@@erikpowa lol there are still people saying python is not real Programming? Damn

Yes, because this is a really ineffective and futile attempt to waste the time of phishers. Skiddies gave him their ad revenue, though.

guize i totally made a minecraft fortntie mod so im obviously a master progremmer and i know what a script is so im leet haxxor

DIOhydrogen Monoxide is this bait?Whatever,I only know a bit of HTML :/

wasting peoples time is where trolling started. simple, effective and literally never gets old.

More of a red hat lol

Red hat hacking, good guys but taking an illegal and destructive approach.

@@terminatorfishstudios lol

@@terminatorfishstudios legality != morals

me too :)

Same here!

same

Yea things like this are brilliant for learners because it makes them actually want to learn more and try this out . This is a great little project and videos like this is literally how I got into coding and actually started coding in my free time

Me three ✌🏻

Isn't it also likely the scammer would be able to reasonably discard the fake data he sent by looking at the time and the IP address they are coming from?

@@hereandnow3156 yeah he definitely shouldve used a vpn and something like the rockyou password list to be safer and more effective, still a good idea though

@@hereandnow3156 That is what i was also wondering

​@@hereandnow3156only if he logs the IP with the username and password otherwise he's going to have to comb through access logs that he may or may not have

​@@hereandnow3156Use proxying

These aren’t unrealistic at all so guaranteed atleast a few of them are real 😂😂

the password though.

@badrobots statistics, like how 2/3 of doctors are male or how 3/4 of all software engineers are men

@badrobots tmw genz

or he can just delete all of the emails and passwords starting from -email- and as password, -password-. The 2 ints he used to see where emails and passwords go.

@badrobots yikes

@badrobots Cool, but who cares

I bet that website is one of hundreds he uses unfortunately

@@cardinal9009 never ever have i seen someone else use this for a pfp. I cropped my pic up more though

yeah thought his generation algo was a bit dodgy, no last names, no full stops or underscores etc, just one name, one letter, same domain, all random 8 char passwords

there is always room for improvement, but to show how easy you can overload a spammer with a short python program really opened my eyes on what you(anyone really) can do.

Yeah, one thing I’ve learned from programming is understanding the code and actually implementing it to something are totally different.

@@zaftmonkeynuts5052 That's the point of studying, isn't it? Learning, enjoying, practicing the code. Yeah, I can't use Python, but I'm learning the foundation necessary to pick it up in the future. I can craft little things in "C" at the moment, and yeah... It's a different syntax, but the same fundamental rules apply. The joy is that - two months ago- I couldn't even program a "Hello World" script. I can now. Shoot, I've made some extremely awesome things that would take YOU two seconds to do. Even then, Good Lord, I see the vast difference between me in December and me now. Feels good, man.

I feel this completely! I have to understand something and set an objective in mind in order to learn it. As a little kid, those connections were formed by Neopets. I picked up a really impressive amount of HTML and CSS for a 6-8 year old. I was aiming to learn Python next, but alas life had other plans. I had a passion, but as I got older nothing helped make things "click". I lost that passion for years. But then KZfaq started recommending me these more advanced "taking down scammers" videos and for the first time in forever I'm forming these connections and I'm absorbing it all like a sponge. I'm so freaking excited! The other day I made a simple little thing in Python that responds to birthday posts on Facebook with a "thank you" so I didn't have to do it myself. Such an easy little project but I did it myself and it feels so damn good!!

@@midnari I agree, it’s literally the same feeling as listening to someone bad mouth you in a foreign language and you coming eight back at them and speaking that same language. It just feels good. By all regards, coding in all its forms, is a new language and the feeling you get from understanding it and learning to implement it is the best feeling in the world.

I understand most of it but I don't really know Python so I was a bit confused at some of the things he did, like the .join(random + for loop). How does that work? You can just put a loop inside a function parameter and it will make the function execute every time it loops? Or does it make the random function execute 8 times and add the characters together?

con artist gives them too much credit lol

He shows us the code and how to implement it yourself.

@@jacobhinger5039 only applicable to a very specific situation, he probably wants to know how to do it for a more diverse list of scams, etc

No time like the present to learn! Python isn't that hard and there are TONS of resources and the learning curve has been made so shallow, you could totally teach yourself if you wanted to. You got this!

Real programmers use butterflies...

@@PedroCristian real programmers write it on paper and use ocr to get the code

Non programmers you mean.

I’d love to see them do more than ruin a scammers day. Those scammers in India are the absolute sickest people I’ve ever heard speak. The second they don’t get their way, they start cursing the other party out and….idk why but they always like to add insults about the other parties mom, lol. These guys are insanely good at what they do. I’d love it if they took it one step further and messed with the temperature control settings in one of those “call centers”. I don’t know if that’s possible though, they probably don’t have a smart thermostat to hack. It would be funny though to turn their heater up to the highest setting and watching them squirm as they try to turn it down, lol

right.. most people use gmail anyway

he could just filter the yahoo emails out

you can always do more or less chars in between. takes 1 change in the code. or add more randomness i suppose. but thats not for a 5 minute video i guess :>

ya those look like csrf tokens

Totally

my thoughts exactly

hmm

You think one day we will all be controlled by the algorithm? 😅 Maybe it made me type that. 😵‍💫

@@pluto9000 The algorithm just makes sure you never see any videos that don't appeal to its whims... More of a filtering out process than a control process. But yea, you are probably totally under the algorithms control at this point. ;)

Easy way is to randomize the Yahoo emails to gmail, outlook and all the free ones, This would prompt him to delete all the free emails and lose all the legit ones. Its an extra two or three lines of code as it's python.

@@singu7arity run this all day, with random time delay between entries by 3 seconds to 2 minutes or smth

yeah slighlty more dedication wouldve ruined the scammers career

The scammers got him back

@@Intikus HAHHAHA BEST WHAT IVE SEEN TODAY LMFAO

In which case hopefully, he was using a VPN or proxy.

because kekeke

He probably mass deleted it using python lol

@@artificial_photon lmao thats probably actually what happened

I’m imagining him laying out this process in a video now 😂 “I can’t stand commenters and I thought this would be a fun way to waste the commenters time and hopefully teach you some python😊”

because thats exactly what it is. lazily written code that could be further optimized with +- 5 mins of your time.

yep! Totally junior-dev stuff

make a better one then bro i wouldn't mind watching that

dude it took him like 5 minuets lol ofc its low effort how much did you expect with that timeframe

Agree, any scammer with the basic level of skill needed to set up that scam will also just instantly delete all those entries in whatever csv file that php script writes and the scammer then reads in excel (most likely)

ok
