Need more images from the Frido Sleigh CAPTEHA? Just want to test your training and categorization?

• Open the site in a Chrome browser and open the developer tools
• Log all the images through multiple runs of the CAPTEHA
• Capture images into a .har archive -- It's just json, and the request strings include the full image in base64 mode.
• Run the attached script to convert the images from the .har file to .png

Then run Chris Davis's scripts from https://github.com/chrisjd20/img_rec_tf_ml_demo to categorize your images!

Just in case you thought that CTF skills aren't useful in the real world, 
the WPRB stream changed recently, breaking my saved bookmark in Rhythmbox.
On the station's web page, there was a popup player, but not a direct URL
for desktop players anymore. What's a Linux geek to do?
