A technical blog reverse-engineering Twitter/X anti-bot JavaScript challenges, such as the ui_mentrics signup challenge and the X-Client-Transaction-Id header, with the goal of reimplementing them in Go. Each post walks through finding the scripts in browser dev tools, cleaning up obfuscated code and verifying assumptions about how the headers are built.
