It garbles advertisers' data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can't work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

That's not how IP addresses work.

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

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 8 points 3 days ago

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

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

Totally doable if this was a distributed service.

ok not randomly generated, but you know

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 days ago

maybe we can setup a botnet to poison advertiser data.

click all the ads, all over the planet!

Feed it SQL injections?

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

It just changes the user agent instead...

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.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 17 points 3 days ago

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

[-] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

Nothing is random

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