Just make sure you are clicking the X in the upper right-hand corner when you close IE.

I've deployed it onto a few virtual machines already.

By the way, this method can work with any poll skew. Just change the URL from stepone.bat

heh, I wrote a perl script to rape a local "best highschool player in town" poll to the point where it was obvious it was cheating

The news paper sponsoring it simply said "we were astounded *so and so* received over a million votes in one day!"

9/2/2011 12:20:06 PM

^^ we are getting about 5 votes every 8-10 seconds now

[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 12:22 PM. Reason : ^i will shut my two machines off when we have 56%]

one of my machines is down

Depending on your version of IE, you may have to do this first before running the method:

Internet Options > Check "Delete browsing history on exit"

Also, if the VBS script give you an error message when clicking all 4 prompts, wait a second or two more before click steptwo.vbs

9/2/2011 12:48:25 PM

You may not have to run the steptwo.vbs script at all.

Try this first,

IE > Tools > Internet Options > Check "Delete browsing history on exit"

Now see if you can just run stepone.bat, close IE with X, and run stepone.bat again and still vote.

9/2/2011 1:26:25 PM

^ I am going to spin up some windows VM's and give this a whirl.

9/2/2011 1:56:36 PM

Currently running on 3 machines.

9/2/2011 2:01:11 PM

^working fine without step 2. I am going to spin up 3-5 more.

9/2/2011 2:12:33 PM

If you could write one that just goes to Firefox Private Browsing mode over and over and vote, you wouldn't have to clear everything out repeatedly.

9/2/2011 2:27:11 PM

^ Mine is using the IE private browsing. It is as follows from a normal IE page.

first get the url of the poll page in the clip board and start at
http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/poll/results/6103161

click record macro
click on the poll page
F5
Ctrl + Shift + P (new page opens)
Click in the URL bar
Ctrl + V
Enter
Vote
Ctrl +W
End Macro

My internet isnt really fast enough to see how fast this is since im waiting too long on pages to load, ill give a seconds/vote on my home pc later if anyone is interested

I am about to kickoff 7 VMs, I just got the last setup. WE BOUT TO TAKE THIS SHIT.

[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 3:12 PM. Reason : All 7 of mine are running. They error out every now and then so I have to check on em occasionaly]

9/2/2011 2:57:35 PM

I've got a spare PC in the lab running this now in FF similar to what ^^^ is doing. Can't use my VMs at the moment.

I've got an Ixia for my perusal if I can spoof the session

9/2/2011 3:05:27 PM

oh we back!

9/2/2011 3:27:18 PM

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN. Just went OG on this. Submitted 1000 votes

9/2/2011 3:28:40 PM

so close

[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 3:30 PM. Reason : lol we back]

9/2/2011 3:30:02 PM

Now running of 5 machines.

I speed up all my machines significantly by going to the Speed tab within the Macro program:

Select "SMART Marco Turbo-Action Replay"

I vote in like 3 seconds now.

9/2/2011 3:30:18 PM

Looks like we're getting about 10 votes/sec total.

9/2/2011 3:30:24 PM

I took care of it. curl --data [post string] [url] for int x to 1000 seq



[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 3:35 PM. Reason : .]

9/2/2011 3:31:58 PM

lol @ wallace wade

9/2/2011 3:41:44 PM

Damn! That 1000 votes looks like it took care of it for now.
Makes my 1 vote per 3 seconds seem meaningless. I'll fire it back up if needed.

9/2/2011 3:46:18 PM

Now let's put Wallace Wade in 2nd

9/2/2011 3:49:42 PM

I'm hesitant to post this but for anyone who cares this is what I did, from Unix terminal:

for x in `seq 1 1000`; do curl --data "poll_id=6103161&vote=1&61111=155924591" http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/poll/results/6103161 | grep Votes; done

I felt dumb for using all this brute force shit so I had to do it correctly.

9/2/2011 3:52:12 PM

you all are fucking clutch

well done

9/2/2011 4:05:11 PM

i put 100 more towards it with ^^ just to test it out

pretty slick

9/2/2011 4:09:35 PM

so I fire up linux and type that in and it votes?

I suck at linux

9/2/2011 4:11:49 PM

this poll is stupid. duke has a highschool stadium, unc is cramped and put its luxury boxes in the end zone, and getting to the upper deck at ecu is a nightmare. carter finley has the nicest facilities, the most space, and is the most well thought out (being dug into the ground). our atmosphere and tailgating are also tops and we have the biggest jumbotron (plus two smaller ones).

(i know i'm preaching to the choir)

9/2/2011 4:19:43 PM

hahhaha def put Duke in second

9/2/2011 4:27:54 PM

had to change the for loop a tiny bit to get it to work on OSX.

change

for x in `seq 1 1000`;

to

for x in {1..1000};

^ I was running in OSX so I'm not sure why that didn't work straight up.

9/2/2011 5:16:49 PM

LOL.

Just kicked of AG's script for 5000 votes

[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 5:19 PM. Reason : worked fine as-is for me in OSX]

9/2/2011 5:17:06 PM

it's got to be BOA, right?

9/2/2011 5:21:24 PM

Yo AG, how did you get the info for which vote would equal Carter Finley (more out of curiosity than anything else)

9/2/2011 5:28:19 PM

I inspected the element that the submit button submits and the value was the id. Use firebug Firefox extension to inspect HTML elements.

9/2/2011 5:32:10 PM

Nicely done.

lol

9/2/2011 7:37:34 PM

So uhh...y'all are gonna vote up ECU over UNC, right?

9/2/2011 8:45:28 PM

If you do this instead in OS X:


for x in `jot - 1 1000`; do curl --data "poll_id=6103161&vote=1&61111=155924591" http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/poll/results/6103161 >>/dev/null & done


It’ll (try to) blast out 1000 votes simultaneously...

9/3/2011 2:08:28 PM

we shouldn't have to skew this poll we really do have the best one

9/3/2011 2:22:55 PM

yea! we won a poll we cheated on!!! now we need to cheat our friends at the next quarter poker night!

9/3/2011 2:27:58 PM

shut the fuck up

your team never won shit they didn't cheat at

9/3/2011 2:30:53 PM

ah yes, anyone better than you is cheating, good way to think about things.

and now for the canned "fat" comment (from another person with no pics) because your argument is fucking stupid and you lack the ability to respond logically.

^that site is so UNC biased that they needed a little NCSU love.

9/3/2011 2:55:16 PM

see, a reasonable response... but if that site is that biased, then why do you care about it? I wouldnt expect a UGA biased website to vote for UT
