This is one of those things, in light of the continual expansion of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, that I'm not sure I'd make a blog post about. Kinda neat though.
Ah missed that part. That’s SLIGHTLY safer, but I’d personally still be paranoid. “He used his knowledge of the code to publish HACKING instructions on a website called HACKER NEWS. The prosecution rests.”
You’d be lucky if they don’t drop a “darknet” in there as well.
He was given permission to access, not permission to brute-force (blogged about it too.) Even if technically legal, why poke the bear? Lawyers cost $1000 an hour.
Rather than the strange threading logic (perhaps using a threadpool executor [0] would be a better idea), I’d encourage you to check out aiohttp [1] instead of requests.
Even more entertaining: "Hi! I’m JonLuca DeCaro. I’m currently a Software Engineering Intern at Google. Before this I was a Security Engineer at Apple."

If that works, you can probably use a binary approach to split the set out.
