posted on social networks in private (hidden) albums is not a new tradition. It all started about 15 years ago, when you could find unsuccessful pictures of social media users on LiveJournal. networks that were posted for fun. When the Animal Farm website was created, many saw an analogy. But over time, the resource began to position itself as a service that stores private photos of users of the VKontakte social network. If the photo is truly private (with a lock), then it cannot be in the database. But many photos are posted for a limited group of users, for example, only for classmates or girlfriends. But, as you know, if two people know about a secret, it is already public information.

What can you find in it?

In the Animal Depot they look for photographs that are not in the public domain. For example, the user could save them in a separate album just for a group of friends. In a word, a service with a strange name will allow you to lift the curtains on the secrets of your friends, interesting people or ill-wishers. Thanks to the Animal Farm, you can learn a little more about these people than they allow. But not all users of the VK social network are in this archive. If the account is new, then it is unlikely that information about the person who created it can be found on the site.

Is it possible to delete a photo from the Animal Farm?

When the service was not yet blocked, you could secure your page. Not for free, of course. By paying about 500 rubles, you could delete photos that ended up in the Animal Depot and be sure that they would not end up there again. Now there is neither a service nor a paid deletion function, but users are still of great interest in the database.

Many people are curious to know how friends, acquaintances, and loved ones live.

Are there any analogues to Skotobaza?

Sites that collect information, sometimes of a confidential nature, about the private lives of users are constantly blocked. After the Animal Farm was banned, a new resource was not created. And it would be strange if such a site appeared as if by magic: a huge amount of content (videos, photographs) is not so easy to save.

Bypassing the blocking of the Animal Farm

You can bypass the blocking of the Animal Farm site. For this, exactly the same methods are suitable as for bypassing the blocking of the Rutreker website - both of these sites are blocked by Roskomnadzor, and it is enough to log in anonymously. And recently a new version of Opera with built-in VPN was released, and there is another way to bypass the blocking. To do this, you just need to enable VPN mode in the Opera settings, and then calmly go to the cattle station. I’ll explain, just in case, how to enable VPN in the new Opera.

How to enable VPN in Opera

First, you must have a new Opera (no older than September 2016) - download if not.

How else can you find a user's photo?

Having found out what a “Skotobaza” is, you will probably want to use less dubious services to find a person and his photo:

1. Yandex.People system: enter your first and last name into the search engine.
2. Find Face service: people are searched by photo - the system recognizes the face in the image and offers profiles of similar people on social networks.
3. Search by image in Google (right-click on the photo - “Search image in Google”): the system will search for a similar image not only in social networks, but throughout the entire Internet. If the photo is not online, drag its icon into the browser window and start searching.
4. You can use Yandex’s “Search by Image” in the same way: click on the camera icon next to the main line.
5. Intelligent search system "Nigma.Ru", using the results of both Google and Yandex.

Consequences of using the service

Sites like Animal Farm were often used to blackmail people whose intimate photos were found there. For scammers, your views on the world or anything else don’t matter. Therefore, do not be so sure that the Animal Farm analogue will not collect your personal information in the background for further blackmail of you. If you decide to use this service, then definitely be prepared for the consequences, because everyone has the right to privacy. Photos that ended up on the Internet due to carelessness or a person’s lack of awareness of their actions should not fall into the wrong hands. After all, it is always better to adhere to the rule “do as you want to be treated.”

What is "Skotobaza" in a nutshell - a scandalous resource that has accumulated a large collection of private photos of VK users. If you want to find a person or photo on the Internet, it is much more advisable to use authorized search engines to do this.

When the social network VKontakte appeared, there was a social boom: everyone wanted to create a page for themselves and add as many friends as possible. In pursuit of popularity, people cheated; some bought ratings for votes or gave themselves gifts from fake pages. The epic of fake popularity lasted long enough. One of the notable aspects of this time was that girls would post their photos in the albums of popular groups to get more likes and friends. Sometimes these photos were partly erotic in nature.

What is "Skotobaza"

After some time, the “Skotobaza” service arose, which collected such photos and stored them in one place on a third-party server. The site was popular, because many guys wanted to know what photos their friends and girlfriends were posting. A little later, the site also learned to collect hidden photos.

This function worked thanks to surveillance of the page: when a person uploaded a photo album, but did not hide it immediately, a few minutes were enough for the photos to be sent to the attackers. Of course, such a site violated the principles of ethics and confidentiality of personal life, so they tried to close it with all their might, which soon happened.

Analogue of "Skotobazy"

Users soon found out whether there was an alternative to the site. After some time, an analogue of the “Skotobaza” site appeared, which was available at spalili.me

The service provided similar services, and could also filter profiles by country and city, find pages of people who are your friends, and create a popularity rating. Also, a distinctive feature of the service was a closed group on VKontakte, where active users of the site collected links to the profiles of girls who were “burnt” the most. Now the address of this site is available for purchase, and a similar domain in the .org zone even belongs to Facebook - this is how the competing social network receives additional traffic.

