fuck!!! today I have fallen for the windows is updating prank
Co workers opened the fake windows update website, disconnected the keyboard and mouse
let's just say I sat there for a really loooong time.. cursing windows14 -
our university results are out
the webpage to check the results has only 3 input fields
roll number
date of birth
captcha
after checking the source code turnsout it doesn't need the date of birth and the most FUCKEDUP part is the captcha it uses is generated using javascript on the client side and literary checked using string1 == string2
I captured the post request its sending..
it only sends the roll number with some headers to the url
I wrote a quick python script to emulate the post request and got back the results of my entire college
note - the university I'm referring to has literally more than hundred thousand students under it, each and every student uses that interface to get his results4 -
javascript generated captcha and javascript captcha validation in my university website... over hundred thousand students use this website to check results
function ValidCaptcha(){
var string1 = removeSpaces(document.getElementById("AVCODE").value);
var string2 = removeSpaces(document.getElementById("UVCODE").value);
if (string1 == string2){
return true;
}
else{
alert("invalid captcha");
return false;
}
}
function removeSpaces(string){
return string.split(' ').join('');

less than a week into my new job I'm already writing shell scripts and python scripts to automate my tasks
- it's a windows machine
- Cannot install anything without admin privileges
- powershell is locked, cannot run scripts
- can't even change my wallpaper without privilages
thankfully git bash for windows runs without installation
python also runs without installation4
