Default Re: How Alexa tool bar actually works and development ideas

I can't edit my original post to put it up there, but the development version is ready.

DEVELOPMENT VERSION OF MY ALEXA TOOLBAR FAKER IS READY! PM me for a copy.

I can send it as the source code in txt files, or a compiled exe. You will need TABCTL32.OCX which is a windows OCX for tabbed display. Future aspirations for the program will be, well, at least a decent interface. Sucks right now of course. You can get the OCX by searching google, here is a link if you are lazy

Code:
http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/support_dll.phtml?dllname=TABCTL32.OCX
I don't mind letting anyone that is interested test. Shoot me a PM. All I would ask, is that you keep a record of dates, and rank of your site.

It's a little buggy right now with the way I'm verifying the winsock session, if it bombs out, just close it and open it again. It uses a list of proxies in a text file, feel free to use your own, I only have a few that will get old fast.

Simple to use, change the domain name, and how fast you want to go, it is currently single threaded and I've tossed some delays in there, so you'll never be able to do the 3000 pings per hour at this point, but feel free to reach for that number.

Hmmm.... what I need to do still on a punch list:

Multi thread winsock connections.
Redo select case if then for time delay
Add in a reporting feature to display how many it's done and to dump the stats
Add in random user-agent's, right now it just uses windows in english on ff 3.5.3
Modify the IP check a little bit... right now it checks whatismyip to see if http ip = proxy ip, may want to change it so you specify your ip and as long as it does not equal that, okay it, because some proxies show a different ip which is not the proxy one, nor yours.

I also plan to build a referrer spam function into the other tab, as well as saved controls and what not.
That's the other thing, is save the URL and settings.

Along with any other suggestions anyone has... please suggest and I will add them as we go.

So, PM me, and I'll shoot it over to you. It is extremely alpha, so please do not share this, just refer people to me and I'll email it to you, all I ask is like I said, to keep track of your stats. I only get on a couple of times per day, so patience if I don't respond immediately!

LMK thanks everyone.

Just add on here, try the wireshark or other packet sniffers as well. If you don't understand the source code or don't know how to compile it, you can still see what the program is doing and compare it to what the alexa toolbar does.