Where did "Skotobaza" go, and is there an analogue of the site?

If you are not particularly concerned about the moral side of the issue, and you really want to find an analogue of the “Skotobaza” on the Internet, you can try to access the resource poiskvk.org

The site works, but its database is much smaller than previous versions of the service. Also, you probably won't be able to access it using a regular browser, as it is blocked by Internet service providers.

To bypass such blocking, there are special VPN connection services. A VPN allows your computer to connect to web resources not directly, but through an intermediate server that processes traffic. Thus, to your ISP it will look like you are accessing this VPN server, but the ISP will not know that you are looking for an analogue of the Stockyard. To do this, it is necessary to use significant computing power in order to decrypt the traffic, but this is unprofitable and does not make sense for the provider, since it has blocked the required domain, and therefore complies with the rules.

The easiest ways to open blocked sites

On March 13, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation brought together the websites of several online publications and Alexei Navalny's blog, once again making Runet users think that in the near future blocking will become a routine for them.

TJournal tried the most popular means of bypassing blocking and found among them versions “for dummies” - in which everything works right away, without settings.

Turbo modes of browsers and Google Translate

There are widely known methods for opening blocked sites that do not require installing special applications or any settings. Many of them are not as effective as we would like.

For example, using the “turbo mode” in the Opera browser, it was possible to open Alexei Navalny’s blog, which was blocked by LiveJournal, without any problems, but it was not possible to access the site, access to which was limited by the provider.

At the same time, the traffic compression mode in mobile browsers Chrome and Opera showed its best performance. Blocked pages loaded quickly and without any distortion in appearance.

And the option of passing the site through Google Translator turned out to be ineffective. Neither Navalny’s blog nor the Rutor.org tracker opened.

Web services

In terms of convenience, web services that offer opening blocked sites through proxy servers do not differ much from each other. Most often, they only require you to copy the link into a line on your home page and make one click. However, they display the required page with its own header and work very slowly.

One of the best among them is ProxFree. It is easy to use and does not add its own advertising. Analogues include Proxyweb and Hide My Ass.

Smartphone applications

The most obvious and simplest solution for iPhone and iPad users turned out to be the Onion browser, which works through the Tor onion routing system (The Onion Router), the traffic in which is almost impossible to track. The only thing required from the user is $1 for the universal version for all Apple platforms.

In practice, Onion is an outwardly unremarkable browser that allows you to open any blocked sites. It is suitable as a closed tool that does not affect the operation of the rest of the system. For Android there is an analogue called Orweb.

If you want to bypass blocks without using a third-party browser, then you should try TunnelBear. This service is available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac and uses VPN technology.

It is noticeably more difficult to launch it on mobile platforms than Onion. On iOS, it first asks you to register, confirm your email, install a profile with VPN settings, enable its profile in iOS options, and only then start working.

But, unlike Onion, TunnelBear allows you to pretend to be a user from another country and use the services of, say, the Netflix service.

The main disadvantage of TunnelBear is the price. In the free version of the application, only 500 megabytes of traffic per month are available, and annual unlimited traffic will cost 979 rubles (and this is only the price for iOS devices). You can't call him friendly at all. On the other hand, it has versions for iOS, Android, PC and Mac: the last two are very easy to use.

Browser plugins

The most convenient and effective tool in this area turned out to be a plugin for Mozilla and Chrome called friGate. The authors of the extension specifically note that there is no loss of speed when using it. It really works “out of the box” and opens pages blocked by any known method, notifying the user of entering “forbidden territory” with just a change in the icon on the control panel.

The speed of friGate is ensured by the fact that it opens blocked sites from its own pre-compiled list. However, this is unlikely to become a problem for anyone: it is replenished as quickly as possible.

An offer from competitors called hola! proved to be noticeably worse. Firstly, you need to manually select the VPN of the desired country. Secondly, the plugin often turns the layout of blocked pages into a mess and looks untidy in itself. However, as the creators note, it is largely intended for viewing media content: to speed up the loading of streaming video, it uses the computers of other users with the plugin installed.

Iron

A “hard” way to bypass blocking is the Onion Pi portable proxy server, made on the basis of a Raspberry Pi computer. It passes all user traffic through the Tor system and distributes Wi-Fi. The device will cost about $100, but it is not so easy to find in Russia. You can also buy it for bitcoins.

What is "Skotobaza"? Ways to bypass blocking and analogues

Those who first encountered the "Skotobaza" will be unpleasantly surprised or even outraged - this is the repulsive name given to the site that stores millions of private photos of VKontakte users. What this resource hides within itself and whether it is possible to obtain access to its base - further.

What is "Skotobaza"

The "Skotobaza" resource, which has collected about 107 million incriminating photos of users on its servers, is far from innovative. Even 15 years ago, LiveJournal began publishing “for fun” frankly unsuccessful photos posted by users. "Skotobaza" was guided (yes, precisely in the past tense - today the site cannot be found in a search engine, since it is closed by Rospotrebnadzor) on the content of the social network "Vkontakte".

