socketing eth armors

I know of the bug when you socket an eth armor, you get 1.5 bonus defense.
But i dont know how exactly its done.

Can someone explain plz

Socket an ethereal armor using the cube recipe and the ethereal bonus will get applied a second time, resulting in an armor with higher than usual defense. The cube recipes can be found on the Arreat Summit.
