Blackhat SEO – Esrun

There’s no doubt that most people hate spammers. However, whenever someone makes arguments against a spammer, I try to remind them that there’s a difference between a dumb spammer and a smart spammer.

Just because you’re a spammer, doesn’t mean you have to be lazy. A dumb spammer uses tools blindly without thought about what he’s doing. A decent spammer understands that tools are simply an instrument to make his life easier, some manual work and proper thought will ensure a better outcome.

I’ve been gaming Urban Dictionary for quite some time with automated votes. It’s extremely simple to do, even if you don’t have access to a lot of IP addresses.

Sometimes people ask me, why are you doing this or that? It doesn’t make you any money, what’s the point?. Sometimes it’s fun to do things just because you can. Just to see what can or can’t be done.

At the time of making this post, ‘esrun’ is the 5th most popular word in the E section of Urban Dictionary.

How I cheat Reddit with Auto voting software…

What is Reddit

For those of you who don’t know, Reddit is a gateway for whats new and popular on the Internet. Users submit content that they find interesting (usually a link to a site or an image) and then other users vote it up or down depending on how interesting they think it is.

The thing with Reddit is that you need a little push to get a story going. No matter how interesting your picture, story or video is, if you don’t have that initial push of votes then it’s unlikely to go anywhere.

If you’re lucky enough to have an iPhone (yes, you’re a lucky guy if you have one) then I hope you’ve jail broken it.

I know there’s a lot of arguments over jail breaking your iPhone. Most are worried that it’s going to affect their warranty if it breaks but after speaking to a few people including chewie, it seems that it’s always possible to recover it by putting it into a special recovery mode and using itunes to install the original firmware… so I don’t consider it a risk. Jail breaking only opens the iPhone up to run unofficial applications, it doesn’t open it up to run on other networks such as vodafone. If putting in for a warranty claim then you simply click ‘restore’ in itunes and it puts the original, un-jailbroken firmware on

If you don’t already know how to jail break the iPhone, well you don’t need to know! Just download the application from Quickpwn, follow the onscreen instructions and you’re done in a matter of minutes… no special hardware of software needed.

Anyway, to the point… Last night I installed the UNIX subsystem using Installer/Cydia (installer comes automatically by jail breaking the phone). This allows you to SSH into the iphone using your standard SSH client (in my case the one bundled with mac os X as standard, via terminal) using the username root and password alpine.

I’ve wanted to code applications for the iPhone but not too worried about pretty interfaces and certainly didn’t wanna learn a new language or way of coding just for that. Once you’re SSH’d into the iPhone you can do all sorts of things and I thought to myself… I wonder if I could install PHP? After all PHP really is my home from home.

I ran this command ‘apt-get install php’ and about 2 minutes later I have php running on the iphone! How cool is that!? So now if I’m out and about and sitting on an unsecured wifi, I can just run a couple of spamming scripts and sit there with the iPhone spamming away in my pocket.

Also you could create some “useful” scripts to backup SMS and phonebook contacts, log your incoming/outgoing call details and whatever else you might like. If you get hold of someones iPhone for 30 mins then you could install a nice backdoor script running on a cron job which sends you data everytime they connect to the internet… you’ll probably goto jail but hey, maybe you’re a spy for mi5
