Ever wanted your own IP Grabber? Well look no further!

@TheDrone7 thank you

Would you know how to, theoretically program a virus that rickrolled you and only got removed from the PC once you typed "Never Gonna Give You Up" ? (I would not use it for malicious purposes, only pranks, lol) @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds I haven't tested it out, as I'm not at home, but in theory this should work. The only requirements are the python libraries (pynput, pafy, and vlc) and the VLC Media Player.

Resources I used to make this:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49354232/how-to-stream-audio-from-a-youtube-url-in-python-without-download
• https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/keyboard.html

ummm...XD doesn't work @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds uhhh, seems to work for me. Can you take a screenshot or provide more information?

gave error codes @MarcusWeinberger

Try one of the following resolutions:

• Please make sure that you have an X server running, and that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly

@HyperGamerStuds ohh, sorry, i forgot you meant the "virus". it wont run on replit, you'll have to run it maybe from the python IDLE on your local windows machine

oh, lol @MarcusWeinberger

can u perhaps help me design a working account feature that requires an account setup/signin for this repl? To force people to register an account before playing? https://repl.it/talk/share/Repl-Games-Repository/58876 @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds I'm afraid I can't do it for you, but I'm working on dupl auth at the moment, it's fairly simple but I haven't written any documentation.

Here is a simple demo reel, as an example

is it a working system? @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds Fully working, very simple, though.

So it stores sign up data? Nice @MarcusWeinberger

I might have to use that! @MarcusWeinberger

OMG IT WORKS WHEN IMPLEMENTED TO MY REPL THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! @MarcusWeinberger

Wat does the code for the .env file look like? (I can't see the .env file) @MarcusWeinberger

I wanna know bc I wanna make my own version/server but can't do that without knowing the code for the .env files @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds ayyyy! I'm glad!

@HyperGamerStuds it has 4 variables, FLASK_SECRET which can be anything, it's the secret_key for your flask app.

• DB_HOST
• DB_USER
• DB_PASS

These are the connection details for a MySQL database. You can just use this instead of the db.py file if you want to use an SQLite DB in repldb, but it's better to find a mysql server. I use heliohost.org

Oi, could u copy and paste the code to me? @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds sure, but I have to omit the values:

FLASK_SECRET=XXXXXXXX
DB_HOST=XXX.XXX
DB_USER=XXXX
DB_PASS=XXXXXXXXX

ah, so those are the database passwords? And they have to be defined? @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds yes, as does the flask_secret. the flask_secret can be anything, usually I just write a random thought in my head (eg: manthisreplisreallycoolihopeicangetitworking). it's used to encrypt the session data or something.

the db info has to be for a real database. and in db.py you'll need to change the default database

XD I am unable to set up a MYSQL server sadly :( My school email address cannot be used to verify accounts apparently :( @MarcusWeinberger

https://repl.it/talk/share/Repl-Games-Repository/58876 @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds yeah it's effort to set up a mysql server, but i know heliohost has some free options. And what do you mean about your school email address and verifying accounts?

I only have a school email address, lol, and it doesn't receive account verification emails @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds ohhh, right. well i made repl.email, it hasn't been updated in a bit but you can get the email address [email protected] by linking your repl.it account!

wait rly? noice, so it would work to confirm an account? @MarcusWeinberger

um, nope, it doesn't work XD @MarcusWeinberger

oof, ya, doesn't let me, can u set up a server 4 me then give me the info thru repl.email? @MarcusWeinberger

OH NO, THIS DUDE WANTS ME TO DROWN JOE'S CAT IN FRONT OF MY MOM!! @MarcusWeinberger

@HyperGamerStuds yep should do

@HyperGamerStuds sorry, i can't help with that, i'm already using the one free server i get

@MarcusWeinberger as @TheDrone7 said, this is not a ToS violation, sorry for the confusion.

@CodeLongAndPros no problem, I understand. I was unsure myself lmao

@RayhanADev IP grabbing isn't illegal as long as it's not used for illegal purposes.

@RayhanADev I don't think it's illegal...

@DynamicSquid @realTronsi okay, well lemme pitch it this way. Bluntly, Repl.it has a wide audience, and not all are the best of people. Say someone posts some sort of amazing game as a front and grabs peoples IPs with this for DDoS. What have you to say to that?

@RayhanADev well ip grabbing isn't harmful. If someone was using this to assist in DDoS, it is their poor choice of actions. DDoSing is also used for pentesting, hence the many available DDoS applications online, which aren't illegal, despite DDoSing without permission being illegal

@RayhanADev Sorry but the intentions of this project is not to promote illegal activity. If you believe someone is using this tool against the TOS, please report them to the mods.

@HarperframeInc sigh alright. Since everyone disagrees with me then it’s cool.

@RayhanADev However it's okay to check with a moderator. If you want to do that, that's fine! (I'm not even sure if this is or isn't against TOS)

this code itself is not against ToS but if someone forked it for illegal use then theirs would be. @RayhanADev

@RayhanADev I'd bet my money that it is.

@RayhanADev this demonstrates the dangers of clicking random links. it shouldn't be a violation of Repl's ToS, because I guarantee you that the majority of websites you visit log a lot more data than this

@CSharpIsGud bet >;)

@MarcusWeinberger Yeah they do, except they are usually somewhat known websites that would be easily held accountable if they did anything super bad with it, compared to some random person on the internet.

@CSharpIsGud Anyone can create their own website, a static page hosted on netlify, a full grabber on heroku. There are hundreds of IP Grabber templates and projects on GitHub. There is nothing illegal about them

@MarcusWeinberger Yeah that's true, though the tos of replit could still have something against them either way.
Most people these days should have dynamic ips anyway.
