MASSIVE BOTNET from the "Alt-Right" racists using script that upvotes all posts on the_donald, downvotes posts of targeted users (self.EnoughTrumpSpam)

BonerSmack が 投稿

Yes, we finally have proof of reddit being gamed.

Yesterday I asked if anyone with the technical skill could provide proof of what I assumed was the obvious "botnet" upvoting all the posts in /r/the_donald.

Out of many, one user actually found the script that is being used by Trumpsters in conjunction with reddit enhancement suite and grease monkey to game the reddit upvote system. (Edit: This isn't a bot net, but something that can easily be made into a botnet).

It adds these two buttons to the top of RES. I installed the script and tested it to verify that it worked and it wasn't merely spam - guess what?

It works.

If you click "Upvote all" in /r/the_donald (or any other sub like /r/hillaryforprison) it slowly scrolls down the screen and downvotes everything. If you go to the new queue of /r/enoughtrumpspam or /r/politics and "downvote all" - every single post gets downvoted.

So that explains a lot of what has been happening here, but that's not all it does.

It also has a section dedicated to targeting specific reddit users for downvotes, and specifically targeting the_donald redditors for upvotes. The question, as always, is whether any of the people named in the bot for upvotes be banned?

The botnet script is being posted repeatedly on 4chan/8chan - I assume it has been in use for quite a long time.

For months, the Trump conspiracy mongers on reddit have been throwing accusations of shilling and downvote brigades at everyone who disagreed with them - without proof. Yet now we actually have proof they are the ones doing it.

But will anyone do anything about it? This has been going on for months and months. Don't hold your breath.

tl;dr

I found a script that Trumpsters are using to:

1) Upvote all posts that flatter Trump, helping to push all the the_donald posts to the front page.

2) Downvote all posts they don't like, massively downvoting /r/enoughtrumpsspam and /r/politics etc.

3) Target specific redditors for mass downvotes.

4) Target specific redditors for mass upvotes.

Screencaps of the post for when it is removed: First ...... second.

Edit 1: People are asking whether this has been reported or not. Don't assume anyone is reporting it at all. Many eyes will be on this post, but most people will think everyone else is reporting this to the admins. That's not enough. One or two reports from me and one or two others aren't going to set off any alarms.

Link to share your concern with the admins:

Edit 2: Don't flood the admins with requests, this post received more attention than I thought it would. They are aware of it.

Edit 3:

SHOCKING DROP OFF IN UPVOTES

Every day for months, I have sorted the_donald by Top/24 hours to see where the top 50 posts stood in terms of upvotes. Usually the top 40 were solidly in the 3Ks before they started to hit 2.9K and lower.

Today for the first time in months only the top ten are above 3k, an enormous drop off in upvotes. either someone 1) temporarily turned off the bot while the admins are watching, or 2) the admins found the vote manipulation and negated a whooooooooooollleee bunch of upvotes.

It's true. Every day I would check. And now the number of displayed votes have dropped off a cliff:

PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME THEY ARE TIRED OF INCOMPETENT ADMINS RUNNING THIS WEBSITE.

WHEN THEY SEE THE ADMINS TAKING MONEY FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN THEY KNOW REDDIT IS GOING TO HELL.

What we want are admins who can win. And I think we have admins that can win.

They will build great code like nobody can build great code. Nobody builds code like they do. And they will make the_donald campaign pay for it.

When the_donald sends its people they are not sending their best. The_donald is sending its bots, and its /r/redpill rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. One of the problems we have is that good people don't go to the_donald. That's why it is such a disgrace.

But believe me. I think, ultimately, the admins will make reddit great again.

Even the female admins, you know, even with blood coming out of their wherevers, can be good when they aren't so emotional.

We have the best admins, folks, the greatest admins. Aren't they the greatest folks?

The people over in the_Donald, they have no education, no Healthcare, no opportunity. What have they got to lose by vote manipulation? I tell you, believe me folks, you browse that front-page and become afraid that you might get shot.

Incredibly crooked, crooked people. Believe me.

We have to go to Bill Gates and ask him about what's going on, and get his help to maybe close up some of these internet areas. Really wicked people folks. Obama? He's been doing nothing about this. nothing believe me. And I have a lot of people - very smart, credible, anonymous people- who tell me that he's the founder. Obama is the MVP and I mean that literally. And by that I mean sarcastically. But not that sarcastically.

          They might ban a bunch of users, but don't expect them to quarantine or ban /r/The_Retard. They can't afford even the appearance of partisan impropriety on reddit's part.

          We are talking about the biggest subreddit for one of the major party candidates. Banning it would become a major news story and the Trumpettes get to cry about "crooked liberal media" and shit.

          I expect the admins will allow /r/The_DumspterFire to burn until Trump loses the election in November and the /pol/ trolls find something else to occupy their time.

          Yup. They should be banned and quarantined just like /r/fph was. A campaign build on stupidness and hate should not be tolerated, even more so with* the reddit rules being broken.

          It's an interesting conundrum.

          I called it months ago that reddit is still too goddamned autistic to realize they are being trolled by 4chan. Ironically that post was downvoted into oblivion.

