I wonder if this was made by AI or a shit programmer
-
This reminds me of how I showed a friend and her company how to get databases from BLS and it's basically all just text files with urls. "What API did you call? How did you scrape the data?"
Nah man, it's just... there. As government data should be. They called it a hack.

who'd have thought that being shitty programmer was incredibly susceptible to security flaws and deeply unsafe instead of javascript
No, it must be JavaScript that is the problem

If I was a hacker, I would just get a job as a night cleaning person at corporate office buildings. And then just help myself to the fucking post-it notes with usernames and passwords on them.

As much as I dislike JavaScript, it isn't responsible for this. The person (or AI) and their stupidity is.

You know that's not the Tea code, but the downloader, right?

Sounds like a good case for brute forcing the filenames. Just do the proper thing and don't leave your cloud storage publicly accessible.
While proper security is better, you're not gonna brute force UUIDs.

Securing the db is more of an ops thing.

This has been the case for 40+ years. Humans are almost always the weakest link.
we built this shit. thus we are always to blame.

Youβre no better off than if you did an internet search and tried to figure out whoβs giving good advice, or just fumbled your own way through the docs in the first place.
These have their own problems ime. Often the documentation (if it exists) won't tell you how to do something, or it's really buried, or inaccurate. Sometimes the person posting StackOverflow answers didn't actually try running their code, and it doesn't run without errors. There are a lot of situations where a LLM will somehow give you better answers than these options. It's inconsistent, and the reverse is true also, but the most efficient way to do it is to use all of these options situationally and as backups to each other.

Believe it or not a lot of hacking is more like this than you think.
Security by obscurity.

Wow. It actually identified something?

As long as you're not rate limited, you absolutely could.

A UUID v4 has 122 bits of randomness. Do you know how long that would take to brute-force, especially with network limitations?

That's implying that the quality of information from other sources is always better, but I'm saying that's sometimes not true; when you're trying to figure out the syntax for something, documentation and search engines have failed you, and the traditional next step would be to start contacting people or trying to find the answer in unfamiliar source code, sometimes a LLM can somehow just tell you the answer at that point and save the trouble. Of course you have to test that answer because more often than not it will just make up a fake one but that just takes a few seconds.
There are some situations I'm going back to search engines as a first option though, like error messages, LLMs seem to like to get tunnel vision on the literal topic of the error, while search results will show you an unintuitive solution to the same problem if it's a very common one.

You cannot!
