I'm a homeless
person that lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
These days I get drunk and attempt to get with the hot looking white women in San Francisco.
Below are some links that you might find interesting.
Grex and Arbornet aka m-net stuff won't work unless you can con the
50 year old virgin into giving you a free account. It was never like this in the past, but the system got locked down due to people abusing the software. And fixing the bugs would be the sane and logical thing to do.
These are abuses that I discovered over time, but I never quite made them to being full fledged programs. Mainly because I'm homeless and I have better things to do in my free time than geek out in front of a computer.
To freeze the Arbornet party aka chat system, do lock f on the party.log file.
To lock people out of Grex, create a screen, press ctrl d, then logout. Log back in and repeat until the system kicks you out with the message "All ports are busy." I was told that a variation on this still works on the Grex restricted shell. However, I haven't been able to verify this.
To prevent a screen capture on Facebook, pass special characters to your post. Think things like passing bold text as unicode. If done correctly, it will freeze the other person's phone when they attempt a screen capture.
To bypass the 5 point forum rating system on Craigslist on Android, use a VPN like Tomato VPN, log in under a different email account, connect to a VPN server, and reconnect to Craigslist through a browser. You now can do things like plus yourself or give additional neg points to another poster. To go beyond 10 points, log in under a different email account, connect to a different VPN server, and reconnect to Craigslist through a browser.
To automatically neg people on the Craigslist forums, use something like Selenium, and run it under batch control. The coding kind of sucks because Craigslist has no API.
To block out non grey users on the Craigslist forums, use something like Greasemonkey. Alternatively, you can use something like Perl LWP. The actual coding is a pain in the butt because Craigslist has no API.
Outdated stuff
And for historical purposes, here is the first program that I wrote. It calculates various probability distributions on the TI 85 calculator. It was written in BASIC back in 2000.
