alexb 2 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi, I am in the process of building a surfing bot and wondering how I might add the Alexa Toolbar installed on the bot to build up Alexa "hits" ? Any ideas on how to do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edward_2 85 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 The Ubot Browser is a Google Chrome Browser. You should start with that. I do know some Crome plugins works inside the ubot browser. The google voice/talk plugin is one. peace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotDev 276 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi, I am in the process of building a surfing bot and wondering how I might add the Alexa Toolbar installed on the bot to build up Alexa "hits" ? Any ideas on how to do this?You won't be able to add toolbar to UBot browser, but I remember that a while ago I was able to make Alexa think that I have toolbar inside UBot, by changing user agent (notice "Alexa Toolbar" at the end): set user agent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; U; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0 Alexa Toolbar") Hope that helps. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mamica 10 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 And by simply using this useragent and surfing the pages our alexa will rise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marton 48 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Is it possible in any way to boost Alexa with Ubot (I have a traffic bot, that's why I'm asking)? Would an Alexa Toolbar plugin be possible for Ubot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotDev 276 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 So, what is the use of tricking Alexa that the Ubot browser is using Alexa toolbar ? Since the toolbar is missing, Ubot browser won't be able to show Alexa results the Alexa browser could have.The trick was that Alexa displayed more data on their when you had toolbar installed....

the_way 52 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 If you use a vps, you could setup someone that would automatically allow you to pull the alexa data via a simple mouse recorder script to paste into your bot or something. A bit tricky, but workable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moise 0 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Is there any solution to add Alexa tracking code (as plugin etc) in Ubot ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kev123 132 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 if you would like to display this use the http plugin and display in the ui above if you line everything up correctly (talking about people who have dev version) you should have no problem making it look right Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So displaying it is not the problem, in fact I think it should be hidden, but still act like an actual Alexa toolbar. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying though, could you please elaborate on it? Unfortunately a solution with the http plugin wouldn't be what most people need here, since it should be browser-based like the actual Alexa Toolbar (for simple traffic generation etc...) I'm not a pro in the matter though (and I'm not even sure it's possibble through the Awesomium browser), sorry if I'm missing something here Marton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bot-Factory 602 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 The toolbar plugin probably executes a http post request against the alexa server. So you have to sniff that request and recreate it with http plugin. That's probably the easiest way to do it. If the alexa toolbar requires a login, you have to sniff that login request as well and save the cookie response. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Oh I see, you guys meant we should sniff the requests from the toolbar plugin for the popular browsers (Chrome/FF etc.). I though you meant an actual Ubot plugin. Thanks for the clarification. I guess it's doable with the http plugin then. Cheers,Marton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shopping2012 2 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I made an Alexa Bot already ... First you have to "sniff" a lot of AIDS, Alexa Identification .... not AIDS in usual way ;-)Then you have to build up a http post and http get query, building a long string. You can find out by surfing with an installed toolbar and sniff the queries with httpfox https://data.alexa.com/data/FraAh1BkwE00wk?cli=10&ver=alxf-2.21&dat=ns&cdt=rq%3D1%26wid%3D23783%26t%3D1%26ss%3D1920x1080%26bw%3D1936%26winid%3D7779914659842841412751191473%26s%3D200%26m%3DGET%26cttl%3D5541&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rx2.eu%2Fgroups%2Fgroup-chat%2Flive-chat%2F&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rx2.eu%2F And it's a lot more tricky than that. After the alexa.com/data/ there is a unique (!!) string, which is produced by Alexa AFTER a toolbar is downloaded and installed. So this one only exists ONE TIME ever. You also see "wid", showing the resolution of your desktop and winid, which is also UNIQUE. At the end there is "ref=http", which sends the current webpage to Alexa and where you came from or where the former page was, you visited. A little bit complicated, as you have to sniff AIDS first (I sniffed around 3K now, took me 3 days in total). So you need a VALID QUERY TO Alexa in order to get hits counted. I made my own Alexa bot with proxy support, works quite ok, but needs continues hits to Alexa to either maintain your rank or to lower it finally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shopping2012 2 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Keep in mind, if you only sniff "your request", it contains your unique "AIDS" string. If you hammer it with hits, I assume Alexa will know about ... Especially when using multithreaded functions in Ubot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
