Notorious Kid Doing Online Shopping 👶(Automating Login Form Submission Using Python)

By

Few months ago I found an online shopping website for buying stationary and college stuff. The Interface of the website was Ok but there was some serious security flaws in the website. So to kill this lock down daemon I decided to play with that website.

The major flaw was that it was to much easy to create a new user account on that website , you just simply have to enter your email and password , Hurray your account is created. Seriously no otp , no captcha nothing just enter a random email babubhaiay@ly.com or anything else your account will be created. It's hard to find such websites these days but still there are many if you explore the internet.

This flaw on XYZ shopping website activated the beast inside me , so I just decided to do something diabolical. I wrote a python script through which you can create hundreds of fake account sorry thousands , sorry millions ok wait as much as you can or want. Just four lines of python code and bhoom companies database will be flooded with fake accounts which could cause them some serious issues.

But wait humanity still exists and no one want to go jail for flooding a database 😬😬, so I just decided to create only 100 fake accounts and sadly it worked, Truly speaking I wasn't thinking that it would be that much easy ,my 4 lines of python code created 100 users on that website !!. Then the daemon inside me forced me to something more diabolical 👹👹.

I just thought what if I write a script to add the complete website products on my cart 😁. But then my spirit stopped me to do such diabolical task and I reported this critical bug along with some other bugs to the XYZ shopping(Name has been changed for security Reason) website and I hope they take this bug as a serious flaw and resolve it as soon as possible.

I know many of you are excited to see the 4 line python magic code and here it is.

 

If you are going to ask the explanation of this code then sorry I myself don't know how I did 🤣🤣 you have to do a little google search. I hope they don't file a criminal case against me for just adding 100 fake users in their database 🤕🤕.

M1 MacBook Air For Development (A Student Review)

By
I have been using M1 MacBook Air for last 15 days and my development experience is quite good. I have used python modules like numpy, pandas and selenium and my experience is quite good , though numpy and pandas don't work natively on m1 but it can be used with rosetta2. I have also tried the browser automation on Safari using selenium with python and it runs completely smooth and also work natively on m1 Mac. I have also tried Visual Studio Code on  m1 Mac though initially when I was testing visual studio code for web development it was not available for m1 Mac but still the experience was quite smooth , Now Vs code is available natively for m1 Mac but I haven't tested the new arm based Vs Code. If you love the terminal package manager then there is good news for you home brew the Mac package manager is natively available for m1 Mac but it's not completely functional but soon the home brew will be available for m1 Mac. Before Purchasing the M1 Mac  I was using a intel i5

Automating My Online Class Attendance(Fun with Python)

Attending online class is a very tedious task, students have to face many difficulties like network issue,audio issues and many more and if you are an Indian student then attendance is also a big issue for you because in India it's necessary to maintain the 75 percent attendance criteria. Last month our college decided to conduct online zoom and for same purpose they  designed a moodle portal for taking attendance of the students , so criteria was that any random time teacher will unlock the Attendance portal and you have to mark the attendance within 5 to 10 min , after that your portal will close. Sometimes teacher close the portal within 2 mins , so one has to be very fast and concentrated in class. Moreover marking attendance was not also to easy, you have to follow series of event. login to portal -> select your subject from dropdown -> click on Attendance Button -> One more link to Attendance form ->Click on Present Radio button -> Submit the Form. As You can s
