I've just tested the current download and it's working for me. Can you use the support email address and tell us your system specs please? We'll get it working for you! :)
Using XP(old school), Sure will email the support team.
Thanks
 
In my pc, it crashes "Programme not responding" as soon as I start the footprint scrape. (windows 8.1 pro)

Ok the developer says it may be because he need to update his compiler. They released a new update this month which I assume is for Windows 8.1. He thinks he can have it fixed in about 4 hours.

Sorry about that, but Windows 8.1 is new and I don't have it so I was not able to test on it before we published FpF. Thanks for the feedback :)

Its free version. It has limitations. For example the limitation of allowing only 25 urls at a time. to remove the limitation one needs to buy the Paid version which is worth 57$

You can do a lot with 25 URLs. Let me show what I got just now running just 10 URLs, for PHP Fox CMS:

Code:
"contact us"
"forgot your password?"
"keep me logged in"
"you seem to be using an older version of internet explorer. this site requires internet explorer * or higher. update your browser here today to fully enjoy all the marvels of this site."
"email:"
"password:"
"mobile"
"photos"
"sign up"
"videos"
"members"
"privacy"
"invite"
"the blog you are looking for cannot be found."
"search"
"events"
"marketplace"

All of those appear 30-60% of the time, I ignored any footprints that appears less than 30% of the time. FpF found more than 300 footprints before I removed those under 30%. It took FpF less than one minute to find them. So running a list of 25 URLs would return a lot more than just 10 which I've used.

Its not working for me either,keep crushing!

Can you send us some details? Our contact details are at the bottom of the OP. So, OS, dot net version etc. Is it a genuine copy of Windows?

The issue with Virus total scan has been fixed so please do not post anything more about this, on this thread.
 
I am impressed. Even though I'm still trying to figure out the specifics on the "how" of a lot of this (being new to scraping), I get the "why" - and I get the fact that this tool can help tremendously. Hopefully someone can shed a bit of light on some questions that I'm having so I can get on with the "how" :)

For starters, I'm confused about adding in keywords... both in general with regard to FpF and specifically with combining it with GScraper. I'll try to explain my confusion...

With FpF (I got the upgrade which allows for the permutations), I can easily generate LOTS of footprints. I mean in a matter of minutes I have 10's of thousands of footprint combinations, even after trimming down to the higher percentage snippets. If I now add a just a dozen keywords (much less 100s or 1,000s of keywords) onto each of those footprints.... the numbers just get ridiculous! LOL

Plus, what I really don't get is that aren't I better off using JUST the footprints? I mean using team74's example from above, wouldn't I find more and better targets using just "contact us", "forgot your password?" and "keep me logged in" than if I used those PLUS added in random keywords, so searching for "contact us", "forgot your password?", "keep me logged in" and "dog" or "contact us", "forgot your password?", "keep me logged in" and "tile"? What am I missing here? (I'm sure it's right under my nose... sorry for being dense.)

My next question is about using these footprints specifically about GScraper (I'm new to GScraper too).

It seems that I can't scrape in GS without using keywords to append on to my footprints. If that's the case, then I either need to do just a few keywords (or even just 1) so that I can get through the quantity of quality FpF generated footprints (but that also include that 1 keyword), OR I add a bunch of keywords, which exponentially explodes my footprint list, taking forever to scrape (for example, I stopped one scrape after ~24 hours after it had 8 MILLION results... and it was only something like 5% complete!)

Even after that massive scrape (massive in my mind - I know others work with far bigger numbers...), then de-duping domains and adding them to GSA SER, I didn't see my list of verifieds really increase that much.

I have no doubt this is a case of "user error"... I think between FpF, GScraper and SER, I should be able to put together a pretty lethal combination... But so far, it's just killing ME try to figure it out! LOL

Thanks in advance for any help, advice, guidance etc.
 
From testing i made, it really is a great tool to find better link targets for a specific platform.Also scrapebox did a hell of a good job. However i wonder how good are the results if you use the full version after you get much more data.

