Making a Whatsapp Spammer Using Selenium and Python.

We all have had spamming wars on our group chats before, and they get tiring because of the sheer mundaneness of the task, resending a single message again and again. That's where automation steps in.

Selenium is a web testing library for the robot framework. We're going to be using it today.

1. Install Selenium:

• Open a command line with admin privileges.
• Type in 'pip install selenium'

pip install selenium

1. Install Chrome Webdriver:
   • Identify the version of chrome you are using
   • Go to the chrome driver web page and download the required driver.
   • Here as I am using a Windows OS, I downloaded the Win32 zip file.

• After it has been downloaded, extract the .exe file and put it in a drive and file of your choice (It's important to remember where you have saved it).

1. Check Environment:

   • Go to a python editor of your choice (I use juypter notebook) and try importing selenium. If it runs without error, your setup is successful.

2. The Code:

   • Now copy down the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe" # Location of the webdriver file

driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.implicitly_wait(15) 
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com')
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("span[title='" + input("Enter name to spam: ") + "']").click()
inputString = input("Enter message to send: ")
while(True):
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]').send_keys(inputString)
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[3]/button').click()

IMPORTANT NOTE : Please change the PATH to where you have saved the .exe file.

1. The Final Outcome:
   • Using your phone scan the QR code for WhatsApp web and then enter the name and the message you want to spam.

Spammer in Action:

• Copy and paste the code from above into your editor ( Preferably Juypter Notebook).

• Run the code. You should be able to see something like the image below. You will also see that a new WhatsApp window opens up.

• In the 'Enter the name to spam' Section', add the name of the contact or group you wish to spam.

• In the 'Enter the message to spam', enter the string you wish to send.
  

• After you hit enter, check the Whatsapp window, you will see an infinite number of messages being sent to the group/contact.

• To stop hit Ctrl + C or click on the stop button if you're on Juypter Notebook.

Conclusion:

The spammer works just as intended, and is extremely fast. It also provides a good eye-opener into the world of automation.

Commonly Faced Errors:

• Sometimes, when importing selenium, you may get an import error. Check where selenium is installed and figure out where if the selenium installation and python path match.
