digip Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 There is a site called iLike that lets you install a plugin to your iTunes program, supposedly to make socializing with friends and sharing playlists easier. They also let you sample free music in the form of Flash FLV files on their site. Knowking the loopholes in flash that have allowed me to rip the mp3's right out of the files from places like MySpace and Pandora, etc, I decided to poke aroudn with their site a little. What I found out is that you can save the flv files to your dekstop and extract the mp3 form the file very easily. Almost too easily. What you will need is Wireshark and Media Player Classic (COmes bundled with Quick Time Alternative if you cant find it). Load Wireshark and have it start capturing on your NIC. Then navigate to www.ilike.com Click on a play button for any file that says "Full song" (these are the flash ones. The mp3 downloaded ones are already there for the taking so wer ento going to discuss them) You will hear the song start playing pretty much right away. Go back to Wireshark and look through for anything ending in .flv and follow the tcp ip stream in wireshark. This is the actual FLV file and the http reques tin the packets. You should see something like this at the top of the packet: GET /s/0000/142/0000142083.flv HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Opera/9.26 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Host: c.ilike.com Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1, utf-8, utf-16, *;q=0.1 Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, identity, *;q=0 Connection: Keep-Alive Copy the host and the get parm into a URL. EX: "http://c.ilike.com/s/0000/142/0000142083.flv" and plug it into your browser and it should spit you the file to download. Now the fun part. Open Media Player Classic and drag or open the file into the program and you will hear the audio start playing. Click File, Utils, DSM Converter, and drag the flv file into the white window. Right click on the Tree icon that says "AUDIO" and click Demux. It will prompt you to save the MP3 file out of the FLV download. Enjoy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicatronTg Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Interesting... Heres the hard part, create a clone of pandora's Jar for this :-D :shock: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natural_orange Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 i never thought of that, but this would be a good way to get like the name of .flv files in other players like ABC or Foxes online player, assuming that they are not encrpyting them.

Rain Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Nifty i think i may begin using this and trying that. What do you use to convert Mp4 to MP3? so far fair tunes is working for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Nifty i think i may begin using this and trying that. What do you use to convert Mp4 to MP3? so far fair tunes is working for me. If you have quicktime pro, you can export it to many different formats. May have to jumo through hoops, like dump it to avi and then extract the audio and then make an mp3 out of the audio stream(or there may be an mp3 option from videos by default, I forget) but I have Quicktime 7 pro on my XP64 bit side and it dumps them to any format pretty easily.

DLSS Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 instead of wireshark you could just use firefox + tamper data (less system intensive and it'll do the job) anyway nice find :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensor Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 tamper data.. I thought you made a typo.. but it is indeed a great plugin! It works like a charm:D Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
