cookie.js

Description

• summary: cookie.js is used to get cookie from one of most popular browsers, Chrome. This small library is based on some modules:
  • request: a module for post request.
  • sqlite3: a module for accessing databases from Chrome.
  • crypto: a module for decrypting encryped values from the database, Cookies of Chrome. (reserved module, which is not neeed)
  • chrome-cookies-secure: a module for extracting encrypted Google Chrome Cookies for a url on Mac OS X or Linus. (more details on https://github.com/bertrandom/chrome-cookies-secure)
• license: MIT

Install the module first

• the version of npm: v1.3.24
• the version of node: v0.10.25

# if it's failed to install modules, please install your node and npm as the same version of mine
npm install request
npm install sqlite3
npm install crypto
npm install chrome-cookies-secure

How does it works? (eg. generate SOHUSVP)

• 1. require the library

// generate.js
var cookieJs = require('./../cookie.js');

• 2. initiate some parameters
  • home: the home directory(pwd ~ in Linux)
  • chrome: the configurations directory of Chrome(In general, {$home}/.config/google-chrome/Default/ in Linux)
  • cookies: the Cookies file under the directory chrome

// generate.js
home = '/home/aleen42/';
chrome = home + '.config/google-chrome/Default/';
cookies = chrome + 'Cookies';

• 3. call methods getCookie(url, callback)
  • if you want to post data, here we can see a method storeData(postURL, postData, callback)

// generate.js
cookieJs.cookie.getCookie('http://m.tv.sohu.com/v2291501.shtml?src=11310001&ptag=vsogou', function(cookies) {
	console.log(cookies.SOHUSVP);
	cookieJs.cookie.storeData('https://video.soundtooth.cn/play/updateSOHUSVP/', {svp: cookies.SOHUSVP}, function(data) {
	})
});

• 4. use a shell script to generate Cookies at the fixed time
  • generate.sh in the directory, generateSOHUSVP, is a shell script used to generate a cookie, SOHUSVP, cause it's hard to generate.
  • chrome: the path of executable file google-chrome
  • url: the url of sohu

# generate.sh
# open the chrome to access the url
`$chrome $url`
# sleep 10 seconds to load all cookies when accessing some website
sleep 10
# get cookie from Chrome
echo `$node /home/aleen42/testsohu/cookie.js/generateSOHUSVP/generate.js`

• 5. execute crontab -e to run the shell each hour

# crontb -e
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
# 
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
# 
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').# 
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
# 
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
# 
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
# 
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
# 
# m h  dom mon dow   command
29 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && google-chrome
30 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /bin/sh /home/aleen42/testsohu/cookie.js/generateSOHUSVP/generate.sh >> /home/aleen42/testsohu/cookie.js/log/output.log 2>&1 && /bin/sh /home/aleen42/testsohu/cookie.js/killChrome.sh >> /home/aleen42/testsohu/cookie.js/log/output.log 2>&1

• notice: open your Chrome before running the script
