This is funny I like it. Basically just captures the scroll input and iterates through int128s and their UUIDs on a static page to fake a scroll. My feature request would be to add smooth scrolling.

And support autoscroll too, if possible (where you click middle mouse to scroll)

I use this all the time but someone decided to disable it by default. For those who haven't turned it on after a reinstall yet, or haven't discovered the setting: about:preferences -> search autoscrolling

Seems like some hacker leaked all UUIDs. Check if your UUIDs are part of the leak.

This is the biggest hack since every ATM PIN was leaked: https://pastebin.com/SmJRB8eQ

PINs can be up to 6 digits (at least here in the UK, but I doubt it's country specific), even though the ones they give you by default are only ever 4. So that's only a leak of 1% of them.

Hey, one of my database passwords is in here. How the heck did you get access to it???????? Who do I contact about this breach? I want names and addresses.

I'm so sorry - we'll start working on a feature to redact UUIDs after we figure out how to handle GDPR compliance

I took the first one, nobody else take it or it will no longer be a UUID.

You can sell it as an NFT. That way it is still unique but you can pass it along.

The creator should add a button to mint an nft on his custom side chain.

I looked for deadbeef-f00d-f00d-deadbeef** but did not find it. Search is just on active page, that gets ever longer?

deadbeef-f00d-f00d-deadbeef isn't a valid UUID v4

Aside from missing a grouping in the middle, you need the version and variant bits, ie:

XXXXXXXX-XXXX-4XXX-VXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

where V is 8, 9, A, or B

searching for deadbeef-f00d-400d-a00d-deadbeef does return the expected matches

I’m writing a script that scrolls through the site, scrapes the UUIDs, and stores them in an AWS S3 bucket. I’ll let you know when it finishes.

damn, my password is here

that's ok, just add a "1" and an exclamation to the end, that'll make it super secure, the hackers won't figure that one out.

Oh my. Brings me back to my internship at a web development firm in Venlo. Someone "hacked" the company (somehow knew the master password used for everything) and deleted half the websites. Could restore from backup iirc but you know what the solution was?

Add an exclamation mark to the password

Which in turn reminds me of another internship where a computer upstairs got "hacked". Everything on the desktop was messed up, icons moved, random programs open, some files moved into folders at random... why'd anyone do that? The boss left it as-is for me to take a look at how this could happen—yes, including the thematic porn sites hinting 17-year-old me at what happened to his marriage. Not finding any hints, I started sorting the stuff back out and business continued as usual

Come afternoon, I was working on the computer when the mouse moved. Like, not me, I didn't move it. Was it the hacker? How are they connected? After a bit it moved again, but it didn't make any sense. I don't remember how I put 2 and 2 together but, going downstairs and seeing him at the media station using a wireless mouse downstairs, I got a dark suspicion

Yes of course it was an insider threat =) We bought a different wireless receiver for the mouse that day

Does that not cause problems on some card machines? I've come across a few that definitely don't let you put in more than four digits.

OMG thank you!! I was looking for one that goes well with my shoes and I finally found the one - 346c7747-a421-4073-881e-7a7282b6150b.

EDIT: That one is MINE. PLEASE DO NOT USE IT.