Well, while I'm still trying to learn how to make the most of it (getting to grips with scraping to help with GSA SER targets), I have to say that the full version certainly amps up the results exponentially. I used the free version first, and definitely got some good results. But adding in more (WAY more) than 25 URLs at a time, then adding in the permutations that come out... the resulting numbers get really big really quick. When you figure the more variables you can search for automatically, the more targets you'll end up with, it just makes sense.

What I'm still struggling with though is how to bring in the results to SER - it seems like while my scraping is getting huge numbers of targets (meaning FpF and GScraper are doing their part), my new verified submissions aren't going up nearly like I thought they would. I'm pretty sure it's down to user error, so I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong...

Thanks Mexiken! Sorry for the delay, it's been tough to get into BHW recently.

If I now add a just a dozen keywords (much less 100s or 1,000s of keywords) onto each of those footprints.... the numbers just get ridiculous! LOL

My favorite method is ONLY using FPF for the footprints, and then use HRefer to add the keywords (additive words list), and also uses FPF Pro's URL mode to make the sieve filter, so I only scrape URLs that follow the CMS pattern.

Plus, what I really don't get is that aren't I better off using JUST the footprints? I mean using team74's example from above, wouldn't I find more and better targets using just "contact us", "forgot your password?" and "keep me logged in" than if I used those PLUS added in random keywords, so searching for "contact us", "forgot your password?", "keep me logged in" and "dog" or "contact us", "forgot your password?", "keep me logged in" and "tile"?

For your words list, if you rely on just a few words, commons words from different languages. I mainly use:

English
German
Spanish
Mandarin (Chinese)
Russian

Take 20 words from each if you have large footprint lists.

Also with permutation, you have to make a choice. This is also true of FpF free:

1. Go specific (popular CMS, like wordpress or VBulletin)
  1. You can skip this step if you're using the Free Version: Use URL mode if you have some way of sorting scraped URLs by URL structure. This is an advanced topic, especially if you don't have Hrefer.
  2. Go for a FEW footprints, the sure winners that appear on 30%+ of urls.
  3. Use high permutation values, like 2-3 or 3-3, or even 3-4 if your footprint list is small.
  4. Use a large keywords list in different languages. You can add keywords with FpF, or with your scraper (GScraper, ScrapeBox, HRefer).
  5. This will get you a large list, which is also very refined to the CMS.

That's my favorite method.

The second is:

2. Shotgun (good for FpF Free, and smaller CMS that GSA covers)
  1. Ignore URL mode
  2. Go for lots of footprints, but make sure they actually ARE footprints, and not just spammer footprints. 10%+ is a good number.
  3. Use permutation if you want to, but don't go higher than 2-2
  4. Because you will have a large footprint list, don't use a large keyword list. Just use a select few from each language.
  5. I call this "shotgun" because you will find other CMS links (this depends on your initial CMS choice too), but if you use GSA then you can simply import and run the list and it will sort them into their respective CMS.

This method will help you build lists for other CMS, which means you will have a larger sample to run through FpF again.

Use either of these, and your strategy should be determined by how popular the CMS of your initial list is, and if you have FpF Pro (for URL mode, and permutation).


I can't say much about GScraper because I don't use it, but I think I covered your other questions above anyway.

You do get more data, but it's finding the quality footprints that matters most!

A lot of this is down to how GSA finds and uses targets. You can edit the engines so they identify and post to these platforms better. There are also input/email/verification factors that affect GSA results.

Thanks for the amazing share, going to check it out.

Do check the Huge list of footprints which can be used along with this tool: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...gine-optimization-footprints-collections.html

Those are some good lists, and FpF can make lists like that very quickly.

These days I would not advice using "inurl" and "site" operators because Google will ban your proxies much faster.
 
That's the tool what I was searching for. We need more tools like this - payed or free. I needed to scrape my own list for Ultimate Demon and I find it time consuming and boring compering all these platforms. Will test this tool and see how it goes. The only problem with footprints is scraping sites in Google with advanced operators. They block every IP with captcha after couple of searches. How about creating special tool for that too :) Paying for 1000 private proxies is not way to go. I want to add something about your video. It is really annoying having that white box with captions covering half of the video.

That's what I am using too. Where are you running it from (folder)? What AV you using?
