check_if_up

Its a python3 program to check if DTU's website is up and running and notifies the user by playing a song. It also automates the login process by brealing the captcha using a trained CNN. Done using selenium.

Why?

DTU's registration always crashes before registration of subject due to high traffic and its taken to lot of effort to sit and keep refreshing the webpage mannually to check if it loads. Since the registration process works in a first come first serve basis, the program helps make life a bit easier.
