Good start.

now you've broken the law by creating a botnet.
-
Is the botnet itself breaking the law or is breaking the law with a botnet breaking the law?
I'm pretty sure it's not a botnet until it's used as one or the intent of it is to be used in the same way a botnet is used.

That's not how IP addresses work.
Nothing is random
In bot cases like this you would have a proxy list that it “randomly” picks from

maybe we can setup a botnet to poison advertiser data.
click all the ads, all over the planet!

Good start. Now make a version that clicks each ad a random number of times from randomly generated IP addresses.
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

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.

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.

Yes that is what was proposed

what oppressors want me to worry about privacy?

Chameleon add-on for Firefox, randomly rotates your browser, OS, screen size, timezone, device type, language, and other customizable parameters every x minutes.
I've set it to do so every 5 minutes, and to omit desktop & tablet as device types (else some websites display the respective page) and timezones (messed up 2FA).
I also disabled blackberry and windows phone from the manufacturer ID, that would have the opposite effect from obscuring me.
For the rest of it, it's working great.

I can tell I'm getting old by the amount of proudly-dumb shit I keep reading.
It's only going to get worse. Sigh.
I misremembered my internet class. Sucks that it made ya feel bad.

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

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?

Tell me how, then, because I don't know how to get around the font thing. Everybody's computer has a different set of fonts, and blocking browsers from seeing what fonts you have installed would help identify you even more.

A browser extension that limits webpages to default Windows fonts only would eliminate that factor from contributing to identification without flagging it as suspicious. A slightly more robust version could frequently cycle between multiple subsets of default Windows fonts. Say Windows comes with 100 fonts. So you could have thousands of configurations with different subsets of those.

"Just" remove a random 2.5% of the fonts, a different random set per request (context).
