Re: How to create your own Xapo bitcoin faucet
by
FaucetBuilder
on 24/08/2015, 20:13:39 UTC
Hello I am the creator of FaucetBuilder and script. The email destbogan@gmail.com belongs to me.

Originally I built the script with a 1% fee to cover my time for building this. I published it and had a few friends testing it. This was before faucetbuilder.com existed and was live.

The main feedback from the guys testing it was that 1% flat-fee is not the right way since the APIs were not built by me (they are originally Xapo). So, I took the 1% fee out and launched faucetbuilder.com for free and took btc donations.

I want to clarify that yes my original plan was to charge a fee. But I removed this fee before my script and website (faucetbuilder.com) was officially launched. I am not sure how the script with 1% fee is being circulated since I dont promote on any of my links on bitcointalk or website.

!The script on faucetbuilder.com does not have a fee!


My wallet destbogan@gmail.com has 800 bits (~$0.18) and not much. If you are using the original script with the fee email me and I will return your funds. I am trying to do honest business.

Ok Guys, I read some disturbing posts about security in this thread and I want to ask final question: is this script legit and free of any malicious code?
I can use it freely without worrying about backdoor or other scammy shit in it? There are no exploits anymore, or you guys just don't find any?

We have fixed the backdoor issues and are constantly stress testing it to check for any other issues. The most updated script can be downloaded from the website (the one with all the fixes).

Wow what a nice Intention from FaucetBuilder. I am still at work so I coudn`t test your skript till now but I can`t wait to do so when I am back home. I´ve been looking for something like this the last weeks. Things like your free skript really help the new guys round here. And another big thx to szgal for pointing out the potential backdoor in the skript and sharing it with the community instead of collecting all the satoshis with this little dirty trick  Wink. Guys like you make me feel really comfortable in this Forum.

First of all definitely agree on our good guy /u/szgal. You da real MVP!

Second, if you test it and like please help us by sharing it! So far I have only really promoted it on bitcointalk and to a few friends building faucets.

Is this better that faucetbox.com
Plz tell i want to make a faucet
On my dimain Abitcoin.net
And i am out of funds too.
Plz tell if this script is better than faucet box or not
Regards


Yes it's like faucetbox but better. You can pay to email or btc address and if users use Xapo (which I've seen many of the bigger faucets using) they are paid automatically even if it's 1 satoshi. The best part is that we are free. We dont charge anything for you to use this service, I believe Faucetbox charges 3% of all your funds.

You can earn a lot more by doing mechanical turk than by clicking on faucets, and they both take the same amount of skill and effort.

Bitcoin faucets are like free food. People will do anything for "free" food.

Do you know if there are any mechanical turk sites that pay in bitcoin?

This is no doubt one of the best faucet script out there after the fixing of the bug however I am not interested in using xapo for my faucet account is there any way to integrate any other payment gateway.

Thanks for the nice words. I'm working hard on this (when i have time) Smiley

If you dont want to use Xapo what other option would you like to see? The reason I chose Xapo is because they are very well known in the faucet world especially non-English places. They seem to have the APIs we'd need to do this, allow to pay to email or btc address, and they cover all your miner fees so you dont need to pay for that. Am i missing something?

If you have a better option I can look but so far most of the guys using my script are happy with them.

I double-checked, and in my opinion this backdoor is fully intentional.
...strip...

The intention was not to take advantage of a backdoor. Instead it was a silly mistake meant to give the option for the admin to not have to relogin everytime.
It has already been fixed and can be checked by faucet owner on the script.

As I mentioned in the first post this has been done as a hobby and service is meant to be free. You can now check that it has been fixed.
Thank you for bringing this up. My intention is to make honest business and help new faucet creators.

I can confirm that the "remember" cookie bug is fixed. Thank you for acting so fast. I thought it's intentional because in the initial commit (https://github.com/destinybogan/Faucet-Builder/commit/49e11c91812d020b677fe791faffb06e27da706c), there's no setcookie("remember"). This means you either wanted to write some code that sets the cookie but then forgot about it, or you backdoored the script and put a "remember me" checkbox to make it less suspicious. Sorry for accusing you if the former is the case.

By the way, this script still has a security vulnerability which allows full write access to the database for everyone who can log in as admin.

I appreciate the feedback and making note of these things. As I said I am doing my best (with the resources I have) to make a good and honest business. I will continue to update these things as fast as I can and am on to the extra database issue you mentioned.

Cheers dezoel!

He checks if the cookie called "remember" exists, but that cookie is not set anywhere.
This means that the script expects that a human will set that cookie manually, because manually setting it is the only way it can exist.

The intention was not to take advantage of a backdoor. Instead it was a silly mistake meant to give the option for the admin to not have to relogin everytime.

If a dev can check again if there's a no more backdoor that would be great.
I like how it has a Filipino language pack though. Good luck!

Hope you don't scam anybody with this service.

I can confirm the script has been fixed. As I mentioned in the first post this has been done as a hobby to help guys who want to create faucets for free.
It is true that the remember cookie created a vulnerability but this was stupid mistake by me. I did it initially so that the admin did not have to keep logging in. But this has been brought up and fixed.

I have tried to be as open as possible and fix issues like this ASAP. Anyone with dev background can check the fix and see that the vulnerability have been removed.

I hope you enjoy the script and thanks for trying it out!

DO NOT USE THIS SCRIPT!!!
This script has a backdoor!!!
On this page: https://github.com/destinybogan/Faucet-Builder/blob/master/admin/index.php
The code contains:
Code:
if(isset($_COOKIE['remember'])){
  $_SESSION['admin']=true;
}

This means that if I set a cookie with the name "remember", I AM THE ADMIN!
Hackers can set cookies because they are stored client-side and sent to the server in an HTTP header!

You may think that because it only shows the last four characters of your Xapo key, you are safe.
But a hacker could increase the referral payout to something insanely high, disable the timeout, take the SolveMedia key and run a bot until all the coins are gone.

So do not use this script!



Thanks for advice .....     Hmmm  I'm wondering now:         How many faucets does have it?

I have very few faucets using.. less than 20. I will make the changes ASAP to restore this.
Thank for bringing this up

Do any of you guys know websites in Russia that are active in promoting bitcoin services?
I see many Russians on my site. Would love to focus there to see if I can get some traction.

Or do you have any suggestions on how to get more traction? Im thinking maybe spending some ad $ on btc ad services.

thanks for the script, I have made my faucet at http://sumbercoin.hol.es/ Cheesy

Awesome! I just made 2400 sat. Looks good and thanks for trying it out.
My next move if activity starts to pick up is to work on new design templates. What do you think? If you have some cool faucets that you think have nice designs let me know and i can model them after that.
