Question:
Internet Bot creating large number of accounts on a website.?
2012-04-18 00:02:00 UTC
Now, we all know that "Captcha code" was introduced to prevent the use of "Internet Bots" and is now used in almost all the websites, (including this very website). Now, I have recently come across a website that does not uses captcha code and on the registration page asks only these: email address, confirm email address, password, confirm password, Birth year, and Nationality. No email confirmation is Required in this website. Now, I want to create an Internet Bot that will create a large number of accounts on this website, all having the same password, Birth Year and Nationality, and the list of email addresses to be used will be given by me as input.

Can somebody give me a heads up on as to what language would be required to do this or as to what specific aspects of the language would be required. Is it illegal? Will I have to face some consequences?

Learn javascript.



If you are abusing the site then you can get in trouble. Hacking websites ( which is what you are wanting to do ) is in most cases illegal. By flooding their page with request you are not only clogging up their server, but you are most likely violating their terms of service as well.



Look at the terms of service. When you sign up you agree to these. What do they say? Do they limit number of accounts per person?



So you want to create a bunch of accounts? Well, Programming isn't easy. It's not like the movies where you push ctrl+alt+k and your in to their server. It's going to take you many many hours to reach a beginners level. Why not take the time and just create the accounts?



Also, you will have to create different emails for every account. I guarantee you they use email as the primary key.

creating so many accounts on the same site is not so good for your site, i suggest you register accounts on many other sites, of course, there are many account register to you, such as BotChief, i uesd this bot, and it is very easy, in addition, if you need any other function about this bot, you can request the programmer to add or program some other features for you.

Wow, yet another stupid question from India, and wanting to know how to do something stupid and malicious...



No one here is going to tell you how to screw with a website like that. Take your hacker wannabe *** elsewhere.

Cannot use the same email id. E-mail address is used as a primary key.

As a language you can use AIML ie, Artificial Intelligence Markup Language. Javascript is also fine.

Of course creating bots is illegal as multiple requests would bring their server down; but try your best to cover up before doing so!!

enjoy!!
