Warning: my Google Account just got banned after using this #14

Hi,

just wanted to let you guys know that after using this for about 5mins I got a pop-up that I am permanently banned from using Google Colab with the respective Google Account due to misuse.

+1. My account has also now been suspended from making further use of Google Colab services. It would be good to have a giant H1 tag in the README of the project to caution users about this.

I also want to point out, however, that the Google Colab use-policy explicitly disallows use of their services for cracking password hashes. Further, if you still try to execute the notebook, you'll be greeted with a small warning box advising you against going ahead.

I was following your instructions on how to use Google Colab

I got this warning. You should warn people about this! I am learning Cyber Security for Ethical Hacking, I do not appreciate getting in trouble with Google.

Guys, I've used these notebooks for several years (there are a few of them on GitHub) and honestly, this is not the author's fault. I used my spare account and when Google gave me a warning something like "You may be performing illegal commands, and may be suspended for this" - I took full responsibility proceeding, and got banned soon after.

It is good to have an FYI but a GitHub author of a Jupyter Notebook shall not be responsible for your Google account

it's not the author's fault, but please include it in the readme? so we at least get a warning before getting banned? In my case, no warning is issued by google, just straight up banned.

some advice for everyone here, don't use notebooks that other people share especially if there is a risk, just make a one yourself or at least copy it to a new notebook, a I have been using hashcat on colab with a notebook I made for some time and I never faced a problem with google.

Yeaah, banned too. Maybe there is some obfuscation...

Damn I am banned also 😕

I'm fine cracking h22000 hash, haven't tried other types of hashes.
