Help: The Yahoo Registration form is Eating my Sanity

xmcp123 · Oct 6, 2008

Ok. So this should not be as difficult as it's appearing it is. But I'm stumped, so I thought I'd appeal to the greater WF for help on this one. I know one of you mofos finished a yahoo account registration bot.
Ok. So my bot allows for manual input for the captcha(at least for now)
Step 1: Entering the Captcha

(see, it's entered correctly)

Step 2: Yahoo Lies to Me

What I've Tried So Far

Javascript-disabled signups ARE allowed. But I've tried switching the value jsenabled back and forth from 0 to 1.
The script downloads(recursively) EVERY associated CSS, Javascript, background image, normal image, etc. Parses HTML and CSS to find them. Can't parse JS, but in theory a JS disabled signup can work, so...
The script's postdata appears to be identical to the sign up form.
There's an extra cookie or two on the reg form(can't find where they come from), but if it's not JS/an image/a CSS? It may just be for their advertisement serving.
The registration links are properly extracted, as is the submit locations.
Yes, it loads the same cookie on the 2 different screens. It's arranged by unique ID that's passed from one to the other, so I'm sure it's not overwritten.
I tried requesting the captcha twice and saving to 2 different files. Theory was if the cookies weren't carrying right, they'd save different results. They were identical, so all appears to be well.

Detailed Info ( Note - I used an asterisk to black out stuff that could identify my requests)

So for fucks sake, if any of you guys have done this before and know whatever bizarre thing yahoo is doing, throw me a bone?
I'm sure it's something stupid on my part, but that doesn't make it less maddening.

Just food for thought, I did read on syndik8 that some other popular form won't submit properly if the google analytics tracking code isn't passed as well. I doubt Yahoo is using GA, but maybe there's something else that's not immediately part of their own header that they're checking for.

Well, that would mean I couldn't register without JS, but I've done it w/o JS using firefox. Also, it downloads all the javascript files anyways :\
Thanks though. This is driving me nuts.
Edit: On second thought, it must be something similar. Flash maybe?

If its case sensitive then the 2nd letter would be an F not f

Not sure if it is honestly, but either way I've tested this thing dozens of times and normally solve it case sensitive just in case.

Are you POSTing to the registration page with the same cookie as you used to get the CAPTCHA? RE-CAPTCHA doesn't require that, but the digg CAPTCHA does for example.

To explain further:

1. GET the registration page and save a copy of the CAPTCHA. If you're using curl use CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and save the cookie to /tmp/cookie.tmp or whatever
2. POST to the registration page, and make sure you use the same cookie jar.

If you're already doing that let me know and I'll take a crack at it myself - I know how frustrating these can be.

Cheers,

Leon

Yup, the cookie is the same when requesting the captcha.

d60eba · Oct 6, 2008

I managed to get it to work. The process I used was:

1. Go to https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?.intl=us&new=1&.done=http%3A//mail.yahoo.com&.src=ym and scrape the page
2. Save the hidden fields and the captcha image to disk
3. Open the image you saved and read the captcha
4. Post to the registration page with the text of the captcha you just read, and the hidden fields you just saved. You actually don't need the same Cookie, I was wrong about that - you just need to make sure you are posting the hidden fields and the captcha text that coincide. Here's the PHP I was using:

Code:

Too long-will post separately

Once you run that you'll see something like Saved image to D:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temp\IMG368F.tmp. Go find that file, change the extension to jpg and read the captcha. Then run

Code:

 $social_post->yahoo_do_reg('368F');

where 368F matches the name from the previous screen. Of course you'll need to change the postfields. That's just a quick hack together - you'll probably want to save everything in a db.

Hope that helps,

Leon
