I made an extension that bypasses online age verification
To show my stance towards online age verification, I made a small (literally, less than 10 kilobytes) add-on that will completely skip ageverif.net's verification prompt. (Only that site (for now?))
With more and more data breaches going on it's important to protect yourself by not sharing unnecessary data, and to show how broken some age verification platforms are!
It's #opensource too! github.com/helloyanis/agecheck (more info on why I do it is in the readme)

It’s funny how the UNIX epoch and my DOB happen to be the same. I wonder how many other people were “born” on 1/1/1970?
You mean 1970-01-01 00:00:00
Yeah, I wanted to say “19700101000000” but wanted to be clear for those not in the habit of reading timestamps formatted the way they were back then (although the “19” was usually left off) for easy comparison. Should’ve thought to put it the way you did.
MaeveDon’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!
Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)
Some highlights from the link:

aichanHey, I tend to be rather bothered by many of your cross-posting, but this is actually a cool reason for it. Thanks for this!

Congratulations, you’ve made the first “must-have” extension to get added to my list in years
Has anyone else noticed that suddenly boat loads of sites suddenly complain about “suspicious activities non your account” and blocked your account?
But don’t worry! All you need to do is give them all your private information, your passport, your driver’s license, and your first born and it’ll all be fine!
I’m in rather desperate need of a job, 2 more weeks and I’ll have to leave the country I called home for 5 years now because I’m not allowed to work here anymore and I can only get international remote jobs… So I’m desperately looking for sites like remote.com and two of these fuckers already blocked my account right after registration “because of suspicious activities on my account”. You mother fuckers, I haven’t even had the time to be suspicious, I just registered.
Bit alas, since I have no choice, I must sendy passport and personal data and biometrics (face) to persona.com or be fucked
I hate the world we live in, I hate it.
I just want to enjoy my quiet life. I don’t need a Lamborghini, I don’t need expensive shit, I like a little bit of computer, not even gaming, but nope, can’t have nice things, can’t enjoy anything anymore, the rich need more
Fuck this shit
It’s horrible. I would also play along under your circumstances but if I don’t absolutely have to, I will not send any identification to big tech companies or online sites in America. I’m swedish and I don’t need to use any American sites.
I will give up YouTube, email, search engines… And replace them with any option without this bullshit.
Life is no longer worth living. I’m basically done.
Weird. I had to solve a bunch of CAPTCHAs and also I have a limited set of services I use daily.
Check you IP on a blacklist checker. I was (am) on one for no apparent reason. They will do that, I was refused email accounts, refused access to wikipedia talk, and corporate emails keep trying to force me to hand over personal information. Tutamail may still give you an email, don’t bother with proton.

You don’t need to do anything just go to the site, if it’s the same one, and click check, and it goes through several dozens of these blacklisting sites.
That can be caused by how the browser is set up. If you use Firefox with resistFingerprinting disabled and the only privacy extension being uBlock Origin then the sites should work fine.
No, but that does reminds me that I need to set that up as well
I’m close to giving upon the internet entirely, beyond Lemmy that is.
I have nearly everything self hosted and once that’s done, I will fucking refuse to use anything beyond that
We’ll, wikipedia is cool still
You can self host Wikipedia.
With pictures, it’s about 115 GB.
Wikipedia dump
Of course forks should also work, but make sure resistFingerprinting is off and WebGL is allowed.
doing the lords work
Can’t this just be a filter in uBlock Origin? What does this do that is special that uBlock Origin can’t do?
You can at least block ageverif.com with uBO
You need to send data to a callback URL. Blocks won’t work, that’s basically like sitting on the verification screen and doing nothing.
Curious to know this as well. I think it’s possible, but I myself am not capable of writing the filter.
And of course a furry.
Is always a furry that save humanity.
@ZeroHora This is just a facade so that we eventually take over the world, but shh!!
Fuck all this. I’m going to get me one of those wood burning pen thingies and write on old boards I find around the street and in the alleys. I’ll leave them back where I found them and show up every few days to review any comments.
You could make a website from this. Great idea. I want to see the comments.
Lol, is it just an
onclosedfunction call?!I myself haven’t seen any age verification popups yet, due to me always being on a VPN, but I admire you for writing the bypass and making it open source.
I hope this continues to work, but seeing how dystopian the surveillance is getting, I won’t be surprised if everything is handled in the backend in the near future (client <-> server, client <-> verification provider, server <-> verification provider); sort of like how payments are handled.
It might get there eventually but for now we can probably continue to coast on various combinations of general ineptitude, cheapness, laziness, and ignorance on part of people implementing these systems.
Bought a plot of land in a small town decently out of the beaten path. Nothing too crazy, just 650 square meters. Been learning pottery and some homesteading skill. In a month and a half I pack the essentials I need on my bicycle and just try my best to leave this rotten system as much as possible.
Why
agechecker.net-bypass? Suggestion: Change that name to something more generic likeagecheck-bypassquick. You will almost certainly run into other URLs you can add in, and future users are going to think this only works with “agechecker.net”.I don’t get it. The block is only a front end thing? No server side check?
@helloyanis@furries.club is it librewolf compatible?
@Maeve @privacy Haven't tried but it should be! Follow the instructions on GitHub!
@helloyanis@furries.club thanks so much!
G-d bless our furry savior!
@privacy@lemmy.ml
@Maeve @privacy I didn't think when waking up today that I would be called "Furry savior" ! But I don't mind hehe!
Feel free to tell me if it works on librewolf so I know!
@helloyanis@furries.club ok I gotta attend to self-care needs, will install on return and get back to you.
@privacy@lemmy.ml
@Maeve @privacy Yeah it doesn't need to be done right away! Take care of your things! :dragn_mlem:
Might also be handy to put it on Codeberg!
Absolute royal owo
!remindme 4 months (yes I need a reminder bot)
Sadly Pornhub is still IP blocking Texans
How did you discover this was bypassable ?
@cipherd Snooping around in the console and not wanting to show my face to some random website! Also, reading the docs on their site helped.
More technical details github.com/helloyanis/agecheck
Wow so it’s really just a pop-up and the content is loaded behind it anyways?
