Back when you could create accounts with usernames instead of emails, I wrote a c# program that would generate a random user/password/DOB, go through the three web forms, and create an account. I integrated this with TOR so that on every third account, I'd switch IPs to prevent throttling. I'd let the thing run almost constantly and ended up with thousands of accounts.

I sold these account lists to botters who would then go on to to their thing. Made a decent amount of money from this too!



it'd be interesting to make a mmorpg game that was entirely based on building bots. an MMORPG Programming idle.

Plus i can use any web assembly language? My dreams of a rustacean based empire are about to be realized. Bye Bye productive work for the day.
