Replacing Adverts with family pictures

Post by MagicJacked »

Using Fiddler I have blocked the adds on the left.
The next step is to use the ad space to display my pictures of the kids! lol
I don't really mind the adds, but I don't like them/it changing every 60 seconds!
And I don't plan to run fiddler all the time. Just playing around.

I was thinking the same thing but have not played around with doing it yet. It is a static IP so it is a bit harder to do it than a hosts file entry.

It can be done with fiddler.

I can also redirect it at my firewall (I think). I know I can port forward in-bound. Never tried forwarding out-bound.

You can also just block the ads with this command:
route add 67.106.133.212 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.193

Where 192.168.0.193 is your IP address from ipconfig.

Fiddler to remove 'ads'...

Yes, you can easily replace the AD URL using fiddler. Watch the little tutorial video labeled Simple Request Tampering, and apply the same techniques to the MagicJack.

You could use this technique to do a lot of other things - Change your sip credentials, prevent your softphone from updating, etc, etc, etc. Use your imagination, and get creative.

It is important to note, that while the softphone does display some 'Ads' in that portion of the softphone, that is NOT how MagicJack intends to push ads out to their customers. Dan Borislow mentioned over at DSLReports that magicPage is not out yet, but that will be the real adware...

removing adverts

Post by canuckken »

Can someone post simple instructions for removing those adverts for those of us that are not as computer save. I would like to have that space for a notepad or pictures but would settle for an empty space. I downloaded fiddler 2 but not sure what to do with it.

I put this line in my hosts file:
192.168.0.1 render.talk4free.com

That points it to my home web server. I never did bother to do anything else, so I just get an error in the window.

You could also do this if you are happy with an error:
127.0.0.1 render.talk4free.com

I start MJ as a different user, so I never see anything!

It is requesting this file:
http://render.talk4free.com/msgs/rotate2.html

And the file looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<magicJackBanner>
<refresh>
<meta>

<script>
<!--

//change these ones:
var Pages = [
["ad_voicemail.html",600],
["international/international.html",600]
];

var RotationInterval = Pages[0][1]; //milliseconds


var index = 0; //stores current ad page index
var iframe1 = null; //refence to the iframe
var WinId = 0;
window.onload = function()
{
//get a reference to the iframe:
iframe1 = document.getElementById("iframe1");

//set the initial page:
iframe1.src = Pages[0][0];

//change the source of the iframe every RotationInterval milliseconds:
WinId = window.setInterval(rotate, RotationInterval*1000);
}

function rotate()
{
if(index <Pages>
</script>

</head>
<body>
<magicJackBanner>
<iframe id="iframe1" frameborder="no" height="100%" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="iframe1" noresize="noResize" scrolling="no" width="100%">

</iframe>
</body>
</html>

(I run MJ exclusively on an old laptop with the lid down most of the time anyway. Sometimes I forget the phone's not a real phone line.)

Does that only work with HTTP requests, or could it be used to route the proxy ip address to a different proxy ip address?
