Version 2.4.1

YCC Yahoo! Bot Maker is a program designed to quickly and efficiently create
Yahoo! accounts. The accounts created by YCC Yahoo! Bot Maker can be used
for any of the Yahoo! services such as Yahoo! Mail or Yahoo! Instant Messenger
(Y!M).
YCC Yahoo! Bot Maker mimics a web browser by requesting the same pages the
browser would during a normal account sign-up process
(https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?). YCC Yahoo! Bot Maker then displays the
information in a more friendly Windows application and solicits a response from
the user for the appropriate information to create an account. YCC Yahoo! Bot
Maker also has the ability to automatically fill in the requested account
information with pre-generated or automated data. As a method to create even
more accounts, manual proxy and proxy list support is included.
Quick Start
1. Leave all the default settings and press Process under Processing
Options (1)
2. Once a CAPTCHA control has been shown in the queue (7), enter the
CAPTCHA and press Submit for the respective control.
3. Wait and the next CAPTCHA will appear.
4. The results are stored in the bots.txt file in the program root directory.
2. Operation
1. Decide which type of name you would like to cerate (4). The choices are
Random, Sequential, Web Dictionary, User Dictionary, or None.
a. Random – This creates a username from completely random
characters. The character set is lower, upper, and numbers. An
option is given for the minimum and maximum length for the
username.
b. Sequential – This method takes a base username and then adds
an incremented number to the end of it. The Sequential Start is the
number that will initially be added to the end of the chosen
username. The Sequential Increment is how much the number will
be increased between names.
c. Web Dictionary – This creates usernames from an online random
word generator and modifies the words to create random
sequences.
d. User Dictionary – This uses names from a file specified by the user.
e. None – Only the username typed will be created.
3. 2. Decide if you want random passwords. The default is random and can be
found at the bottom of the Name Options (4).
3. Decide if you want random user information. The default is random and
can be found at the bottom of the Sign-Up Information. Otherwise, fill in
all of the user information shown except Alternate Email which is optional.
4. Select which proxy option you will use. None uses your native machine IP
address, Manual uses only the proxy information given, and List imports a
proxy list supplied by the user.
5. Click Process under Processing Options (1) and wait for the CAPTCHAs
to appear. The CAPTCHs will appear in the Queue section (7).
6. Type the CAPTCHA into the Submit field of the respective control when it
turns green and then click Submit.
7. If Continue Queue under Processing Options (1) is checked then the
queue will be populated with another name based on the initial options.
8. The results are stored in bots.txt which is located in the program root
directory.
Detailed Function
Processing Options
A. Process – This starts the account making process.
B. Add – Add one additional name to the queue.
C. Stop – Stop all queue processing and clear the form.
D. Queue Size – Number of names to initially populate the queue with.
E. Continue Queue – Automatically add another name to the queue once a
name has been processed.
Please note that regional servers have been removed due to a change
to the Yahoo! account servers. All regional servers redirect back to
https://edit.yahoo.com which negates the need to specify the servers.
Username and Password
A. Username – This is the username that will be created for the Yahoo!
account.
B. Password - This is the password needed to access the Yahoo! account
that is created.
C. Domain – The domain that the account will be created on such as
user@ymail.com
D. Random Domains – Create accounts with random domains.
Sign-Up Information – This is the user information required by Yahoo! All
fields must be completed except Alternate Email to have a successful
registration. More detailed information about each field can be found by
manually navigating with your web browser to the Yahoo! account signup page at
https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?.
A. Random User Data – If you would like all of the Sign-Up Information filled
in for you check this box. This option is preferred because all the data
4. fields are checked for their respective requirements before the name is
processed.
Name Options
A. Random – A random username is created
B. Sequential - This method takes a base username and then adds an
incremented number to the end of it. The Sequential Start is the number
that will initially be added to the end of the chosen username. The
Sequential Increment is how much the number will be increased between
names.
C. Web Dictionary – This creates usernames from an online random word
generator and modifies the words to create random sequences.
D. User Dictionary – This uses names from a file specified by the user. The
names stored in the user dictionary should be separated by a new line. If
the delete entry option is checked then the most recently used dictionary
entry will be removed from the dictionary list which is useful for not
reusing names by accident.
E. None – Only the username typed will be created.
F. Random Passwords – The password field will be automatically generated.
Proxy Options
A. None – No proxy will be used and the IP address native to you machine
will be used.

address must be prefixed by either http:// or https:// and localhost is not
permitted. This is useful if you use third party proxy management
software that automatically rotates proxies for you.
C. List – The proxy currently highlighted in the user provided proxy list will be
used for the current account creation.
a. Proxy List
i. Open - The open folder icon populates the proxy list and
removes any proxies already in the list.
ii. Append - The open folder with a + icon appends (add
without deleting current proxies) additional proxies to the list.
iii. Save – The save icon saves the current proxy list to a
user supplied location
iv. Add - Add a single proxy, specified by the text box to the
right, to the list
v. Remove - Remove the currently highlighted proxy from
the list.
b. Remove Proxy From List on Error – If a proxy from the list
generates an error while connecting such as protocol error, connect
error, or 999, it will be removed from the proxy list and not used for
account creation again.
c. Increment List After Use – This causes proxy rotation for each
account. Once a proxy is used, the highlighted proxy will move to
the next proxy in the list.
5. Last Queue – This the status of the last name request
Queue – This is a display of several username requests (the number is
determined by the Processing Options). When the CAPTCHA image turns green
