That's not how IP addresses work.
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.
Make sure you're behind a 54mghz ram modem firewall
Is it from this? https://youtu.be/hkDD03yeLnU
I liked your post ❤️
Feed it SQL injections?
Have it form connections to all the other browsers using the extension and they all send a click.

Naw, it’s an MMORPG.
Is the botnet itself breaking the law or is breaking the law with a botnet breaking the law?
Okay okay, how about a counter that is updated with each user clicking on an ad, and the client can decide what they want to do with that information, totally not a botnet right?
peer networks are not illegal if the peers are consenting members.
It just changes the user agent instead...
Nothing is random
In bot cases like this you would have a proxy list that it “randomly” picks from
Yes that is what was proposed, you’re the only one who seems unclear on it
I said the end goal in my top level comment. I didn't go into methodology because I figured someone else could do it more eloquently; thank you for doing so.
You can fake your IP. There isnt really any authentication at the IP level. Just make a packet and overwite the IP field.
Edit: I was corrected. The TCP handshake requires you to have a valid IP you can respond from. So even though you can fake your IP, you can't use that to talk to most websites.
You need a TCP handshake prior to sending any http payload.
Oh yeah. Forgot about that.
I misremembered my internet class. Sucks that it made ya feel bad.
Edit: and you can put whatever you want as your source IP at the IP level. Though idk how modern security deals with that. I know I was taught that that was a way to DoS attack, so I imagine it's protected against.
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.
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
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.
Totally doable if this was a distributed service.
ok not randomly generated, but you know
