You got all twisted and complex. Check the history of programming languages and how it evolved...

Most people don't read about history of what they working on. All we want is getting started as soon as possible. Tueh. I remember while I was obsessed with Unix I read the history even history of computer networks.

Yes, it is definitely not advisable to keep paying for bypassing recaptcha when you can create your own. And I agree with you that good proxies too can help reduce the number of recaptcha's thrown at you. Selenium can be used for stealing data . Anyways Godspeed in your data science journey.

What's your thought on neural network, you said God's speed at it.
Mechandize Package also works soft like selenium

Cplusplus and Java are high level programming language, it's called embedded programming that communicates directly with the hardware of a computer.
Python is a higher level language than both cpp and Java

Programming language like C++ are used to program wristwatches, electronics device, cars, e.t.c also called Embedded system

Web programming language like JavaScript are used to program a website, they add more functionality to a website. JavaScript is a client side scripting language.

Python is a server side scripting language used for data base system. Not true:: python on server side is a bit slower than php. It's best at writing automation works

If you need to know more about dark web. Download and install Tor browser. Search for sites on duckduckgo their default search engine.

What they do, mainly illegal activities in the US and on the internet, Tor is an anonymous browser that's why people use it to surf the dark web..

There are some undeground forum on telegram and Icq as well.

Law enforcement agencies maintain some of dark web forums so be mindful of what you do and people you Link up to on there.

Well they not interested in buyers but coders and web maintainers

They transact using BTC and other cryptography currency.

You can be easily infected through the dark web.

Enceladus:
Autopilot could mean a program for automating tasks or performing actions on the web. Selenium webdriver can be built upon to give you a good autopilot with Python/java e.t.c as selenium can be used in numerous languages, which brings me to your second question.

When automating an action on the web, recaptcha is a crazy enemy that could be beaten previously when using selenium either by overwriting and disabling part of the http headers sent by the browser, or by editing the source code of webdriver itself and removing some part of the code that leaks the fact that you are automating to the server (It was added by Google to regulate automation but guys figured it out). But these methods won't work again as recaptcha and servers upped their game but hope is not lost yet. (Some website still fall for this i.e NL)

The only solution that works currently that am aware of is automating the OS itself with Python or C/C++, thereby eliminating all but one of the evil ways by which the websites are detecting automation. The last signal that triggers recaptcha is mouse cursor movement pattern,and this is the hardest part. It can be simulated with Python with something like

win32api.SetCursorPos((x_position ,y_position))

But you can already see that this a painful task as you have to first get the target coordinate (location of what you want to click), plan a real slow human like path to it and use a for loop to navigate to the position.

When you finally trigger recaptcha there are solver bots online for recaptcha head onto reddit to see them in action, although most are not working again (recaptcha evolved) but you could build on them and if you are familiar with machine learning you could train a classifier that solves recaptcha and bundle it to a chrome extension.

i was talking to one of my friends about recaptcha, i did some googling, i noticed there are websites that offers recaptcha bypass as a service for a small fee, it makes sense but from a coda point of view will i have to always go back to them whenever i need the solve the task? NO.

with the little research i did in the past few days, Recaptcha can be solved using Neural netwoking with Tensor Flow,Keras and other related library by Training your tool to make suggestion trying to solve on a scale of 1-100%, during the implementation stage, i discussed about it with a friend of mine he gave me some sample code and output of Neural network he was working on, while trying to train his bot to work based on certain criterias, am not good at data science thats why i backed out but will get back to it soonest. its one of the reason that will make me visit data science(neural)

using good proxy will reduce the amount of captchas being solved, About selenium i noticed it can be used to implement something like data stealer

sorry for the late reply, i wanted to take my time to reply because you know what you talking about lipsrsealed

My code works this way
If request.method==POST:
Name = request.POST['...']
... do something with name
Return Something
Return something

am using the post request to perform some operations based on what the user entered
The operations go successfully but the first return statement does not execute

It's alright.

Javierleon:
Working with django helped me with the concept of errors, and then looking at the logs I began to wonder how the cookies operated, I had an issue with this HTTP, whenever I fetched a POST request, I get this Get HTTP .1 / POST ... Error
Then internal server error page displays
As long as I know, everything seems Right, the POST data is received. What can be the cause, Google isn't helping

I said earlier, as written in most documentation, cookies give web document state. You know if you're working with ftp there's no session data included or telnet. Cookie is used to track user activity on site and to sometimes verify if it's a new user or returning user.

Meself never grab the concept of cookies while getting from client system. You know cookie data are stored locally on users PC. Once it's included in the server code.

