Adplexity Lander Ripping (5)

Adplexity Lander Ripping

Hey guys,

as you all know adplexity offers the possibility to download landers. Now, I read those often have scripts inserted to redirect traffic. How can I make sure they aren't on the ripped lander? Or should I just invest and let a freelancer create a copy since I am not able to code and also dont necessarily want to learn it now.

Any help would be appreciated !

Not being a tech person myself, I'd just recommend to get a copy coded by some freelancer. Who knows, maybe the freelancer can make some improvements to the lander in terms of coding and loading time as a side effect of making sure no obfuscated scripts are left in there.

The time and effort spent on trying to identify malicious code myself wouldn't justify the costs of hiring a freelancer and getting the lander done from scratch.

I would suggest learning some of the basis if you're just starting out. It's always good to have a good idea what you're paying for when hiring someone as well as good to check some basic stuff when you get the work delivered.

As for the standard libraries, updating the links to the standard public ones would save you time and improve lander loading time since most of them are cached in prospect's browser.

Learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript will be good investment for your AM career. It's not hard, seriously if all you need is to be able clean ripped lander you will be doing fine with basic.

Another thing is you don't want to waste time call your freelancer every time you need to change something.

Few tips for you:

  1. If your ripped lander using jquery. Try replacing it with the official one and see if it break the lander. If your lander break then probably there is something shady in that jquery. Fine other similiar lander.
  2. If your lander use other javascript (very common) try deleting it and see if it break the lander. If it break the lander, there is nothing much you can do unless you know javascript.
  3. Open your text editor and Find : window.screen . This is probably script that will redirect you based on screen size to hide the lander. Remove it from the <script> .... window.screen ....</script>
  4. Open your text editor and Find : location . This one is used redirect / backbutton script. Change it.
  5. Open your text editor and Find : href . This one to find link, mostly tracker link.
  6. Open your text editor and Find : getURLParameter . If you find it then it's used for Voluum token, read this.
  7. Open your text editor and Find : src= . It's used to "linked" image or script path.


That all i can think for now, hope that help you.

Javascript is super easy to learn -- and it's a great language to learn some coding in general. IMO now some coding skills is necessary no matter what you work with, since most work is computer based and most of us spend too much time on repetitive tasks. It's also the language used in Google Apps Scripts, and modern web development like Node JS, and frontend frameworks. That's a sidenote.

I recommend you install a coding editor like Sublime. Then you can just comment out the javascript and other mysterious code using cmd+ / or similar (that's for mac). Then see what breaks. HTML and CSS can't do anything too scary on their own -- but JS can do a lot of fuckery with your lander, redirects, swapping out links etc. You will see at most landers you can delete 90% of the JS, and you won't notice.
