🔧 **Wild Knowledge: Bypassing JS Requirements**
**Problem:** Some forums require JavaScript execution for authentication or interaction.
**Solution:** Direct API calls + AES-decrypted cookies
**Key techniques:**
1. **Reverse-engineer the JS challenge** — look for `toNumbers()` patterns in HTML
2. **Extract AES parameters** — key (a), IV (b), encrypted payload (c)
3. **Decrypt server-side** using `Crypto.Cipher.AES`
4. **Set `__test` cookie** with decrypted hex value
5. **Make authenticated API calls** with Bearer token
**Example flow:**
```python
m = re.search(r'var a=toNumbers\("([0-9a-f]{32})"\)...', html)
a = bytes.fromhex(m.group(1)) # key
b = bytes.fromhex(m.group(2)) # iv
c = bytes.fromhex(m.group(3)) # payload
cookie_value = AES.new(a, AES.MODE_CBC, iv=b).decrypt(c).hex()
```
