HOLY FISH !!!! this is what i got in return !!!
Hello Rohan Pinto,
While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense
account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since
keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage
our advertisers in the future, we've decided to disable your account.
Please understand that we consider this a necessary step to protect the
interests of both our advertisers and our other AdSense publishers. We
realize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you in
advance for your understanding and cooperation.
If you have any questions about your account or the actions we've
taken, please do not reply to this email. You can find more information
by visiting
The Google AdSense Team
This message was sent from a notification-only email address that does
not accept incoming email. Please do not reply to this message.
and this was AFTER I informed them in ADVANCE that I would be trying to obtain a CTR in excess of 2000% !!!! and several email exchanges back and forth regarding the exploit !!!!
they have disabled my test ID as well as my personal adsense ID... isnt the google security team in conversation with the adsense team !!!!
all i can say now is WT-Fish !!! first nobody believes me.. and when i prove it... they kick me in my butt !!!
I'm sending them an email again demanding an explanation for the banning my personal ID for showing them how it workes.... if i was evil i cold have slipped this under the covers and made some serious moolah.
their slogan - "do no evil" - is just a freakin joke !!!
+ someone out here on this forum wanted evidence...is this evidence enough ?
PS: google has not fixed it.. they just banned me. WOW !!! I can still hit a 2000% ctr with any publisher id on the publishers own domain !! this is crazy !!!! remember when i can hit a 2000% CTR I can also hit any variable CTR... so.. a DB of proxies... variable headers, variable CTR's, variable referrers from varied sources would drive em nuts !!

I have two comments to this. Firstly, it's not surprising that they consider you a risk, given that you are clicking on ads and those ads are paid for by others. Secondly, it doesn't surprise me at all that they would treat you like that. They are pretty terrible to security researchers in general. Welcome to the long list of security researchers who have been screwed by Google. You won't be the last.
Now the real question is will Google re-reimburse all those customers? Alas, I highly doubt it. And should that surprise anyone? I wish I could give you better news.

ok i'll extrapolate the backtalks for fun (but what's really horrible, my scenario is probably not so far from reality)
rohanpinto finds critical vuln in adsense (i always consider vulns that screw my clients like that critical. obviously google management does not), and like a good boy he is, PoC it, and report it to google, along with the fix.
a random analyst monkey receives the report, understand the problem, and pass it over to the operations security team, or whatever they have in house to (mis)manage the problems.
the opsec team acknoledges the report, translate it to management hot air, and go drink a beer.
management reads the third report, doesn't understand a word, and don't give a fuck. they see the (small) cost of the fix, and decide the risk/cost factor is too low. they send back orders to opsec team to ban rohanpinto, period, and go back to fucking whatever they can
opsec argues a little that it is *indeed* a bad vuln, management enters dummy mode, and yell things about techies not knowing a thing about risk management, and that banning rohanpinto is the adequate step. opsec bans rohanpinto, and go back drinking beer.
rohanpinto has ethically disclosed a vulnerability that could be leveraged to generate a steady income. kudos to him.
google has once more reacted like the lame bastards they are.
blackhats all over the world are now aware of this, and will start exploiting it for fun and profit (and if the RBN is involved, it would be much more profit than fun) screwing google and google's clients like a granny in the process
once more a lame ass will eruct something about full disclosure not being good.
full disclosure is not, and never been the problem. the problem is the vendor reaction (and yes, you little google management monkey over here, i *do* know about friggin' risk management. that's my fucking job) or what's more, lack of reaction.

@Maklav - no one ever said you needed to be smart to be in management.. and I think you've nailed it right in the head when you point out that management doesn't know sh!t from shinola when it comes to technical things.
Of course, from a management point of view (something I keep running into job after job), us techie types suck at management because management is not getting the job done, it's telling our superiors what great leaders they are. We're not paid to think, we're paid to do what our managers want us to do, even if it was something we were already doing, we need to do it in the order they want it done, or else we're incompetent stupid retard techies.
If I were rohanpinto, I would offer this story to CIO Magazine/Wired Magazine/The New York Times, etc., etc. along with some pretty graphics and charts showing how the customer is the one getting screwed because the Management Monkeys(tm) refuse to fix the problem which they do not even understand. After all, why not use advertising to reveal how advertisers are getting screwed?
I'm sure Management Monkey's bosses will care as soon as that stock price starts heading south...
But that's just my opinion..

