pydoc, clblob unsupported #7
Description
Error: No python coverage
$ pip install clblob
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement clblob (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for clblob- The Website Code
The site uses jQuery and other popular libraries to handle things like maps, sliders, and interactive elements.
A key file, browsePostings-*.js, is all minified and tough to read. It's got the code for a swipeable carousel or slider.
They're using something to track if a page is hidden, maybe for performance reasons.
- The Servers
An Nmap scan of a Craigslist server at 208.82.237.135 showed a few open doors: ports 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), and 53 (DNS).
Most security checks didn't find any major issues, but some of the scan scripts ran into errors.
Connections often bounced from HTTP to HTTPS, which is a good security practice.
- Network Traffic
Packet captures confirmed typical web traffic, like your computer saying "hello" to the server (TCP handshakes) and setting up a secure connection (TLS).
There were some strange, broken requests and a lot of connections getting cut short.
DNS lookups were also happening to find out where geo.craigslist.org is located.
- Random Technical Bits
There was a command-line error where a program called clblob couldn't be installed.
A DNS query for a full web address (like http://208.82.237.135/) failed as expected, because DNS only looks up domain names.
