It's mildly interesting that ethics are flexible depending on the target, but from a technical standpoint this project is not interesting. The code just builds a proxy list, generates a random number, opens a page, and posts the payload. I work with selenium and this isn't solving any interesting problems whatsoever.

Posting it is unethical, and it's disappointing to find on the front page of HN.

30 years ago, on IRC, doing the same would have been considered a fun hack, and a tongue-in-cheek motivational project for beginners.

Different generation I suppose.

Some people will try this exploit to get free stuff. in the 90s it would have been a few dozen at most, now it would be thousands. It ceases to be tongue-in-cheek when it becomes onerous.

My guess is more than the anomally will be detected and the hack will be blocked in 2 days.

Compared to the free phone hack with the cereal whistle that everybody though was so cool...