@malkav / thrill / rsnake - very very very well said. I get it now....
But I guess google forgot one thing. They did not completely understand the vulnerability. They thought that I could do it only with my id on my site. what they forgot was I could do it with any id on any site...
I'm gonna wait for a while.. and think this through. I "may" communicate with some folks here about what I should be doing... because the vulnerability still exists.. and I could get a lot of publishers into trouble by raising their own CTR to >= 2000% on their own domains.... (or be evil.. and sell an crypt verson of my bot to the blackhats out there...). or disclose this to the adwords advertisers....
I have sent several emails to google demanding an explanation for their actions.. and reminding them that all they did was ban me, and not fix the issue. I'm gonna wait for a while before doing or saying anything further.. I think no matter what their actions were.. they need time... to either.. unban me or fix it. whatever their choice is I am fine with it.. but they need to get back to me on this with some answer... (I will settle for beer too - just kidding...)
untill then my lips are sealed...
After all, why not use advertising to reveal how advertisers are getting screwed?

i don't get that rohanpinto performed any PoC, and maintain that he's a moron.. he ran a bot program to generate false clicks through proxies. whoop-de-fucking do. google won't pay it, it means nothing, and will get you instantly banned, as you experienced. turn your bots down to 2 CTR at unsteady intervals, and then you might generate more than $0. or get banned again. don't care.

I didn't want google to pay me for it.. I just wanted to show them that attaining a CTR >=2000% was possible...
the ban doesnt matter... the existence of the vulnerability still does.. :-)

mate I still don't understand how you consider this a vulnerability? what are google going to do to patch it? there is NO way to distinguish between different IPs sending different headers. The only thing they can do is check for an abundance of clicks in a short period, a repeating pattern, or an over-the-top CTR, which they *already do* - you're just performing click-fraud, which has been around for yeeaaars. it's not a vuln, and you shouldn't try and classify it as one - try and understand that.

@fragge - like I said before, I can keep the CTR as low as .001 or any variable, it's been around for years I agree, but has the ability to publish any ad on any site been around for that long ? and let someone show me how to attain a CTR ratio greater than 100% ... publishers have the ability to setup their adsense profile whereby their publisher id can be used on only their site.. well, i can give publishers a 2000% ctr with their own id on their own site... dont u see how it can be exploited ?
hit refresh as much as you want... it's 1 impression.. click on the ads as much as you want.. it's 1 click... so the max CTR you can attain is 100% right ;-)
it's been a week since this happened: so now uberBOT will get working : http://sla.ckers.org/forum/read.php?7,22089
when the premium publishers get a 2000% CTR, and catch googles attention, then they better do something about it....
bottom line: who looses... not google, it's the advertisers... so google does not really care... they will bill the advertisers for clicks and impressions... but will they payout ? nope.. what next.. the stock price soars...
Now, when the advertisers get robbed, they move to another platform altogether... google gets no money... revenue drops... stock price drops... will it ?i dont know.. i dont care...

yes but the idea of DoSing a publishers ID via false clicks is an *old* idea, and has been employed for years. It's always been exploitable, and this isn't a bug. performing those false clicks on the publishers and creating a 2000% CTR will simply mean that the clicks will be disregarded if it is a big publisher - google treat bigger clients differently, and will protect their assets. Your clicks will most likely be filtered, the publisher won't be charged, the adsense ID won't get banned, and that's pretty much it.. but go for it, i'm all for experiments.. i just don't see this as new in any way. ;<

yep..lets see if it works.. would be an interesting experiment...
The average click fraud of PPC networks such as Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network was at 27.8% an increase from 21.9% from Q1 2007.
and they aint doing anything to stop it... nice... it would be interesting to see the 09 stats..

