Permanent Programming 11

Fun challenge! Did it with python, about 25 lines of code (could be trimmed down I'm sure). With these modules:

Code: Select all

import cookielib
import urllib2

Also done in Python using these:

I've solved it in javascript with greasemonkey (easier than pasting the code in the url)
the input/output was easy but I had to look up some things because I don't use javascript much
nice mission

I've solved it using C++

My idea was to monitor the windows clipboard... as soon as it changes my program would read the copied data... make the reversed ascii shift... and put the solution to the windows clipboard...

So basically I'd just copy(ctrl+c) the data:
Generated String: 42)40)45)38)72)26)53)58)69)59)73)

Shift: -16

And paste(crtl+v) the solution:
:8=6X*EJUKY

Easy!

Nice! I never thought of doing it that way, sweet idea.

i actually thought about that, but why bother when c# offers a premade solution for these type of things.

Interesting to use copy & paste on this with only 3 seconds....I used python and automated the program.

Surprising that noone thought of that?
I did both 11 and 12 with Copy+Paste, too lazy to do the Socket stuff, login, keep cookies around etc.

By the way, I don't think its a good idea to keep a full string, shift and solution around here. Might give away the catch of the shift.

LoL, i wrote a javascript application and did with that. in firefox, i just pasted in the URLbar the code and pressed an enter. its an easy way as well.

Yeah, quite a few people have had success with that, i'll have to try it sometime
