It often happens that you desperately need to look at photographs private profile VK. As you know, any user has the opportunity to independently choose the privacy level of their profile, so closing an entire album or individual photos is a matter of a few clicks. It turns out that you can look at closed photos! There are certain tricks and “holes”, one of which we will tell you about today.

Keep in mind that they all close quickly, so it’s not a fact that this, like any other method, will be valid in a week or month.

You will need:

Opening the source code

First, try it. If the albums do not open, then proceed as follows. So, open the profile of the person whose photos we want to see. Next, we need to open the source code of this page.

To do this, right-click on a free area, and in the context menu look for the item “View page source code”, “View element code”, or the like. You can also use the F12 key if you have Google Chrome. So, here is the source code of the page. What's next?

Looking for the required fragment

Using the key combination Ctrl+F, open the search bar and enter the word “albums” there.

There will be several results, but we need the one followed by numbers (this is the profile ID). As a rule, this fragment will be the third from the beginning in the search results. Found it? Great, copy them using the Ctrl+C key combination.

Working with the address bar

So, we have the necessary code fragment. What's next? In order to view hidden photos in Contact, return to the required page (we no longer need the page with the source code).

IN address bar browser we see a link like vk.com/id#####, where #### is the page ID. You should know and friends. Place the cursor at the end of the address line and enter the following characters into it: “?z=”, after which we copy here that fragment from source code page we were looking for.

As a result, the address bar of the browser should contain the following: vk.com/id####?z=albums####, where #### is the person’s ID.

We press Enter, and all the photographs of the person open in front of us.

In this simple way, you can view photos in a closed album in VKontakte, as well as see a list of albums of those people who have been removed from VKontakte friends or unfamiliar users.

A list of groups will open in which you can select the ones that suit you. If the group is open, you can easily view all its contents: audio, video, photos, discussions.

It is clear that many are interested viewing hidden VKontakte pages, because if some information is secret, then it becomes even more desirable.

Less than two years after the creation of VK, sites like skotobaza.ru or spalili.ru have already appeared, which allow view hidden pages on VKontakte. Not all pages, but only photo albums.

Up to hidden videos and hidden personal pages users have not yet reached, after all, Durov’s team did a good job creating the feeling complete freedom and anonymity of staying in social network, and also tried to create an Internet platform where you can freely express your opinion. But the situation is that several years ago the state seriously took up Internet censorship and copyright protection.

Nes, of course, is doing better than on Facebook, where everyone boasts about their freedom of speech, but in the end they block accounts on the social network for the word “crest” or “negro.”

From the beginning of the article, you probably already realized that no matter how hard you try, you cannot completely hide your VKontakte page.

You can exclude it from the search, you can deny access to your page to everyone except your friends and friends of friends or only certain people, but data from closed albums can end up in the databases of the special sites we talked about above.

Therefore, do not store your personal photos that cannot be shown to other people in closed VK albums.

And about how to implement views of hidden VKontakte pages we again understood from the beginning of the article. But we only learned how to view a closed VK album from friends or strangers, but we will talk about how to view other hidden pages in the next article.

By the way, agents can view hidden pages and even more so photo and video albums technical support. How did you find out? Yes, very simple! One blogger decided to check whether it was true or not and uploaded several photos of the CPU. For those who don't know, cp is the favorite files of pedophiles. I won’t say how exactly it is deciphered, since filters search engines greatly reduce the position of the site where such words appear. Do not lie? Try to find at least one site with this content. They are either blocked or do not appear in search results at all. Now they have taken a very tough approach to banning this topic.

So here it is. Let's return to our test. The blogger who uploaded these files to a closed album and did not even use the names of these files anywhere was blocked forever for sending child pornography. And VKontakte technical support agents saw these files in a closed album. They never answered questions about where they got access to the closed album.

Let's now look at the main ways to view all the hidden data on another person's page without the help of third-party sites. Your friend or foe, it doesn’t matter.

To view all hidden applications, music (audio recordings), videos, photos, friends, groups, etc., you will have to substitute the ID of the page on which you want to find in the URL hidden files, posts and pages.

We wrote about what an ID is and how to find it.

In short:

Hidden photo albums - vk.com/albumsID of a person
Find photos where the person is tagged - vk.com/tagID
Hidden videos - vk.com/videosID of a person
Find videos that are tagged - vk.com/video.php?act=tagview&id=person ID
Hidden audio recordings - vk.com/audio.php?id=person ID
Hidden applications - vk.com/apps.php?mid=Person ID
If the wall is hidden or you are on the blacklist and you have been denied access to the page - vk.com/wallID of the person
Hidden notes - vk.com/notesID of person
Questions - vk.com/questions.php?mid=Person ID
Hidden groups and other communities - vk.com/groups.php?id=Person ID
Rating (no longer relevant) - vk.com/rate.php?act=vote&id=person ID
Hidden gifts - vk.com/gifts.php?id=Person ID
Wishes (also not relevant, but hidden friends are shown at this address) - vk.com/gifts.php?act=wishlist&mid=person ID

There are many public pages on VKontakte, such as: 90-60-90, 40 KG, Sports girls. In these public pages, users post photos of their figures, “before” and “after” photos of dieting/sports, etc. The total number of photographs in the albums of these groups sometimes exceeds tens of thousands. When posting photographs, many do not think about the consequences, naively believing that if they throw their photo into thousands of similar ones, no one will find it. Below the cut describes the process of searching for photos of a specific user in groups.

Formulation of the problem

1. uid - VKontakte user ID
2. gid - VKontakte group ID

Necessary:

1. Find all photos of user uid published in group gid
2. Determine which album each photo is in

VKontakte API

Contact does not have a method for directly retrieving photos posted by a specific user in a specific group. However, you can achieve the desired result using the following scheme:
1. Get a list of albums using the photos.getAlbums method:

VK.api("photos.getAlbums", ( gid: gid), function(result)( if (result.response)( // The list of albums is in the result.response array // The album ID is in the aid field)else( / / Failed to get the list of albums ) ));

2. Get a list of photos in the album (aid) using the photos.get method:

VK.api("photos.get", ( gid: gid, aid: aid), function(result)( if (result.response)( // The list of photos is in the result.response array // The ID of the photo owner is contained in the field owner_id // The ID of the photo is contained in the pid field )else( // Failed to get the list of photos in the album ) ));

3. Get the URL of the photo using the photos.getById method

VK.api("photos.getById", ( photos: pids ), function(result)( if(result.response)( for(var i=0; i

How to speed up the search?

Going through all the groups is a rather lengthy process and running it every time you search for a photo of a specific person is not advisable. To speed up the search, it is enough to index all the photos by adding an index to the internal table.
The table only needs to contain 3 fields:

• uid - user ID
• gid - group ID
• pid - photo ID

After indexing the groups, just run the query

SELECT * FROM table WHERE uid = uid

Searching for friends' photos

Using the friends.get method, you can get a list of friends, and then search the database to get photos of friends:

VK.api("friends.get", ( user_id: uid), function(result)( if(result.response)( // Next, we search for photos by friends' IDs) ));
