Thread 105698977

Why use a bunch of laptops instead of people servers?
What's the benefit of that?

>>105698977 (OP)
by using phones, you get a cleaner fingerprint. that means less captchas. and some apps will only work on phones

>>105698977 (OP)
It's a shill farm. There used to be a lot of videos of them being operated out of China and America. They'd have hundreds of them mounted to work spaces with one person running around tapping on them whenever the bot got stuck.

>>105699048
Basically this. It's so they look like unique devices. Phone has a cleaner fingerprint because of the SIM card and the fact that a lot of phone applications won't let you access their services if they detect they're being run in an emulator.

no bullshit
the real reason is that they want to run ARM software, and ARM servers are expensive and inefficient in emulating android. 2+GiB ram per emulator on the low side, and 2 or more cores locked.
stolen/used phones are not expensive. as evidenced by the fact theyre all random colors mixed inside the racks.

I wish these niggers would just leave /vg/ alone

>>105698977 (OP)
Why would you need to do that when you could just run a shitload of Android Studio instances on little VMs?

>>105699290
Read the thread, retard

>>105698977 (OP)
Damn, no wonder Hasbara failed then.

>>105699094
They don't even need to be stolen to keep costs down, used phones one or two generations old (especially if they aren't flagship bullshit you don't need for a bot farm) can be bought in bulk for literal pennies on the Dollar.

>>105698977 (OP)
imagine the battery bloat

>>105698977 (OP)
I don't get it, why aren't those phones VMs? This is a colossal waste of power and space.

>>105699827
I'll sit.

>>105698977 (OP)
Those are phones not laptops, how was that not obvious?
Actually wait, what's a "people server"?
And further more do you have a source for that information about who is using that particular phone farm? I'm not saying phone farms aren't totally abhorrent or that Isreal shills aren't really using one, I just don't want to say something wrong and totally discredit my entire point. A tiktok caption isn't a source.

>>105699827
I agree, Jews are very hateful and so Jewish hatred needs to be stopped.

Imagine the power consumption.

>>105700574
you can run this off grid with a few solar panels. 10W/phone is enough to run+charge. screens are off, modem is off, its only the SOC drawing current.

>>105700853
>modem is off
then what's the point of it?

>>105700876
the point is running ARM software. you dont need a modem for that. guess what USB cable does, besides power.

It's missiles being fired at Israel by Iran, some of them are being intercepted

you're probably thinking you're smart by asking "uhh why arent they using emulators???"

the real reason is, most social media now uses hardware attestation like SafetyNet/Play Integrity. emulators and vm cant do that. using actual hardware IS the smarter and easier way.

>>105701210
there is zero technical reason why any of this couldnt emulated. its just cheaper not to.

>>105700492
>>105701073
this, but its also neat because its upper atmosphere and the bursts from the continuous-rod warheads of the interceptors are very visible
>missiles are cool, and always know where they are

>>105700322
omg are those jew space lazors

>>105701237
there is no way to bypass the latest Play Integrity checks as far as i know. and most older version of apps that uses the older SafetyNet standard are no longer connecting to their server.

>>105700492
Israel's Iron Dome

>>105701351
> as far as i know
sums it up pretty well
you dont have to bypass any "latest" whatever whatsoever. 10 year old phones are still able to run the meta apps, you could just emulate that. the price is the only real reason. configure a 256gb 128 core ARM server, and compare that with the cost of buying ~64 used phones.

>>105701685
Yeah and this is Israel we're talking about here. I'd be surprised if they didn't have copies of whatever certificates keys and secrets are required for a valid play protect attestation.

How can I unlock this power

Thats every every modern military

This is why hashchan is the biggest value add to the crypto industry

When it hits critical mass theyll have to add ethereum to their expeditures. So naturally there will be less spam and more gains for bag holders

I'm actually quite surprised my website, protected by cloudflare, hasn't received more spam. I don't even have captchas for posting.

>>105698977 (OP)
What software do they use to simulate touch events on the phone? Can any apps detect it?

>>105703633
Probably are simulating usb keyboard/mouse.

>>105703633
On android there's a program called input. You can use it to send events like strokes and taps. I had a stupid gacha game that wanted me to watch a bunch of junk for gems or whatever. I automated it that way. I did a few other things. The limitation with the app is the speed, but without root it's the only way. Something like
adb shell input touchscreen tap 1400 100

>>105703587
You you think potential spammer sniff your site for cloudflare first before preceeding?

>10 year old phones are still able to run the meta apps
umm sweaty....not anymore. recently they've cracked down on old version of apps/phones.
have you tried loading Whatsapp and Facebook/Facebook Lite? either on an Android 5.1 VM or actual hardware?

>>105701210
another reason is because, even if you dont use native apps that requires attestation, using socmed thru the web browser now requires phone number verification. you need a sim card for that. using cheap used phones with sim card is the best way.

>>105707282
>recently they've cracked down on old version of apps/phones
this is ironcally a GOOD thing. not only it stop botnets running on old versions, it also stop poor turdworlders that /g/ hates so much.
and yet, /g/ chuds and troons sethe and dilate about attestation because of """"noooo muh heckin privooocy"""""

>>105698977 (OP)
Might be because the country those laptops operate in has a population of only around 10 million people. And they're culturally insular.

>>105698977 (OP)
is this where all the "advertising" clicks come from?

>>105699134
Please tell us about how they are botting your /vg/ thread

>>105704212
Sorry, straightforward and no-bullshit means bitchy now

>>105707489
they just have this circular behavior tree that becomes obvious. its like watching a rabbit run a circle or a dog or horse trying to get infront of another one and then turning around when you get to the shoulder line.
