This was over 10 years ago, maybe 20. I wanted to pick up a new language and I seemed pretty driven, at the time, to hack a certain site. I think I gave up on it and as usual I enjoyed writing the code more than using the app.
It didn’t use webscraping or anything too sophisticated. I just applied a few dictionaries I found online and ran everything through a series of anonymous proxies. Very brute force.
Learned Python to try and hack into a porn site.

I almost did this for a different reason, people choose python because it has some pretty good web automation/scraping libraries to work with.

I learned Python and regular expressions to download hundreds of pictures from 4chan. Good times.
Ah, the good ol’ regex html parser.
Seems like a good way to get put on a ‘list’.
