Default Expired Domain Grabber?

Hi,

I am looking to download or find an expired domain grabber. I read an article on a guy who is supposedly infamous in the domain world and has a portfolio worth billions. He had tools which would grab up domains which people would accidently forget to re-register. I am wondering if you guys know of any free software such as this?

EDIT: Could sombody please move it to expired, I didn't see the section

Hmmm... I don't know of any such tool, but it would be very nice. I'd really like something like that myself.

Anyone know of one?

The only thing I know even similar is to backorder the name.

Have a read of this paragraph from this article which is from business2.com

Quote:

Domainers have their heroes, and one of the most mysterious is a man named Yun Ye, a Chinese citizen living in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is credited with boosting the entire market when he sold his portfolio of more than 100,000 domains to Marchex. His names were bringing in more than $20 million a year in revenues -- and $19 million in profits -- when Marchex paid the equivalent of 8.6 times annual earnings, based on figures provided in SEC documents.

“He is our god,” says domainer Michael Bahlitzanakis the moment he hears Ye’s name uttered at a Delray Beach party. Every domainer knows of Ye, but few have ever met him. He’s the domainers’ Keyser Soze. “My attorney happens to be his attorney, but that’s as close to him as I can get,” says Bahlitzanakis, 29.

A onetime hotshot programmer, Ye used his software chops to build the bulk of his domain empire in the late ’90s and early 2000s. He became a master at what’s known as “catching,” or buying up domains that were dropping because people gave up on them or forgot to pay the annual registration fee. At the time, the system was secretive, and domainers were trying to figure out what names were expiring and when. In the dark of night, Ye would sit before a bank of computers and, like a conductor, launch programs he wrote to shoot rapid-fire requests to purchase names.
