OK so I have some experience in VB, and I am looking to make a bot like wlindy 27's feeliberated or dopex's obama bot. I would want it to use the gmail+ trick, and be able to possibly use the apartment trick.

I dont really know what site I'm gonna do it for (yet) but ill find one that might actually work. Actually I was thinking of "redoing" dopex's obama bot as practice. (Maybe i can get source plz plz??) I really dont know how you would fill out the forms.

What i was thinking was actually using Http analyzer to capture the outgoing packets and with just resubmit eg the original blah.com/submit.php?adress+name+whatever. Im sure its not that easy and I would really like somebodies help with working on this in VB. If i got some help i could for sure put some time into making quality bots to bot sites such as feeliberated and moveon.org.
Thanks in advance

Ok so i already have made some headway... Need some help from here. I found that to get the sticker you have to submit this form - and the php is really easy to exploit - here it is https://political.moveon.org/baracks...rk&sticker=263 Part of it has been deleted since i realize that it is a sub only bot that i am trying to emulate - dont worry i wont realease anyhting.
After this, all you have to do is to click a "submit" button - and this is the hard part. ACtually what i think it is after looking through http analyzer is actually a post to a adress/post.pl (again not shown cause it is a sub only bot) So basically here is what i need specific answers to.

1.How do i convert spaces and other symbols to %20 in VB?
2. How do I post to a adress/post.pl in VB?
3. How do i assign and use variables in VB? eg - for the adress and name etc.
4. how do i get the gmail + trick to work eg how do I add 1 to a number every time a script repeats. I think it would be a for loop and and you would need a variable for each time the script runs to add to it. I dunno though

I think this is basically all I need. If you guys could answer that woudl be awesome. And dopex, im not sure if this is the same approach you used in your bot or not. I dont think it is. What was your approach?

1.

Dim Url As String = "blahblah replace spaces here"
Url.Replace(" ", "%20")

2. Using an httpwebrequest or a webclient

3.

Dim VarName As VarType = VarValue

since that would usually be a string

Dim Address As String = "123 Maple St."

4.

Dim Email As String
Dim EmailBase As String = "GmailBase"
For I As Integer = 1 To 100
 Email = EmailBase & "+" & I.ToString() & "@gmail.com"
Next

OK I'm totally confused- i have no idea on how to post http data.
Wlindy27 or dopex, could you advise on how you made up your bots for feeliberated and obama. Thanks in advance
