02 - A Tale of Multi-Threaded Mayhem - Sun, May 14, 2023
Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're still here, my dude? I'm legit shocked! Do you even have a job? Anyway, buckle up and get ready to yawn your socks off because I'm about to give it my all to bore you to tears. :hehe:
Multi-Threaded Mischief: My Quest for Log-Out Relief
Last time we talked about the plan, but let’s be real, you guys don’t give a flying fuck about plans, do you? You’re here for the juicy details, the execution! And who can blame you? You’re a bunch of pesky little shits, always looking for trouble.
So, let me tell you about the time we (mani, nysa and me)(The Three Dumbteers)[Yeah we were those rascals who ..] decided to automate logging in to an account. Pretty boring stuff, right? But wait, there’s more! We didn’t stop there. No, sir! We wanted to log out everyone’s account. That’s right, EVERYONE’S account! And guess what? We did it!
How, you ask? Multi-threading, shits! I Googled that shit and figured out how to use it in Python. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with the technical details. Just know that I’m logging out several accounts at once like a fucking boss!
But there’s always a catch, isn’t there? What if the management catches on and blocks my IP address? Well I got my buddies to help me out. We came up with an interesting idea to hijack an empty lab as soon as class starts. :lol: Who needs a plan when you’ve got balls of steel and a team of badass buddies?
Chaos Begins!
Now, here’s the real kicker. I created a script that could simultaneously log out 20 random accounts in one cycle, and we had three laptops. But that wasn’t enough for us pesky little shits. Oh no, we had to take it up a notch and borrow more laptops from our friends to make things even more interesting.
So, let’s do the math, shall we? 20 accounts per laptop, times four laptops on average, equals 80 accounts logging out continuously within 5 seconds. And the loop kept repeating every 5 seconds. Can you imagine the chaos!!
At first, we weren’t sure if our little scheme was even working. We couldn’t see what was happening in the class, so we felt a bit demotivated. But we didn’t give up. We kept the script running and waited with great patience.
And then, it happened. BOOM! Chaos erupted everywhere! People were complaining left and right, codes weren’t running, and accounts were continuously loading. It was a thing of beauty, my friends, a beautiful chaos.
The management had no idea what was going on. They were telling students to turn off their laptops and just listen to the class. Ha! Good luck with that!
Chaos Continue!
So, did we stop at logging-out everyone’s account? Nah, that was just the beginning of our mischief! Our true aim was to force the management to give us the option to change our passwords.
We continued to bunk class every other day and run the same script again and again and again! But the management still didn’t seem to care, which was sad as hell.
So, I made some tweaks to the script. Now, it would open a few accounts and write messages in their program. The plan was to show this to a faculty member and force them to give us the password change option.
But even that didn’t work at first. The management was as oblivious as ever. It was frustrating as fuck, but we didn’t give up.
We kept at it, bunking class and running the script, with tension always high in the labs. Faculty members would come and go, constantly checking up on things.
Caught!! Are we done??
We had a close call one time when we almost got caught in the lab on the ground floor. Out of nowhere, a faculty member opened the door and caught us in the act. We had to think fast and make sure to hide all the wires. Can you imagine us scrambling to come up with excuses if we got caught?
To be honest, we could tell that the faculty member thought we were up to something shady. I mean, come on, who hangs out in a dark room with laptops and Ethernet cables during class time? We read the situation and knew we had to act fast to avoid any accusations of watching illicit content.
Anyway, that’s our little adventure story, folks. I’m not gonna bore you with all the details, but let’s just say we had some close calls and plenty of laughs along the way.
Is it done yet? Did we win? Did we get what we got?? Well see ya another day shits!
