URL tracker

URL Trackers is a brand new feature introduced in version 6. It allows to define URL patterns (regex) that you believe can contain interesting files to collect. The url generation and upload are performed on each cron iteration.

To create a new tracker, give it a name, an API key (from an existing user, if left empty owner key is taken), and a pattern of the form:

http://domain\.com/somefolder/thefile_(a|b|c|d){2}\.exe

The url generation engine will pick random URLs taken out of the regex, and test if they point to a file. If it’s the case, the file is downloaded locally and uploaded to the repository. Example of urls generated from the example above:

http://domain.com/somefolder/thefile_ac.exehttp://domain.com/somefolder/thefile_db.exe
