Recent changes in Colaboratory T&C prohibits the following actions and could result in ban from colab1.

  • file hosting, media serving, or other web service offerings not related to interactive compute with Colab
  • downloading torrents or engaging in peer-to-peer file-sharing
  • using a remote desktop or SSH
  • connecting to remote proxies
  • mining cryptocurrency
  • running denial-of-service attacks
  • password cracking
  • using multiple accounts to work around access or resource usage restrictions

The changes are made because resources in Colab are prioritized for interactive use cases.

This means all the notebooks present in this repository are prohibited and use with your own risk.

They will check what packages were installed, which user get created, and what commands get executed during the colab session.

There can be a solution if they blocked the code somehow but they didn't. So that means they will catch you if you did anything except using the colaboratory as mentioned.

There isn't any solution as they might be monitoring every command executed during session. You can use these notebooks until you get banned.

I started this repository when there was no regulations around these, only crypto mining was blocked. Now, Google disallowed or restricted these actions.

It's an end to this repository, and I won't update it anymore. Looking forward to build more useful repositories for you.

Well the workaround is to use it until you get banned from Google Colab.

Will I have any legal trouble about this?

Don't worry they wont sue you for testing it. The most they can do is ban you if you uses it regularly.
