 Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:45 pm Post subject: Make a bot that clicks on a button every hour |
 |
|
I'm a newbie that really would like to make a bot, Ill just start with explaining how I want this one to work:
It sould press a button every hour then wait till the website is fully loaded, and then it would press it again. And after that just wait another hour. I just wonder if this is possible to do without scripting? I tried to read some tutorials but I really think this is very much for a newbie to get into, so I thought Id just ask here if someone maybe take the challenge? I dont think its too hard to do?
Also I wonder if there is programs that I can just "show" the program what button it is, and then choose how often and for how long, how many times, etc it would press it. Also other things. Is there any programs that have close to those functions? |

What are you trying to do? Cheat on a "top sites" site?
Generally speaking, the button doesn't need to be clicked on at all; you just need to make your script go and do what the button itself is doing: make a request, submit some data, etc.

It's not that hard. We are talking about a button on a web page, right? Generally you just make a script to submit a form then.
Example:
| Code: | <!-- this is the web page you wanna submit the form on -->
<form name="logn" action="/login.cgi" method="post">
<b>Username:</b>
<input type="text" size="30" name="user"><br>
<b>Password:</b>
<input type="password" size="30" name="pw"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="yes" id="rm">
<label for="rm">Keep me logged in.</label><p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log In">
</form> |
Then...
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $agent = new LWP::UserAgent;
$agent->agent ('Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT'); # forge a user agent
# Post the form.
my $request = $agent->post ("http://site.eu/login.cgi", {
user => 'Soandso',
pw => 'my_passw0rd',
remember => 'yes', # checked the box, lol
submit => 'Log In', # if the submit button had a name/value, pass it too
});
# Request sent. Success?
if ($request->is_success) {
# Get the src code of the page that login.cgi returned.
my $src = $request->content;
} |
Look into LWP::UserAgent. It's powerful.
On a more moral note, don't do this if your intention is to hit a site that has policies that say "NO AUTOMATED BOTS!" or anything of that extent. You're likely to get yourself in trouble if you're making something like this in order to cheat at anything or give yourself an unfair advantage by automating requests through a bot.

To clarify,
View the source code of the page that contains the button you want. Find out which <form>...</form> tag the button is inside of. Note the <form>'s action and method. Read through the HTML code and look for the names of all the <input>, <select>, and <textarea> objects. Note their values where appropriate.
Then, use LWP::UserAgent to request the 'action' that you got from the <form>, using the 'method' from the <form> (ex. GET or POST), and send a hash reference that contains all of the names you got out of the form's fields along with some values to place into those fields.
But since it looks like this is all just an effort to cheat at an online game, I'm not going to hand the code to you. You seem to lack even a very basic understanding of the HTTP protocol, much less Perl itself. I've handed you all the information you need; figure it out.

I find it a lot faster to use wireshark and click the button yourself, then just examine the output. Helps for sites which have nasty redirects and stuff. Also, it sounds like youre trying to cheat on some browser based game (outwar or similar?) so bear in mind they might have a captcha or similar system in place and you could get banned from the site (I found this out when I wrote a bot to add every single person on myspace to my friends list  ) after 40 invitations, I had to enter the numbers shown in a box every 3rd invitation, then after about 80 of those they just banned me. |
