The 4chan_pass= cookie is a remnant of the post deletion password field. There's some Javascript on the page that sets it to a random value if not set yet. It's stored with the post, and it allows you to delete the post from a different IP address. Given 4chan's restrictions on post deletion, it's not very valuable anymore. It is also now used to automatically detect ban evaders if they post with the same cookie from an unbanned IP. |
I should mention also for logins that sys.4chan.org/auth and sys.4channel.org/auth return the same cookies, but a different domain. You can use cookies between the two without issue. |
There is currently a bug in 4chan's backend where the "another IP is using this" error will only ever return cookies with a 4chan.org domain. You can submit posts with sys.4chan.org or sys.4channel.org, but the cookies returned will only ever be for 4chan.org. Since it appears that cookies can and are split across the two sites in other ways, I think that's probably not intended. |
Something like this:
