Good start. Now make a version that clicks each ad a random number of times from randomly generated IP addresses.
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.
Is it from this? https://youtu.be/hkDD03yeLnU
maybe we can setup a botnet to poison advertiser data.
click all the ads, all over the planet!
Feed it SQL injections?
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
Have it form connections to all the other browsers using the extension and they all send a click.

peer networks are not illegal if the peers are consenting members.
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?
It just changes the user agent instead...
Totally doable if this was a distributed service.
ok not randomly generated, but you know
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.
Nothing is random
In bot cases like this you would have a proxy list that it “randomly” picks from
Ad Networks use browser fingerprinting to detect duplicate clicks, which is tied to your hardware, system locale, installed fonts etc.
Sounds like a solvable problem