There's a lwpcookiejar() used to retrieve cookie data from clients PC I'm looking at some time ago.

You should try to validate the method type as it is in the django tutorial page like. If the request you made Is right there's no need for error to be returned but it might be something else. Django returns so much error grin

If request.method == POST:
if request.status_code != 200:
print('error code {}\n'.format(e.code))
elif request.status_code == 200:
Continue post data operation
else:
die() #php die code
for your post data methods.

Server error code will give you what type of error

Try to paste some of your code, that's where we figure out what's happening.

You won't fetch data with POST request. You only fetch data with GET request. Post is sending data to server to verify

Thank you for this I really appreciate
On c, my motivation 1 is the rigidity. Yes the rigidness, I wouldn't wana look like an amateur at complex task. also, the low level the speed etc

Python the easiness, yeah the easiness. No time to waste, plus sockets, IP addressing, the library suite, web and GUI, it simplifies so many things for me

Java, well I would wana explore the android os sometime

C# not in my list but, i'm a little interested now that somany good stuffs are being said on it. I may look at it later

Data science. I actually jumped this wherever I saw it
You said something about HTTP and its true. I would love to know how it operates behind the hood. The post and get, the requests etc ... Please also share that knowledge

The HTTP its more than what i can explain, you can go online to read about it, absorb as much as you can because it is vast and deeper than i can say in few lines, if you read along and have some question i can help out with to explain and give you hints on where to look for other resources. Its all starts from the OSI model/IP suite. HTTP comes in play at the application level of the suite/layer. python request made me look back at it to get some more info about cookie,session which gives HTTP state(statefullness) Header data when making request with either Post or Get, because i was having issues making a request to some sites.
While i was learning unix network programming, its much of a hassle filling the structure data to create new connection to server, much arcane protocol(out-of-dates) were used as an example, they didnt give much info about how HTTP protocol being the mainstream of this century.
You should read about it when you think you need it, i make request thats why i had to go back to it.

Javierleon:
@progeek
I have been self taught in Python and shell, small c too
I tend to get things stuck but after a while grasp it the more
I have tried to move to C due to my preference but I rarely code these days
More like I went to fast for someone barely six months in consistent coding
I'm mostly tired of watching tutorials or reading e-books especially in Python and its affecting me going into c and java maybe Python was too easy to have started with
I just need a mentor to guide me
I chose the path to cyber security but I taught being a solid programmer first is what I need and that's why I don't wanna start any cyber security course yet
I just need guidance I feel like am rushing or learning things the bad way

Choosing cyber security you need to learn about those techs you intend to secure, code some programs to see you grabbing theconcept you learn. I did C, I loved C but it's mostly used to code exploits and network utilities, considering the fact that they build their own IP connection. It's a long journey takes years of study 1-5 of rigorous study to start with, after that you start grabbing concepts as you go deep in your learning phase. First thing is to know what the language you Intend to learn is used for. Most of us don't understand IP protocol suite, their dependencies, there's more to say on this topic, we will start having our conference to discuss these issues. Like now I have a topic of what python is used for. Most of our OG's don't know much about this things,all yousee it usedfor data science, all they want is exploit and exploits a weakness they know nothing about. It's not about reading all the time but thinking what you read through.

As for the mentorship, mentors will only give you pointers and reference to materials you need to understand a concept, who has the time to start tutoring when you also busy. There are sites that answers any question you face. What we need is learn, understand, reflect, and question what's read. Right now, telnet, ftp are no longer used or embedded Into those big companies services, p2p and others are not obsolate, they still use it. HTTP is the forefront of all tech now, I can body say, most of our experienced programmers don't know this HTTP to start with and they write codes that's interact with this tech. How do you intend to exploit the service you don't know. Your mentor won't teach you all, him self no know it all. RFC's are there read them.
After you grab some concept you can always come back here to talk about it as we doing now, let's spread good knowledge not the same thing we read all day long.
We all know Python is best for data science after it has been hyped. I can say hackers now prefer to write their exploit code in python why? because of its higher level with so much wrappers to make your work alot easier, manipulating data Is kinda easy with python, it's not written mainly because of data science. You can create good Gui programs that does some good works with python-tk.

C# is also good for doing Gui works, I'm learning that after am done with python that is if I deem it fit and it serves the purpose I want It. Yes it's reliable and complied language, people won't see your source code. But serious attackers will crack your compiled app using RE tools such as ollydgb, windgb and other related tools.

Now If you don't know assembly how do you intend to crack Or reverse an app. Well the Lang Is not meant for weaklings,

Before you choose a language you should have what motivate you to want programming. That's where you choose your line, what to learn, as a matter of fact you will need more than one language to hold your lane as a seasoned developer. Me self still dey learn.

