Cool idea, but please get an HTTPS cert - they're free!

Not using HTTPS opens up a bunch of new possibilities of how to cheat...

Can you send an http request spoofing the IP address it's from? I bet you could with enough attempts because you only have to successfully guess the TCP syn cookie once...

I had an almost identical idea to this website a while ago but never acted on it, props to the dev. Here is how you win the IPv4 games, in order of most to least effective: 1) Have a large online following that is willing to visit your claim link or a page where you can embed an iframe / img / etc that points to your claim link. 2) Pay to use someone else's (consensual) botnet by paying a residential proxy service, t…

> possibly exploit the system by sending a XFF header the developer forgot to block (probably just checking socket address so unlikely to work here)

Sadly, it was considered, and XFF is ignored from non-private source addresses: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/155b378a3962e4d291...

With private addresses defined as: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/7ab15e0b236d085c82...

This is really funny idea.

In this thread there is a comment wich talks about using AWS API Gateways for scraping. What are other great ways to get many different ips for scraping? Beside residential proxies.

Basically I did a 1&2 combo. I run a small anti-bot service for a few friends sites and started redirecting a particularly aggressive scraper to the claim URL.

Made my day

I have been wasting so much time claiming up to 11 networks over the past week. All for you lot to steal all but 2 of them from me in as many hours. Give me a break. :)

Give us some insight how you did it.

I managed to claim 64 out of 256 blocks using proxies from Bright Data[0] and PacketStream[1]. I claimed 49616 IP addresses within those 64 blocks. Unfortunately, the website doesn't tell you how many IP addresses someone claimed in total. Cool project! [0] https://brightdata.com/ [1] https://packetstream.io/

It's not publicly exposed yet but you can check here! http://ipv4.games/summary?subnet=0.0.0.0/0

Congrats on #1 spot :)