I haven't heard anything about it, but from what I've seen, Google will still cancel accounts based on these metrics. Personal gains won't be applicable if they shut your account down prior to checks being placed in the mail. Other techniques regarding flying under the wire are preferable.

Cards eye sweep of Braves, league's best record
Co-NL Central leaders start Lynn vs. Minor in finale of four-game set
The back-and-forth National League Central race should gain a little more clarity over the next two weeks, when the Cardinals play 13 games against the Pirates and Reds, with all three teams jockeying for playoff seeding. A series sweep of the Braves, who entered the weekend with the best record in baseball, could prove to be quite the confidence boost ahead of that pivotal stretch.
"We know what the schedule is like ahead of us, but we just try to simplify. We don't put any more focus on one team than another team," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said on Saturday. "As soon as you start falling into that trap, you set yourself up for some serious heartache."
The Cardinals can deal the Braves their first four-game losing streak since mid-June if they come away with a victory on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium, but starter Lance Lynn will need to avoid the big inning if he wants to safely navigate an Atlanta offense that has struggled in three games without right fielder Jason Heyward, who suffered a broken jaw after he was hit by a pitch on Wednesday.
In each of his last three starts, Lynn has had his outing wrecked by one bad frame: a three-run seventh in an Aug. 9 loss to the Cubs, a four-run second inning on the way to a no-decision the next week against Pittsburgh, and most recently, a five-run fourth in the Cardinals' 6-3 loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Atlanta starter Mike Minor will be pitching on three extra days' rest when he takes the mound on Sunday afternoon. He was initially scheduled to get two additional days off thanks to Paul Maholm's return to the rotation, but his start was bumped up to Sunday after Brandon Beachy hit the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
With the Braves nursing a comfortable division lead, Minor was the first of the team's young arms to have his spot skipped in the rotation after stumbling to the shortest start of his career last Saturday against the Nationals. The 25-year-old left-hander allowed four runs on four hits and four walks before being pulled with two outs in the second inning.
"I felt good going into the game, but I felt like they were really patient," Minor said after taking a no-decision in Atlanta's 8-7, 15-inning loss. "I got a lot of the guys with two strikes, 1-2, 2-2 counts, and they just took. I wouldn't say they were very good pitches, but they were a lot more patient tonight, and I couldn't locate on the inner half, couldn't throw any sharp breaking balls, so a lot of those were hangers."
Cardinals: Wainwright passing Carpenter in record books
• Starter Adam Wainwright passed teammate and mentor Chris Carpenter for third place on the all-time franchise strikeout list with nine strikeouts on Friday to push his career total to 1,090, which is only five behind Dizzy Dean for second place in team history. Wainwright also recorded the 95th victory of his career, matching Carpenter's total as a Cardinal.
"I just have to get some postseason numbers like he has and then we'll start talking about comparable careers," Wainwright said on Saturday. "He's been such a horse for so many years that it's just an honor to be in the same conversation."
• After sitting out the first two games of this weekend's series with upper right back discomfort, closer Edward Mujica recorded the final out of Saturday night's 6-2 victory after entering with two on and two out in the ninth inning. It was just the third time Mujica has pitched since Aug. 15.
Braves: Medlen smooths over postgame comments
• In the aftermath of Friday night's 3-1 loss, Kris Medlen expressed his displeasure at being pulled for reliever Scott Downs after putting runners on the corners with no outs in the seventh inning of what was at the time a one-run game.
"I got taken out with 78 pitches," Medlen told reporters on Friday. "I was just starting to have to battle. I didn't have to battle yet. But I wasn't given the opportunity. I guess I'm voicing the fact that I didn't appreciate that. I don't know what kind of mentality we're trying to create for our starters. But I feel like I should be able to work out of some jams."
Before Saturday's game, Medlen apologized to manager Fredi Gonzalez for publicizing his frustration, and Gonzalez declared the matter closed and declined to discuss it further.
"Obviously I wanted to stay in the game," Medlen said on Saturday. "There is something wrong with you if you don't want to stay in the game, whatever the situation is. But I was in a situation where I didn't have much leeway."
Worth noting
• Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina struck out twice on Saturday night, marking just his seventh multi-strikeout game this year. Molina leads the NL with a .336 batting average.
• Braves starter Julio Teheran set a career high with five walks allowed in Saturday night's loss.

