is using imacros detectable?
hi, i wanted to use imacros to fill out applications automatically. but the website that i want to use imacros on doesnt allow any use of scripts or bots. so i was just wondering if theres any way they can detect my use of imacros?
Re: is using imacros detectable?
hi,
imacros has its own user string so its detectable, but you can change that in options and make imacros look like internet explorer
regards,
cool

Use a external proxy program to change you user agent.vule2042 wrote:do you know any other programs similar to imacros but arent detectable?
Example: First lookup Proxy and socks at wikipedia so you understand what it is, then download and install one of the following: privoxy.org or proxomitron.info
Last go to google or search at their site for scripts that changes user agent.
But, every automatic process can be detected as non-human. Its all depends on how much the site-owner wants bot to be destroyed. For an example there could be javascript that looks for patterns that is very likely bots and ban that session/or IP w/or without cookies. I assume you know about "CLEAR" command and cookies.
