Ok, just talked to a guy who told me that he has a software that can crack cloaked page (not a User Agent cracker btw) but he didn't say if it was doing IP spoofing like i suspect.
From what i've heard the problem is not to change your IP address to ping and ask the site you want for the cloaked page that is the main problem but that site will return the cloaked page to the IP that Googlebot has so therefore you need to catch the packets when they are coming out of that site's server or when it will arrive at Google's server and i've been told it's almost impossible to do or at least very hard.
For example i can modify my telephone so that it displays to you that i'm calling from the white house but if you hang up and call the white house i'm gonna have a good time derouting that call so that it's MY phone that rings and not the one at the white house...you follow me?
But hey, i'm not saying that he is lying here, maybe some great programmer made such a software but it would be stupid and almost impossible to make it publicly available to download before the FBI jumps on that guy since IP spoofing is illegal.
What's your thoughts on that? Is it a joke or that underground script really exist.

Not possible. IP spoofing only works on the outbound. If you spoof, you never get the return packet to see the cloaked content.

It's someone having some fun with you. We really don't want that kind of bad info being put out. It seems to make the rounds about once every six months and it causes problems for us every times.
Anyone have better solutions or links to other posts that could help me here decloak those pages?
Thanks,
