Openbook - Connect and share whether you want to or not

http://www.youropenbook.org/ lets you search public Facebook posts, and thanks to Facebook's new privacy "features" that means most of them. I thought you guys might enjoy it. Searching for "Text me" turns up an decent amount of phone numbers.

Search New Phone NUmber turns up good stuff.

Time for some SMS fun.

Just made some prank calls lot's of fun. I hope they write about it on facebook.
P.S Shouldn't this be on the let's stalk people! board?

P.S Shouldn't this be on the let's stalk people! board?

Good point. I kinda posted it in a rush as I was out the door...

[rogueclown]

i found another site along those lines:

http://www.tomscott.com/evil/

it XXX-es out the last few digits of the phone numbers, but the numbers are easy enough to find.  hell, it gives you the google search right there...search facebook for any of those "lost phone number" groups, and you have an almost endless fountain of people to prank-call.

[thefinn93]

I bet it would be really easy to write something like that but without the Xs. it could even have the numbers link to a skype call link or something... the possibilities are endless.

[nyphonejacks]

that would be pretty awesome... setting up a completely automated prank calling system, that would mine the numbers like this site is doing, add them to skype, or into asterisk and call them all... and tell them that there auto warranty was about to expire...

Is anyone here any good with regular expressions? I'm writing this but apparently suck at regular expressions (I've never used them before really). I need something that will match messages with phone numbers in them. I found one on some site that only matched for two area codes (I managed to modify it to match any area code), but that will only match if the message is *just* the phone number, no preceding or following text. At the moment I have the following, which has been returning a lot of false positives with actual live Facebook data:

Code: [Select]

^.*(\()?([0-9]{3})(\)|-|.)?([0-9]{3})(-|.)?([0-9]{4}|[0-9]{4}).*$

[thefinn93]

it XXX-es out the last few digits of the phone numbers, but the numbers are easy enough to find.

If you use firebug you can go into the source and change the variable "onlyMildlyEvil" to false, then it won't XXX them out. I'm working on a greasemonkey script to do this with ease for those who don't want to/don't know how to do this. I'll post it here when I get it working (or more likely I'll give up and do something totally unrelated)

http://thefinn93.com/facebook/pn/tomscott.php - i just copied his code and got rid of the bit that adds the XXXs

For Greasemonkey:

Code: [Select]

// ==UserScript==
// @name           More Evil
// @namespace      http://phonelosers.org/
// @include        http://www.tomscott.com/evil/
// ==/UserScript==

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.innerHTML = 'function parseNumber(num) { return num; }';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

It bypasses the number parsing altogether, though, so it doesn't give nicely formatted numbers like usual.

Here is a longer version that parses the numbers:

Code: [Select]

// ==UserScript==
// @name           More Evil
// @namespace      http://phonelosers.org/
// @include        http://www.tomscott.com/evil/
// ==/UserScript==

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.innerHTML = 'function parseNumber(num) {         \
  var digits = num.toString().replace(/[^0-9]/g, \'\'); \
  var parsed = \'\';                                    \
  if (digits.match(/^0[127]\\d{9}$/)) {                 \
    parsed += \'(\' + digits.substr(0,5) + \') \';      \
    parsed += digits.substr(6);                         \
  }                                                     \
  if (digits.match(/^[2-9]\\d{9}$/)) {                  \
    parsed += \'(\' + digits.substr(0,3) + \') \';      \
    parsed += digits.substr(3,3) + \'-\';               \
    parsed += digits.substr(6);                         \
  }                                                     \
  if (parsed.length == 0) { parsed = num; }             \
  return parsed;                                        \
}';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

That doesn't seem to work... I just installed it and it did nothing.

Neither of them? The second one is exactly what I am using right now in Greasemonkey in Firefox 3.6.3 and I am getting the full numbers. I even deleted my existing copy, and reinstalled it by copying what I posted, and is working.

Are you sure Greasemonkey and the script are enabled and "http://www.tomscott.com/evil/" is in the Included Pages for the script?

BTW, it is now available at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/77452

[thefinn93]

I tried the second one, but I was runnng Firefox 3.5.9. I'm updating now.

EDIT: it still doesn't work

Here is a Perl script that allows mass collection of phone numbers from public Facebook groups. It needs an API token to work. If you don't want to get your own, you can just use the one from Tom Scott's page. Just view the source for the page and look for the line starting with "var token = ". It will output a tab-delimited list of Facebook IDs, names, and phone numbers.

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use warnings;
use strict;
use JSON;
use LWP::Simple;

my $access_token = 'Replace with a valid access token for the Facebook Graph API.';
my $search_query = 'lost "need numbers"';

my $fetch_delay = 1;
my $group_limit = 1000;

my $us_phone_regex = '1?\s*\W?\s*([2-9][0-8][0-9])\s*\W?\s*([2-9][0-9]{2})\s*\W?\s*([0-9]{4})+';

my $json = new JSON;

my $content = get 'https://graph.facebook.com/search?limit=' . $group_limit . '&q=' . $search_query . '&type=group&access_token=' . $access_token;
my $groups = $json->allow_nonref->utf8->relaxed->escape_slash->loose->allow_singlequote->allow_barekey->decode($content);

foreach my $group(@{$groups->{data}}) {

 sleep $fetch_delay;
 my $content = get 'https://graph.facebook.com/' . $group->{id} . '/feed?access_token=' . $access_token;
 my $posts = $json->allow_nonref->utf8->relaxed->escape_slash->loose->allow_singlequote->allow_barekey->decode($content);

 foreach my $post(@{$posts->{data}}) {
  if($post->{message} =~ /$us_phone_regex/) {
   print "$post->{from}->{id}\t$post->{from}->{name}\t($1) $2-$3\n";
  }
 }

}

It took no more than 15 minutes to collect 8000 numbers.
