Yes, very true.
Ads must be clicked by choice, because people want to.
Never ever should they be forced to click them, or tricked into clicking them.

Always reports those shady sites to adsense and those site ownser will be done real quick  Roll Eyes

I feel the need to ad a few facts.
Someone using this method for going through faucet lists, should keep in mind that:

Clicking a few ads every once in a while helps the faucet owners keeping their faucets alive.
Allowing popups to load before closing them, helps the faucet owners keeping the faucets alive.

So if we do that, we help the faucet owners with some revenue, because they can't keep faucets alive with no income.
In return we get some free satoshi's from their faucets. Which we all want. Yes?

Lastly: using the method i described in the first post, you can click any and all ads, allow any and all popups.

When you're done going through the faucet list(s), you just reboot and you have a crispy clean system again.
So there is no danger of infections of any kind at all.

Please think about this.
We need to help the faucet owners, in order for them to help us.

I never ask users to click ads it's against AdSense tos and user should click only those ads which he like.

To get better revenue just keep faucet clean I mean no anti bot no other trick just simple faucet page.

you're not changing the querystring by injecting a line of JavaScript

Sorry, i have to admit i was wrong there.
You're right, injecting javascript does NOT change the querystring.

Funny thing though, i just tested it on a few browsers, local and on the web.
Much unpredictable behavior between os's and (the same) browsers. hmmmmz :/

But i am derailing my own topic. Sorry   Grin

You can also run JavaScript against any web page by just typing javascript: in the address bar.

Firefox won't even run this: javascript:alert(1)
from the address bar.
Hmm, weird, I guess they've taken it out to stop social engineering attacks, but it still works in the most current version on OS X. I'm surprised a change like that would only be present on one platform.

Also, when for example a referal link is passed along via $_GET it's effectively removed from the url with your example.
Well, no, you're not changing the querystring by injecting a line of JavaScript, and if you were it wouldn't matter - the form's going to use its defined action, not what's in the address bar.

But that's all just a bunch of blah blah blah if the browser isn't even going to let you do it Smiley

It sounds time consuming though if you're visiting a lot of sites rather than just clicking submit with that addon. Is it?

It isn't. You enable firebug for all websites. Then enable javascript console.
Enable the command editor, it's in the javascript console options.
run: document.forms[0].submit()

and you're done. ^^

After putting in the command once, it's a matter of pressing "run" on the javascript console for the next submit.

I don't know this firebug way of doing things you're speaking of. I don't do a whole lot of faucet grabbing.

Hi.

sure, you're right.
 
Sandboxie will work, as will a virtual machine.
But: they both can leak and are not 100% safe.

Also, sandboxie or a virtual machine get loaded on top of your running operating system, thus consuming much resources.
Booting from usb / dvd creates a read only file system, far away from your daily used operating system, so it's much safer.

Firebug is way better then easysubmit, as it let's you view, and modify anything on the page, aswell as execute any javascript you want.
It also has options for analyzing css, network traffic, dom and cookies.

You can also use Sandboxie. Very simple and quick install.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easysubmit/ looks like what you are talking about for bypassing those are you human links

Hi forum.

First: if this is posted in the wrong forum-section, can someone please move it to the correct forum-section?
Thanks!

This post is all about how to safely visit faucet-lists without any chance of operating system infections.

There are three requirements:

1: a usb-device of at least 4GB.
2: a live linux distro (.iso file). (I use linux mint as example and in real life too, amongst others.)
3: unetbootin.

Assuming one has the usb-device, we can progress to the downloading of a live-linux distro.

I advice linux mint, as it is very user friendly and intuitive. You can find it there: linuxmint.com
My advice is to use the 32bit (x86) version (even on 64bit (x64) architecture),
with the KDE plasma desktop and with media support - you just might use it for other things than just visit faucets.

32 bit: linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=195

If you do prefer 64bit:
64 bit: linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=196

Then one requires unetbootin for installing the linux distro onto your usb-device and make it bootable.
Download unetbootin there: sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/
After downloading, install it.

From here the steps are:

1: Plugin the usb device.
2: Open unetbootin, click on disk image. (at the bottom, left side.)
3: Browse to the linux mint .iso file. (at the bottom, right side.)
4: Make sure the drive letter is that of your usb-device! (at the bottom, in the center.) and click OK to install onto the usb-device.

That's it. You now have a bootable live linux distro on a usb-device!

Reboot and boot the linux system.
If it won't boot, make sure the boot-order settings in the BIOS are correct,
or press some F-key when your pc starts to get into the BIOS boot menu.
Then choose: boot from usb device.

Once you're logged into your linux desktop, click the "start" button, then click system settings.
Double click firewall, check ENABLE. Now you have netfilter, the one and only proper firewall enabled.

Next, enable your network. Plug in your internet wire, or wifi dongle and choose the appropriate access point.

Click the "start" button again. Find the firefox browser and start it.
Right-click next to the first tab and enable the menu bar.
Next, in the menu-bar click edit -> preferences.
At the content tab UNCHECK block popups. (to allow popups from faucet pages.)
Lastly: DO NOT install ad-block-plus. (It's not installed by default.)

Now you're ready to visit any and all faucets while you're safe from any possible internet threats, because whatever happens,
when you reboot the usb-device / live-linux system, it will be fresh and clean like it was never used at the next bootup.

When booting from the usb-device again, repeat the steps:
1: enable firewall.
2: change browsers popup settings.
3: ransack faucet lists!

I personally use the firebug add-on for firefox to evade timers and "are you human" links, but that is another story.
If someone is interested in that too, just leave a reply specifying you want help with firebug, and i will explain how this works.
It's very handy ^^

That's it. Safe browsing for everyone.

Questions? Remarks? Complaints? Need help? Something else?

Leave a reply or send me a PM.
