Evil Dango

Description

Evil Dango is a small Ruby application that can extract torrent tickets from ‘torrentpier’-enabled sites. It fetches a ticket with a predefined account and replaces the initial passkey with the new defined one.

Requirements

  • Ruby 1.8.6 or later

Dependencies

  • sinatra (version 0.9.4 or later)

  • mechanize (version 0.9.3 or later)

Extra Development Dependencies

  • hoe (version 2.5.0 or later)

Installation

Gem Installation

The preferred method of installation is through the Gem file. For this you will need to have RubyGems installed. You can install the application and all its dependencies with the following command:

gem install edango

Now you need to add at least one account specifications to the application configuration file. This can be done with the -a or --account flags passed with the specs to the application starter script.

edango --account "URL_REGEX, TICKET_LINK_REGEX, PASSKEY[, LOGIN:PASSWORD[, LOGIN_URL]]"

Other Installation Methods

You can clone, download or whatever else to get the application package from the github. In this case you need to use edango script directly from the bin directory and you need to resolve all application dependencies manually.

Application Usage

    edango

    You will see something similar to this:

  2. Now point you browser to 127.0.0.1:6666. Do not forget to specify the correct port provided to you by the program on the first step.