It should be noted right away: if you have posted a photo in an album with a lock “Visible only to me”, such an image cannot appear in the “Animal Depot”. But if you sent the image to your interlocutor, to a closed community, to a photo album visible only to friends or a limited group of people, then it is possible that it was already in the domain of this dubious resource.

Many, having learned what “Skotobaza” is, resorted to this resource to find out something personal about their friends, enemies, ill-wishers, and to check on their soul mate. The site, it must be said, skillfully profited from careless users who sent too personal photos to whomever they didn’t need and where they didn’t need it. For a bribe of 490 rubles, you could not only permanently remove your photos from the Animal Farm archives, but also get some kind of guarantee that you would no longer appear on this resource.

"Skotobaza": analogues

As already mentioned, the site was closed for obvious reasons. "Skotobaza" tried to recover by moving to other domains, but in vain - access to them was also blocked. The resource does not have a “mirror” either.

To some extent, the analogue of the site was a similar resource “Burn”, but it is also no longer operational. The same fate befell the smaller copy of Poiskvk. Of course, if you “surf” on Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte, Instagram, Facebook, you can find closed groups and communities where users post personal and unfortunate photos of their random interlocutors and acquaintances (the same once popular groups "Hens" and "Roosters" in every city).

Naturally, a resource of the scope of the Animal Farm will not appear instantly - it will take a lot of time, at least to accumulate such an archive.

Bypassing the "Skotobaza" blocking

After access to the resource was blocked, many lifehacks like "Skotobaza" appeared on the network: bypassing the blocking." It is believed that it is possible to see the photo database by hiding your IP address, that is, the location of yourself and your gadget, since Rospotrebnadzor is authorized to block access only to Russians.This can be done in two simple ways:

1. Through the Opera browser, versions no older than September 2016. This development is good because it has a built-in VPN - a private virtual network that allows you to not advertise the actions of the PC owner trying to get to the Livestock Depot website. The bypass is done like this: go to “Settings” (this can be done by pressing the “CTRL+F12” buttons), find “Security”, and in it the “VPN” section. Activate the mode and try to search for the scandalous resource.
2. Through anonymizer sites. Click, if necessary, “Hide me” and enter: skotobaza.org. The resource should redirect you to the address. There is a drawback, and it is the following: it is not so easy to find a free anonymizer on the Internet in order to get into the archive of the Livestock Depot site.

Bypassing the blocking in this way can be quickly done using these operations.

How to use "Skotobaza"

Having learned about "Skotobaza", many will want to check whether they themselves or their relatives and friends have appeared on this resource. This is very simple to do: enter the desired VKontakte user ID in the window on the main page.

Skotobaza: what is it, analogues and bypassing the blocking

If he is present in this dubious database, the system will redirect you to his photo archive.

If you believe the words of some users, then in 2017 it became impossible to go to the “Skotobaza”, since its creators deleted the resource, which, apparently, no longer brings them the same profit.

How else can you find a user's photo?

Having found out what a “Skotobaza” is, you will probably want to use less dubious services to find a person and his photo:

1. Yandex.People system: enter your first and last name into the search engine.
2. Find Face service: people are searched by photo - the system recognizes the face in the image and offers profiles of similar people on social networks.

4. Similarly, you can use Yandex’s “Search by Image”: click on the camera icon next to the main line.
5. Intelligent search system "Nigma.Ru", using the results of both Google and Yandex.

And it would be strange if such a site appeared as if by magic: a huge amount of content (videos, photographs) is not so easy to save.

Bypassing the blocking of the Animal Farm

To bypass the blocking of a resource, not just the Animal Farm, you just need to log in under a different IP address, that is, hide your real location. This can be done in different ways. There are several options that allow you to access pages of web resources anonymously. For example, there are special browser plugins that hide real IP addresses. This is the simplest solution, and we wrote about it in a separate article.

Now we will look at another simple option that has appeared recently. The developers of the new version of Opera have built a VPN (virtual private network) into the browser - a technology that allows you not to advertise your actions, and therefore bypass all kinds of blocking. And all you need to do for your anonymity is to enable the function in your browser and go to the blocked site. So here's how to do it.

How to enable VPN in Opera

Download one of the browser versions that appeared before the beginning of autumn 2016. Open settings by clicking on Opera and selecting the desired item from the drop-down list. Or use the combination Ctrl+F12. Find the “Security” tab, and in it the “VPN” item. Check the box and you will see a virtual private network icon in the top bar. That's it, we have enabled the privacy function.

Now open the cattle depot website.

Fast one-time method

You can try this too:

Example of using the Stockyard

It's simple. Indicate your VK user ID and receive information (friends, photos).

Where else can you look for people and photos?

If you were unable to “get into” the site’s database, try finding the user’s private content on other networks. For example, one album with a photo in VK can be hidden, but in Odnoklassniki or Facebook it can be publicly accessed. If you know a person's last name, find their other pages on .

You can also find a person from a photograph. Perhaps you will find more open information about it on another site. To start an image search, do the following:
