ANU student here, can confirm it works with .edu.au emails
How do they stop people taking advantage of the ability to create an arbitrary amount of email accounts?
- iancarroll 12y agoIf they see a lot from an insecure uni I'd assume they would take action.
- jefftchan 12y agoIt seems like they're detecting browser user agent (and possibly IP)
- krilnon 12y agoI'm not going to abuse this myself, but at MIT you can create seemingly-unlimited @mit.edu email addresses using Moira. Getting a bunch of fresh IPs might be trickier, but you could probably wander around different WiFi access points, use the CSAIL OpenStack installation, or maybe just renew a DHCP lease a bunch. User-agents a easy to find and change with a browser extension (or scripting).
- cynix 12y agoDoes not work with uts.edu.au address.
- opcon 12y agoDoes not work with utas.edu.au either.
- NamTaf 12y agoFailed, it seems, to work on .uqconnect.edu.au addresses. I don't know if you have to use .uq.edu.au or if that wouldn't also work. Sucks, I was looking forward to this.
