Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking

  What if we use a Visual Basic UI to hack the IP address by netmask?

    Yes, but this only works if you connect your VPN via 3 block chain proxies.

  maybe we can setup a botnet to poison advertiser data.

  click all the ads, all over the planet!

    Why are you people so concerned about “the data?” Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

    This is an effective tool to charge advertisers money without having their ads shoved in our faces. It directly undermines the integrity of the digital advertising ecosystem, and you people are obsessed with “privacy” because your priorities have been decided for you by your oppressors.

  You can fake your IP. There isnt really any authentication at the IP level. Just make a packet and overwite the IP field.

    You need a TCP handshake prior to sending any http payload.

      Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

        If you just do it on your own computer, the packet will be already dropped by your own gateway. You can fake whichever address in your local subnet, but those are very likely remapped anyway in your gw to the one given by your ISP.

        If you would have access to the switch port used by your ISP in the Internet exchange point (IX), you would have more liberties in choosing the IP.

  Have it form connections to all the other browsers using the extension and they all send a click.

      Is the botnet itself breaking the law or is breaking the law with a botnet breaking the law?

  Nothing is random

  In bot cases like this you would have a proxy list that it “randomly” picks from

  source

  • lumony@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    No, he means that’s literally not how IP addresses work. It’s not about “nothing being random.”

    You don’t just “pick an IP address” from a list lmao and send it as though it’s not your actual IP. You would need to literally connect to a proxy and send the request through that proxy in order for ads to see an IP different than you own.

    My god, are you people trolls or just the next generation taking hold? The dumbing down of Western society is in full force.

  It does if it reports the URL to click home somewhere and users can opt in to pull the list to auto click.

  It would DDoS the ad servers. Muwhahahaa

  • theherk@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yes. That’s just what I want. An extension sending all ads served to me to a central location, so my fingerprint can be very easily indexed and stored on a definitely never hacked, leaked, or sold database.

      And it would totally never get abused or hit a false positive.