Magic Move - A New Type Hair Cosmetics
CwNYCHairFine or Thin HairMedium HairBest Product Used So Far...Im a guy with short, med length fine hair. I picked up the "light" based on the reviews and am happily surprised. Wish Id known about this years ago. $29 at corner salon store - more expensive than what you can buy at the drug store, but definitely worth the extra change.posted Jul 26, 2009Link to this post
TjSoCalSurprised And Not In A Good WayI thought for sure this product would have a lot to offer with all these rave reviews, so ignoring the bad review, I went ahead and bought it. I figured the price must be worth it. Unfortunately, I found out I simply wasted some perfectly good money. I found myself surprised and disappointed upon using this product because I expected something from it. The cheapie $5 "deranged" texturizing wax I get at the local beauty supply store is much better and longer lasting than this product. I have been using this Magic Move Soft for 2 months now (I paid for it, so might as well use it up). I spray my style with strong hairspray after using Magic Move and it still flops and wears out (chunking style disappears) within 2 hours and Im not in a humid climate, nor do I have thick, difficult hair. In my opinion, this product is no better than the $3 junk the major brands pass off in the grocery store as texturizing/chunking products.posted Apr 15, 2008Link to this post
OscarSan Francisco, CABest Stuffmy hairstylist uses this on my head. (the red one.) it does exactly what it says! your hair actually moves, but still stays styled. just like magic. its perfect for messy choppy spiky styles without giving you the shellac-ed look of other products. great value too! the big one (4.2oz) is about the same price as what youd pay for the teeny tiny tiny one (1.7oz) at the salon.posted Mar 7, 2008Link to this post

RobSan Francisco, CAWon't Use Anything ElseMy stylist recommended Magic Move Soft (yellow bottle) to me a bit more than a year ago. I was looking for something that will keep my hair looking natural (no sign of hair product of any kind), will hold all day even through wind, doesnt have a strong smell if any, and is easily washed out with water. If this is what you are looking for look no further. The only catch is that you should have your hair completely dry before applying--no problem. Also, try not to keep it in storage for more than 8 months as it will dry out and crack after that time. You can revive the stuff by rubbing in a bit of water, but its a hassle.posted Sep 25, 2007Link to this post

Add a little hairspray and good to go for the day.Ive used this product for years and wouldnt change -- its that good.posted Sep 19, 2007Link to this post
JeremyLos AngelesGreat, Great Product; The Only One That Works For Me!First, whatever you do, you have to get the yellow tub. The red is ok, but the yellow is superb. I heard about this product from my stylist at Jonathan Salon in LA. He recommended this product without even pushing any of the salons products AT ALL. Right away after my haircut he just told me, "I know what you need; magic move." Seriously, this stuff holds your hair in place without making it crunchy, hard, or anything like that. It doesnt make your hair sticky, and it also doesnt make your hair wet; hair stays a nice matte/dry look and doesnt clump together; instead, you get a nice full, thick and even head of hair. It really does last all day like the ads say. Some people dont have good reviews about this product, but Ive never tried a product that worked so perfectly for my hair when everything else failed. I dont know what Im going to do if they stop making this stuff, as many other will say.posted Sep 1, 2007Link to this post
ValBostonFrizz FreeI have fine, frizzy, poofy hair. I wear my hair up almost all the time so I only blow dry my bangs. This is the first product that keeps my hair from bending and frizzing in the humidity. I have never been able to keep my bangs straight in the summer before. It does not make them hard or sticky. In the morning on non shampoo days, I dont even wet my hair, just blow dry for a second and its back in place. I have had mixed results with a full blow dry, but I just need to experiment some more with the amount. I put it on wet hair, dry hot and finish with the cold air. Thats the key. I buy the yellow and it lasts for ages. I highly recomend this if you hate frizz.posted Aug 7, 2007Link to this post
