STEAL - Google Datacenter Validator

[sweetman 1]

Well my first bot was going to be the tutorial keyword bot, but as soon as I ran it I ran into the same problem as talked about here:

 

http://ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2308-problems-with-keyword-tutorial/page__hl__tutorial%20problem__fromsearch__1

 

SO I decided my first bot would be a solution to this. I made a bot that will go through the list of datacenter IPs at GOOGLE found here: http://www.seocritiq...datacentertool/ and use a web service to ping them. The ones that are valid are added to a list called $validdcs

 

You should be able to call this script before you do a bunch of queries to Google and set a variable from the list which would be a random list item, go to Google and input your query. You could loop and choose a new datacenter every X times.

 

I thought I would use it to make the keyword tutorial work, but then I decided that it really was something I should share. I figure if I can share tidbits like this I will get help more often because by no means am I great with this yet... That being said the program must be pretty easy to use because I just wrote a script that will go through a bunch of datacenter ips and find the valid ones right?

 

NOTE: You probably want to reduce the size of the dclist.txt to fewer IPS or the script will take all day finding valid ones. Usually 10-20 will be fine I would think, if you are doing a BUNCH of Google queries then you might run this at the beginning of your script to ensure no problems with Google saying you are using a bot.

 

You can download the source and the datacenter IP list in ZIP format here:

It worked for me, but if you have problems let me know and I will try to update it... on to bigger and better things!

Nice concept and thanks for the share. I've been putting delays in but that slows things down sooo much it gets really irritating. This is a much better way to do it.

Well the speed on this one isn't what I prefer, but since you have to do everything in a browser I think it is the best workaround. I didn't want a script that would switch datacenters and possibly switch to one that didn't work, I am all about error proofing. Glad you can use it!

Nice idea to get around the dreaded 'you are a bot' message from Google.

 

However, when the script "search page" searches for '0% packet loss' then it will still find this when there is '100% packet loss'!!!

 

I have amended the search to ', 0% packet loss,' and tested with two IP addresses, one reachable and one not and I get to the reachable one all of the time!

 

Just shows how careful you have to be with your selections.

 

I thought that it might also be interesting to play with the logic flow a little - I might try the following:

 

Load list of IPs -> clear valid ips -> while count of valid IPs is less than say 2 then loop for say up to 100 times

-> pick random IP and test it -> keep looping until we have say two reachable IPs -> Pick one of them -> go there!

 

That's what so much fun with UBot, lots of different logics to get to the same place.
