Inspiration
Are you sick of signing up for sketchy websites? Sick of being bombarded with a million spam emails? Need to stalk someone without revealing yourself? Look no further - it's the secret identity machine!
What it does
The secret identity machine randomly generates as many names, usernames, birthdays, emails, passwords, addresses, and profile pics!
How we built it
We have python in the back end, with Flask, HTML, and CSS in the front end. By using the faker python library, we can generate a name and address. The birthday is generated from the current day and randomly selects a date 13-50 years ago. The username is created from the first name and birth year that was generated so it looks realistic. The email address is created from the username+ "@mailnesia.com", which is a legitimate disposable email service. The password is randomly generated using normal security requirements from modern accounts. The profile pic is generated from thispersondoesnotexist.com.
Challenges we ran into
Our main problem was trying to run the flask app to heroku and learning flask, html, and css. Unfortunately, heroku would not display the app so there is no website link we can use but we plan on looking further into it after the competition.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the HTML and CSS to work!
What we learned
We learned that 24 hours is not a lot of time, and how to use HTML, CSS, and Flask. We also realized that working virtually is a pain.
What's next for Extra_Secret
Hopefully we can get the actual website running in the future!
