Open Directory Gallery Tool

[johnnylongboard]

INTRO
I've been lurking a bit having fun exploring open directories. I started getting frustrated trying to find wins in big directories. There is a tool out there that will turn an open dir into a gallery (https://opendirviewer.net/) but every url I submitted, it returned an error saying it wasn't an open directory.

I cobbled together my own PHP tool that will create a gallery out of an open directory and I am going to share it here. The tool is pretty simple... it downloads the url as text and strips all href links. It then scans each link text to see if it is an image. For all links that are images, it will display a thumbnail of that image. If you use Firefox you can right click the thumbnail and open the full size image in a new tab.

SETUP
To run this locally you will need to install PHP. ezPHP is the easiest way I have found to do that (https://github.com/marcomilon/ezphp).

You will then need to go to your install location and edit php.ini. Next find the following line and remove the semicolon:

;extension=php_openssl.dll

Save the file and you are all set with configuration.

Next copy the source code text below into notepad and save the file as "index.php" in the public_html directory of your PHP installation.

USAGE
Run PHP (the ezPHP executable will do this for you). The window will say something like "Open your browser to " and a URL. Copy that URL in your browser and you should see an input box. Paste in the open directory (make sure it ends in a / character. If there is anything after the last / remove it before submitting). Hit submit.

You will then see your gallery.

IMPROVEMENTS
I have a few ideas to improve the tool if anyone has the ability or desire to contribute.

1. Host file on a server for all to use
2. Better yet set up a TOR onion hosting the file (target hosts will see traffic from IP page is hosted on)
3. Figure out a way to show thumbnails of video file types

KNOWN ISSUES
Some sites will block traffic based on the referrer. I tried spoofing the referrer but couldn't bypass the site security. This was only a problem with one site so far.