As for Java I have no comment. C# is easy to learn, it's the best option for gui apps and mostly used. Company use Java, Individual coda use C# or related tech. My thought.

Our coda that think watching YouTube video will give you what you want that's a lie it only give you basic understanding of what's being discussed. Read documentation if you having problems with a topic from your language provider. That where everyone get back to when problem arise, ask questions on Google.

progeek37:
I discovered that the reason many people don't know algorithm and data structures is because they usually base their studies on YouTube videos and online coding courses. You can't learn programming principles with YouTube videos, it is never possible, I have not heard of any professional programmers who learnt all from YouTube videos or online courses. YouTube courses and online courses will give a quick grasp of the concepts but not a solid grasp. This is because no YouTube videos can provide you with adequate exercises and examples.
What I mean is to learn algorithm and data structures you need a textbook... printed or soft copy. I repeat you can't be proficient in handling algorithmic tasks without reading books from professional programmers and following their examples and solving their exercises... YouTube videos and online courses many give you a false hope of understanding programming principles when you do just few things the person who uploaded it did in 5hrs videos not knowing you are thousands of miles behind the full stuff.
To learn algorithm and data structures you inevitably need to read books and practice coding programming problems.
I recommend "The Art of Computer Programming" by Donald E Knuth[
He spent more than 2500 pages explaining algorithms and data structures and their importance to software engineering.
But don't rush to the book yet, start by downloading books on your favourite programming language. Try to solve all exercises.
Learn from me ---there is no book I have ever read without doing all the exercises, some take me few seconds, some minutes, some hours... some days, some even take longer time!
I repeat there is no other way to learn programming principles and algorithm and data structures apart from practising, reading alone is never enough. You need to practice, practice and practice no other way. You need time and patience, you will make mistakes, you will see many runtime errors, many compilation errors. You will fail, and fail and fail. At a point a point you will start experiencing the moment when things start becoming clearer and clearer and some problems that have given headaches previously will become a child's play. I'm speaking from experience.
If you are new to programming, you may consider joining my tutorial group. I give exercises that will you a sound understanding of algorithm and data structures. I also solve many problems live via Zoom app to teach participants how to tackle problems.

I agree with most of your point expect the Knuth book "Art of programming " bro, that book is expensive to read not a book for the weaklings, mist people that done justice to the book are some know kernel hacker, moreover that book is a 3 volume book. It's the last book Intend to read after cryptography book. You need to be proficient in calculus not just the normal once. For data structures and algorithms we have some books that does the job. Prof knuth book is not for everyone. My thought.

Autopilot originated from automated flight control, it is used to automatically pilot an aircraft (except during takeoff or landing). Interestingly, there is one Autopilot (from Twilio, a CPaaS) which I am currently using - it is used to build bots which can be deployed across multiple channels (voice, sms, whatsapp, slack, etc). I thought you were referring to this particular Autopilot.

Is it for Android?

is it suitable for learning Python?

Does it use MB while using it?

That's my question

All tools works well on windows and linux dont know about Andriod. once downloaded they work fine offline. just import the needed library file then you're good to go. best to use sublime text because of indentation problem when running your code.
Indentation and tabs are what gives most problem but sublime solves that for you.

Python is kinda hard for me
Can you suggest better way to learn it faster or any good offline app for Py with environment to code

it can be hard to grasp programming concepts at times, keep at it, you will get it, read code(not those 2+2 codes), write code(with library functions)use statements to validate your response. e.g.
def connect(self):
try:
req = urllib.request.Request(self.url)
self.f = urllib.request.urlopen(req).read()
if f.code != 200:
print('[*] Error code {}'.format(code))
except (KeyboardInterrupt, BaseExcpetion):
print('[*] Some Error Occured')
print('[*] Died with Error code {}'.format(self.code))
sleep(2)
exit(1)
THE ABOVE CODE RETURNS A TIMEOUT ERROR CODE for the statement
if f.code != 200:
print (f.code)

with time you will get it.

furl= url + '?'+ dat
try:
req = urllib.request.Request(furl,data,method='POST')
if req.status != 200:
print('Reqesy not success')
except URLError as Error:
error_list=[]
error_list.append(Error)

i use online resources download and read doc files at times.

try:
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as resp:
page_source = resp.read()
except URLError as Error:
error_list = []
error_list.append(Error)

if you already learn the language just move to creating a project while on the project you will learn the concepts you used. The above codes are sample codes not to stand as a reference might not contain error.
