 # <b> Explanation of services and exploit </b>
 
 ### <b> Google Colab and Qwiklabs </b>
-Google 
-The downside is that the account gets temporary blocked when a too andlong intense use is detected.
 Qwiklabs (qwiklabs.com) is a third-party service which gives temporary Google Accounts for training in Google Cloud Shell use. Their first course (https://www.qwiklabs.com/focuses/2794?parent=catalog) is completely free, others require some in-site credits to be purchased.
-Combining the two services, infinite temporary and disposable Google Accounts can be obtained from qwiklabs and used for mining on colab, until the qwiklabs session expires or the miner gets blocked by Colab. At such point, a new session can be started. That's basically free money. Obviously this can also be used to automated non-malicious tasks, as long as the Colab notebook is publicly available (e.g. as a github gist). After a certain time number of times repeating the course, the qwiklabs account might reach it's <i>quota</i> for that course and a new one needs to be created. I'll will look into a way of automating account creation in the future. For now, use temp mails from temp-mail.org when creating accounts
+Google Cloud Shell is the well-know cloud computing platform by Google, just like Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure. Unline those other two, Google Cloud Shell offers a free Console to every user, running 1vCPU of a Intel Xeon and 2GB of RAM, with some storage space. All for free, no credit card or other crap required. Also to be noted, that a reboot of the cloud shell console (especially in ephimeral mode) offers a complete new machine, with different ip and mac addresses.

+1) Prepare a list of multiple Qwiklabs accounts. The Account Server will manage those.
-2) Get temp Google account from Qwiklabs (The MAC address has to be spoofed). However, when starting a lab on qwiklabs, sometimes the website presents a captcha and prevents the user from resolving it via audio (common bypass) for the following reasons:
+2) Get temp Google account from Qwiklabs (spoof mac addr? Not needed if running in docker containers). Most free proxies (tor included) are flagged as such. In order not have problems with the website presenting captchas, proxies and mac spoofing need to be left aside. Manually automating google chrome with pyautogui instead of selenium also helps
-
+3) Access Google Cloud Shell with the newly obtained account.
-    * Account accessed too many times in a too little timeframe
+4) Execute arbitrary code. The machine can also be rebooted multiple times across the same session to simulate having new machine.
-    * Tor, common VPN providers and most free proxies are recognized and presented a captcha
+5) When the session expires, start again from 2.
-    * Selenium is recognized as an automated browser session
-
-    This problems can easily be bypassed by starting a chrome session with an empty profile, spoofing the MAC but not the IP and automating the browser session by programmatically moving mouse and keyboard. (This is done in <i>get_account_from_qwiklabs.py</i>)
-
-3) Access Google Colab with the newly obtained account, start a Proxy. Google Colab doesn't get recognized as a proxy
-4) Start another script, which is proxed on GColab. This will create and destroy qwiklabs accounts on the need to replace accounts that have been blocked. Restart the colab-proxy session each time to get a new ip, and spoof the mac accordingly
-5) Again, get a new ip from the proxy-colab session. Now head over again to qwiklabs.com, get a new google account and use this to start any notebook. The code will be automatically executed, the needed backend (None, GPU, TPU) can be choosen
-6) Every 45 minutes, get new accounts from qwiklabs to replace the ones currently is use. Always get new accounts while proxed

-Selenium carries some javascript and other stuff which can easily be detected by most websites - GColab and Qwiklabs included - and get the session blocked, especially if captchas are involved (There are workarounds to captchas for selenium - https://github.com/ohyicong/recaptcha_v2_solver - but often the  audio captcha doesn't even get presented to the user if an automated browser session is detected)

+### <b> Account Server </b>
+The idea here is to start multiple sessions from different docker containers running on the same machine. To do this, the management of Qwiklabs accounts needs to be centralized, in order to avoid having different instances of the bot crashing and stopping each other randomly.
+The AccountServer does just this. It's a bare metal TCP Server which dispenses accounts to the different instances of the bot when they ask.
