Free MySpace search tool by a Freelancer

Posted by zlatipln on September 24, 2008

I am tired doing programs for a freelance site and not choosing me.

Instead of it, I will publish here for free download some of my programs – most of them are ebay, myspace tools, scrappers and data mining. Also have forum posters, translators-dictionary, and all the Internet stuff that can be automated.

If you have ideas, questions or found bugs – please leave a short comment to let me know.

Soon will start my Autoit tutorial also.

The first program I want to give out for free is MySpace search tool: http://craigmaster.freehostia.com/MsTool.rar

No need to install – just run and type your search words, space separated:

for example: Seattle T-mobile phone, or  Clay Aiken, Dallas yoga or Ohio Google phone or California restaurant or Vegas casino, etc.

Wait program to do the search. Three files are created : the “ms.csv” – results and two temp files – you can delete them.

To terminate program use ESC.

At the end there are all friendIDs found for your search /clay aiken in example./

Soon will post second program which uses that friendID to extract more data from user profiles, even theyr MySpace layout.

Here is the source:

#include<ie.au3>
#include<inet.au3>
#include<array.au3>
#include<file.au3>
Dim $a, $aa
HotKeySet(“{ESC}”, “Terminate”)
$f = FileOpen(‘ms.csv’, 2)
$search0 = InputBox(“searcg box”, “Please type the search words separated by space”)
$search = StringReplace($search0, ‘ ‘, ‘%20′)
$u = “http://searchservice.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=sitesearch.results&qry=” & $search & “&type=AllMySpace”
InetGet($u, ‘temp.txt’)
_FileReadToArray(‘temp.txt’, $a)
For $ar = 100 To 300
 If StringInStr($a[$ar], ‘ results for’) Then
  $br = SttringBetween($a[$ar], ’span>’, ‘ results for’)
  ;ConsoleWrite($br & @CR)
  ExitLoop
 EndIf
Next
$br = StringReplace($br, ‘,’, ”)
$br = StringReplace($br, ‘of’, ”)
$br = StringReplace($br, ‘ ‘, ”)
FileWriteLine($f, ‘Found:’ & $br & ‘ results for ‘ & $search0)
$br = Number($br)
For $i = 1 To round($br/10)
 HotKeySet(“{ESC}”, “Terminate”) 
 $u1 = “http://searchservice.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=sitesearch.results&qry=” & $search & “&type=AllMySpace&searchid=f6309e4f-39f2-43c6-9b59-5adef4eaa395&pg=” & $i
 InetGet($u1, ‘temp1.txt’)
 _FileReadToArray(‘temp1.txt’, $aa)
 $lines =$aa[0]
 $rold=”
 For $j = 100 To $lines
  HotKeySet(“{ESC}”, “Terminate”)
  If StringInStr($aa[$j], ‘friendid=’) Then
   $r = SttringBetween($aa[$j], ‘friendid=’, ‘”‘)
   if $r=$rold then continueloop
   if stringlen($r)<9 then
   FileWriteLine($f, $r)
      EndIf
   $rold=$r
  EndIf
 Next
Next
MsgBox(0, ‘READY!’, ‘You can see results in ms.csv file’)
FileClose($f)

Func Terminate()
 FileClose($f)
 Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Func SttringBetween($s, $from, $to)
 $x = StringInStr($s, $from) + StringLen($from)
 $y = StringInStr(StringTrimLeft($s, $x), $to)
 Return StringMid($s, $x, $y)
EndFunc   ;==>SttringBetween

===========================================================

In next post I will upload source code file in .Au3 format /Autoit/ with comments.

You will be able to compile it, change it and add more features.

Antispywaremaster.com Virus

Posted by zlatipln on September 24, 2008

Yet another Myspace virus. It can be seen on Myspace forums. Pop ups offer you to download Antispywaremaster.com software telling you are infected with thousands of trojans and viruses. It is similar to WindowsAntivirus 2008 and AntispywareDeluxe.

The standard message is:

Warning! xx suspicious files found! Potentially dangerous files were found on your system during the last scan! IT is highly recommended to remove them as soon as possible…
Remove Now!”

DO NOT CLICK ON THE AD!!!

The pop up is impossible to close, so you have to close the Myspace malicious page as soon as possible and use popup blockers and firewall.

If you got infected, first stop asm.exe and/or Antispywaremaster.exe processes /Alt+Ctrl+Del/ to open Task Manager, find processes and delete them.

Then run regedt32 and find and delete the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AntiSpywareDeluxe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AntiSpywareDeluxe_is1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AntispywareD
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AntiSpywareMaster
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\{5222008A-DD62-49c7-A735-7BD18ECC7350}

/Hint – try Edit menu –> search from the root ‘MyComputer’ for ‘AntiSpyware’ and delete all results found/

At the end, find and delete the following files:

AntiSpywareMaster 7.3.url
%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\AntiSpywareMaster.lnk
%UserProfile%\Desktop\AntiSpywareMaster.lnk
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\AntiSpywareMaster\AntiSpywareMaster.lnk
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\AntiSpywareMaster\Uninstall AntiSpywareMaster.lnk

/Hint – try Search console –> search ‘MyComputer’ for word ’AntiSpyware’ as file name and delete all files  found/

Myspace Possible_HiFrm Virus

Posted by zlatipln on September 23, 2008

Myspace Possible_HiFrm Virus is detected by Trend Micro mainly in login pages.

It means this is a possible malicious software using iframes to redirect your browser.

Myspase itself is not spreading viruses. This is done by users who have put some corrupted scripts in their profiles.

If you are visiting unknown Myspace page and your anti-virus program alerts for possible virus, it  is better to leave this site immediately.

The Suspicious MySpace pages contain malicious javascripts that are detected as JS_DIRESEX.A.

The script is programmed to invisibly connect you to a pornsite. If such site which pops up unexpectedly – you have been infected.

As advice in case your computer behavies strange when visited some MS pages, you have to use pop up blocker, firewall, anti-virus programs /of course./ You have to delete temporaly Internet files and restore to earlier point.
