#The following code is from 'Engineer Man's' YouTube video titled 'Showing a Craigslist scammer who's boss using Python'
import requests
import os
import random
import string
import json

#Character list for password creation and a random seed to initialize the number generation
chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + '!@#%^&()'
random.seed = (os.urandom(1024))

#Enter the .php address to send the e-mail addresses below
url = ''

#Loads the file with the list of names
names = json.loads(open('names.json').read())

#Engineer Man's for loop to generate and send the fake usernames and passwords to the scammer
for name in names:
    
    #The below line creates random numbers to add to the e-mail address
    name_extra = ''.join(random.choice(string.digits))
    
    #The below line accesses a random name from the list and adds random numbers and a domain address to create an email address
    username = name.lower() + name_extra + '@yahoo.com'
    
    #The following line generates a password comprised of random characters
    password = ''.join(random.choice(chars) for i in range(8))
    
    #This line sends the generated name and passowrd to the phising site
    #The 'allow_redirects = False' Parameter prevents us from being redirected to the actual craigslist page
    requests.post(url, allow_redirects = False, data = {
        
        #Enter the form data codes below to send the e-mail addresses
        '': username
        '': password
        
    })

    
    #The following code prints the generated e-mail and password being sent
    #An example combination is 'liam0@yahoo.com'
    print 'sending username %s and password %s' % (username, password)
