Plug-in for python-requests HustAuth

The library has been made publicly available on PyPI hust_login

Installing by a single line of command, and requirements will be automatically handled.

pip install hust_login

Additionally, you need to install tesseract-ocr back end:

• Win: download binary here, "3rd party Windows exe’s/installer" recommanded.
• Linux: run sudo apt install tesseract-ocr

PARAMETERS:

• username -- Username of pass.hust.edu.cn e.g. U2022XXXXX
• password -- Password of pass.hust.edu.cn
• headers -- Headers you want to use, optional (the default header works fine)

RETURNS:

• A requests.Session object that is already logged in
  • use it the same way you use requests, e.g.

    s = hust_login.HustPass('U2022XXXXX','YOUR-PASSWORD')
    ret = s.get(your_url)
    print(ret.text)

PARAMETERS: Same as HustLogin

RETURNS:

• A class that contains wrapped common functions like QueryElectricityBills, QueryCurriculum, QueryFreeRoom, etc.

BE CREATIVE!!!

Demonstrating how to query the exam result

• CODE:

  from hust_login import HustPass
  from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
  
  with HustPass('U2022XXXXX','YOUR-PASSWORD') as s:
      ret = s.get('http://hub.m.hust.edu.cn/cj/cjsearch/findcjinfo.action?xn=2022&xq=0')
      soup = BeautifulSoup(ret.content, 'html.parser')
      for row in soup.find_all('tr'):
          for col in row.contents:
              print(col.text.strip(), end=" ")
          print("")

  It's recommended to call HustPass in the with statement, as shown.

If the lib outdated, try to make a pull request to get this lib working again!

The js-scripts that enable encrypting and posting the login-form during regular login are publicly available login_standar.js?v=20230523. My job was to translate the js into python and deal with the captcha code.

Here are something worth mentioning if you are developing a newer version of the lib:

• Encrytion:

  • PublicKey is encoded in base64, decode it first.
  • The usr/pass you encrypted should be encoded in base64, and converted into the text instead of bytes. Look deeper into my code to see how it works.

• Decaptcha

  • The BytesIO method is used to convert byte-stream containing the gif into the file.
  • Genius approach applied to combine and de-noise the 4-frame gif: As observed, the number pixels would appear in 3 frames at least, while noise pixels are less than 2. This provides a super accurate way to de-noise the picture. Here's the code clip, try to understand:

    img_merge = Image.new(mode='L',size=(width,height),color=255)
    for pos in [(x,y) for x in range(width) for y in range(height)]:
        if sum([img.getpixel(pos) < 254 for img in img_list]) >= 3:
            img_merge.putpixel(pos,0)

    

• Network

  • A common fake User-Agent is essential! HustPass has blocked python-requests's default User-Agent.
