[PATCH] Custom Site Support fixed in latest version

For about a year or more, custom site support was broken in the latest version. Today I have finally pushed a patch to fix it. Please enjoy using the latest version now with all the other improved benefits! :)

Farewell OGCheckr, Hello Penguin!

This is the final release of OGCheckr CLI in its current state. My future efforts will be put towards the Penguin API platform and client applications.

• Re-wrote the configuration helper class to recognize non-standard config values such as yes/no instead of true/false.
• Configuration values are no longer case sensitive
• Shortened filename of main script to og.py

The Bug Expedition!

Phew, has it really been FOUR MONTHS since the last update? Sorry about that, but life has got in the way ya know? Anyhow, I got a bunch of big bug fixes and a little surprise thrown in as well as a thank you for your continued support!

New Features

• Added the ability to disable proxy filtering. This was the most requested feature and now it's finally here!
• Added support for SOCKS proxies. No need to do anything special, just put them in your proxy list as any other proxy.
• Added Giphy channel support

Fixes & Optimizations

• Completely re-wrote the broken proxy integration and filtering system
• Removed and consolidated some of the files in the libs/ directory

So you may be wondering about what's on the agenda for 2018, so I'll share some of the top secret plans here. Shhhhh!

• The OGCheckr REST API was released in alpha last month and will lay the foundation for future OGCheckr applications.
• A native Windows GUI application is currently being developed by Lexii#1337 and will be the first application to use the new REST API.
• A native mobile application for iOS and Android is currently in the planning stage.

Remember if you enjoy this update, please leave a new rating and review on the respective forum you downloaded it from!

[PATCH] Bug Fixes

Squashed some bugs...

The Glorious Update!

The time has come for another update to the best bulk social media checker available! In reality, not so much changed, but what changed makes a very significant difference when using proxies. The application now includes 100% automatic proxy checking and filtering, so there's no need to check your proxies anymore, just paste the list into proxies.txt and you are ready to roll again and again!

And in an unexpected twist, official INSTAGRAM support has been re-added as well as Pastebin.com for all you nerds into that... However, be warned, Pastebin shouldn't be checked without proxies as they are strict about banning your IP for too many requests.

The run-down

• Implemented proxy checker and filtering system
• Re-implemented Instagram support
• Added Pastebin user support

[PATCH] Custom Site Fix

In this patch release, I fixed the issue with checking custom sites.
Remember, if a site doesn't work with the customSite config option, it requires specialized support. Open up an issue on our Github repo to request support for that specific site.

The Lightning Update!

The Lightning Update!

This update was all about increasing the overall efficiency and maintainability of the application by modularizing the entire application.

The Good

• Multi-threaded architecture for checking word lists X times as fast as before (only limited by your computer's processor)
• Modularization for easier contributing (remember, OGCheckr CLI is open-source 😉)
• Cleaned up the word_lists directory because most of them were overused and worthless by now.
• Cleaned up the proxy_lists directory because the included proxies were no longer available.
• Added comments to the .gitignore file to explain why certain files are not included in the repository.
• Renamed the main script file to OGCheckr.py for consistency with the resource.

The Bad

• Instagram support still hasn't been re-implemented 😞 (trust me guys, I'm working on it!)

And the Ugly

• Temporarily removed the optional command-line arguments, but they will be added back in the next update hopefully.

Remember to give the resource a 5-star review on MCM and SpigotMC.

Removed Instagram Support

I'm deeply saddened that it has come to this, but Instagram is being stubborn and the endpoint I was using does not work reliability. I thought I found a replacement and after implementing it, still wasn't very reliable. Thus, at this time, I figured it is best to classify it as officially unsupported.

Some good news, I updated the domain matching regex pattern to show the actual name of the service for all sites instead of just api or passport. Should lead to less confusion! 🙂

[PATCH] Critical Bug Fix

Oopsy, I pushed out another faulty update yesterday! This update fixes the following bug by rolling back the placeholder change in the last release. You will continue to use %%word%% as the placeholder for custom sites.

In other news, I have implemented a proxy checker that automatically checks if a proxy is valid before using it and if it is down, it picks another proxy from your list automatically!

For those with a low budget, I have included a couple of sample proxy lists for you to use. At the time of this release, all of them are working, but they may stop working at any time.

Minor Adjustments

• Added proxy support for Instagram, but probably will still return 504 either way
• Changed placeholder variable for custom sites to %s (for reasons that laymen wouldn't understand)
