Was searching for how to do an AIM Bot in Ruby tonight. Screwed around a bit with ROscar and Raimbot. But the light at the end of the tunnel is here: Net::TOC.
gem install -r net-tocExample bot.rb:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
require 'rubygems' require 'net/toc' # "aimbot99" needs to be a real AIM username, get one at aim.aol.com Net::TOC.new("aimbot99", "mypass") do |msg, buddy| buddy.send_im("You said: #{msg}") end |
Run:
~/dev/aim-bot $ ruby bot.rbYeah, you can take it from there :)
And now you’re on the front page of programming.reddit.com for the second time in two weeks.
im in yer readerz, hijakin yur reddits
But yeah, seriously, that bot is stupid easy, I couldn’t believe it when it worked
do you know some similar bot for Yahoo Messenger ?
Or what about an irc bot too?
crap, receiving “Server didn’t send full header. (Net::TOC::CommunicationError)”.
I guess it’s because of the router. Looking in the source of Net::TOC I see it’s using port 9898 so I tried mapping this port but it’s still not working.
Any ideas?
zomg.
Way, way, WAY too easy.
This seriously fucks with my “programmer’s superiority complex” – My dog could code that.
Its not way too easy, thats what well written libraries are supposed to deliver – it could be almost that short in C if you had the right lib. Here are the Perl and Python equivalents: http://search.cpan.org/~aryeh/Net-AIM-1.22/AIM.pm http://www.jamwt.com/Py-TOC/
Looks like a cool library. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get this to work talking to a .mac ichat account. As anyone had any luck with this or know whats different about the ichat aim implementation that would cause it to not be able to receive messages?
hmmm how about docu?
I refuse to touch ANY ruby lib that comes without sufficient docu…
she—the docs are in RDoc. I found them easy to understand.
This is a great library. I have used it to send messages to an Arduino using ruby to listen to AIM and then send messages over a serial connection, again using ruby, to the Arduino and then display the message on an LCD and control various external devices. Much fun.
Ben—that’s pretty cool!
that was hella easy. nice!
does not work, just sits there like it’s waiting for a timeout or something, going on 5 minutes now
Awesome :) just wish there was a way to set a buddy icon
require ‘rubygems’ require ‘net/toc’ require ‘lolspeak’
Net::TOC.new(“name”, “pass”) do |msg, buddy| buddy.send_im(msg.to_lolspeak) puts ”#{buddy} said \”#{msg}\”” end

require ‘rubygems’ require ‘net/toc’

client = Net::TOC.new(user,password)
client.connect client.wait
Sorry, last post was garbagey -
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘net/toc’
user=’buddy’
password=’password’
msg=ARGV [ 0 ] .to_s.gsub(’\n’,”\n”)
client = Net::TOC.new(user,password)
client.connect
client.wait
@jp – I had a similar error, was due to the screenname I was using being temporailry disabled. That was probably because I’d run the script lots while playing about with net-toc!
That is way, way too easy.
