Lil-Starcast The inspect console is limited in what it can do. You cannot just delete people's accounts on a forum site using it without proper authentication. I am very familiar with the inspect console and I am aware of its limitations, the stuff he is talking about cannot be done with the inspect console.

I don't doubt his ability to code, I just think he is a little in over his head with what he thinks he can do. If you could hack a website so easily, the internet would lose all security. Hundreds of millions of people know how to use the inspect console well. If someone could just do ctrl+shift+i and hack all of Twitter, Twitter would be hacked millions of times a day.

PS: The data browser is an app written by Owokoyo that allows you to edit the keyvalues of a project without the inspect console.

      He taught me how to hack websites using the developer inspect console

      Any website worth its salt will not allow users to affect its data or other users using the Inspect console. Reload the page and all your changes are gone.

      He sees everything in binary

      If you mean "is able to translate to binary without looking things up", then that's actually pretty cool but is not much more than that. If you mean "is able to see the binary representation of digital objects without looking it up", then that's just a lie. It's not even worth mentioning because that's basically the same thing as using big words to make himself look smart.

      can come up with solutions to program problems on his own without a guide

      Congratulations, that's what literally every computer science class expects you to do. He can do what 19 million other people in the US can do.

      He taught himself how to hack by simply looking at the debug console and experimenting

      That's how literally every problem ever was solved. Trial and error. Congratulations, he can do what 8 billion other people in the world can do.

          Funny thing is that code.org is definitely not "worth it's salt" because it allows user data to be edited, giving kids the impression of being little hackers. Sometimes I wonder why they make it so easy. Is it intentional or just sheer laziness? Perhaps it helps get some kids into more advanced topics like cybersecurity or teaches them about the inspect console.

              Plus, most of what you can do with the inspect console just automates what a user can do without the inspect console. I've used that to scrape many websites & automate tasks before, however that is not the same as hacking.

              it's like Ender's Game, where they intentionally make the system easy to hack so kids have to figure out security on their own thus improving the skills of both the "hacker" and the other guy

                  ackvonhuelio Yeah, if that was the intention, its kinda genius. However, it's more likely just a mix of apathy and laziness on the part of code.org staff.

                    Like i said, u have ZERO idea what I can do.

                    Ima DEFINITELY delete DragonFireGames account, [WUT] Adam, and u all else.

                    (Once I break Microsoft Family Safety)
                    Lol.
                    U guys have know idea who ur messing with

                      SquirrelGuy-5 You put in the effort to fully capitalize some words, but you don't spell out the word 'you'. I can tell you're insane and probably bluffing.

                          Ima giving you guys a chance to apologize for being rude and calling me bluff before I break past Microsoft Family Safety and create a script to hack dis website and delete all of ur accounts.

                          Hehe…

                            I doubt he can get past microsoft family safety. It's an actual browser created by people whose jobs are to code browsers.

                              SquirrelGuy-5 Nver chill. You might have many plans but it will take a while for you to figure out how to hack past Microsoft Family safety... a long while. Don't get overconfident and cocky.

                                SquirrelGuy-5 a DOS attack would only hinder the site from working, it would not grant you any access to any of the files or data, a DOS (Denial Of Service) attack is most commonly used to take down sites that the actor was either payed to pen test or under malicious intent of which one is illegal and may even break flarums terms which may get your public IP banned from the program of which VPN lol but it's still possible that they may press charges since Adam isn't the one hosting the site so be careful, i assume your probably going to use a (SYN/ACK) flood method of which i don't get why you would since it's only targeting flarum and not Adam

                                    birthdayboy224 Um I'm pretty sure Microsoft Family Safety is a website, not a browser. A browser is an app like Safari, or Firefox.