          But now we have a situation were those trolls have actually cornered the admins quite well... If they act against the blatant trolling then they must create publicity for DT, the anti-liberal.

          Wtf can they do but just let it run its course? Which really only represents the lesser of two evils, the trolling from that sub is potent stuff for histrionic Millennials. Allowing it to continue to spite Trump still keeps him top of mind and only has the benefit of quarantining that effect to reddit and not creating a big stink that will run on Breitbart and every other nationalist rag. But then again at least that stink would burn bright then disappear, as opposed to the slow burn of meme magic from now until November.

            "MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA SITE BANS GIANT PRO-TRUMP DISCUSSION BOARD"

            The alt-right is already good at pushing the "we're being censored" crap, this would give them way too much to work with. Yes, anyone who actually looks at the facts will agree that they don't deserve to keep their sub. But fake free-speech outrage spreads way too quickly online.

            The best we can hope for from admins is that they continue to push back to a moderate degree: keep them from monopolizing /r/all, ban individual offenders, etc.

            [–]Ishmael1217 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

            Very little people in the real world have any idea what /r/the_donald is and most of those that do think it is satire. I really don't think that there would be any real backlash other than a garbage shitpost storm for a day like when /r/fatpeoplehate was banned and a nasty article from breitbart, who nobody really cares about. I just don't see reddit losing on advertising or appearing unfair. In fact I'm sure the Trump ads would remain.

                I don't favor deleting a sub just because of who it supports, but at this point /The_Delicate is coontown/Stormfront, so if the admins are going to pretend to have some kind of policy where there's a basic standard of human decency expected, they should apply it evenly. That sub is a cesspool of overt racism and online harassment.

                                It is crazy how far they can bury their heads in the sand. They really think that /r/politics went towards Hillary after the convention, not because people preferred her message, but because of manipulation that needs 'balancing.' How convenient that the polls that mirrored that shift were also 'biased' and needing 'balancing.' So much denial.

                                  Let's do this!

                                  1. Vote manipulation is against the site rules
                                  2. The definitions of vote manipulation are:
                                  • Using multiple accounts, voting services, or any other software to increase or decrease vote scores.
                                  • Asking people to vote up or down certain posts, either on Reddit itself or through social networks, messaging, etc. for personal gain.
                                  • Forming or joining a group that votes together, either on a specific post, a user's posts, posts from a domain, etc.

                                  .3. This script being used

                                  • Is software used to increase and decrease vote scores.
                                  • Posted on the social networks, 4chan and 8chan, asking to upvote or downvote certain subs.

                                  Besides brigading obvious friendly / unfriendly subs

                                  • The group then upvotes and downvotes specific subreddit and users' posts.

                                  This is vote manipulation, admins.

                                  I'm just laughing at how much t_d whined about censorship on reddit, yet here is another piece of evidence they commit censorship abroad in other subs, to silence dissenting opinions. If they want to have their confined safe space, that's one thing, but running amok with their dishonest and cheating tactics is a whole new playing field of deceit.

                                  I don't think it's working. I'm not getting heavy downvotes. (yet)

                                  I think that auto -1 we get these days, is just part of reddit's vote blurring algorithm. I think they switched it up a couple weeks ago, and now it can auto subtract one or more right off the back.

                                        Also you can tell stuff like this was happening when the truly bad, lacking-in-any-appeal shitposts get a lot of upvotes. Especially when they're old, tired and/or reposts.

                                        What surprises and angers me is that I'm not on the downvote list. I've been doing something wrong, obviously. I feel so inadequate.

                                            Sandsforprez. occured naturally as a movements among likeminded people, while sometimes annoying it never had a sever ideological conflict with the userbase. /r/the_donald on the other hand...?

                                            It's so clear that this entire scenario is just trolls from /pol/ and stormfront targeting an site because of the political leanings in it.

                                              Aside from automatically tagging people, this has nothing to do with RES. Banning it would break one feature (which could easily be replaced) and the rest would keep working.

                                              Also, because RES is a client-side thing, it's pretty much impossible to ban unless reddit becomes a flash or java applet.

                                              Seems like this only uses RES to take advantage of "never ending Reddit". That way it can tab, click, tab, click pretty much indefinitely. If you take away RES, they'll only be able to hit 25 posts at a time.

                                              Remember, they could've written and deployed this script in response to the algorithm changes.

                                              I doubt there's any great way to see when they started executing it, but, there might be.

                                              Meanwhile, if they're doing this, they likely had a script that was gaming the old system anyway. I knew such a large number of redditors couldn't possibly be Trump supporters!

                                              1a. Find users who upvote a lot in r/T_D

                                              1b. Examine the script to see what time interval between upvotes it uses.

                                              2. Scan accounts identified in 1a for strings of upvotes with the interval identified in 1b.

                                              3. Look for the earliest of these strings of upvotes, that's when it started to get popular among T_D users. (Identifying the actual very first implementation would involve skipping 1a and applying 2 to all Reddit accounts.)

                                              You would characterize the behaviors, and track them with some kind a state machine. Like detecting network hackers.

                                                Trump's American support comes from the poorly educated. Therefore, it's safe to assume all this scripting was done by the best and brightest the Kremlin has to offer.

                                                For those that won't see the /s, the script is actually very basic javascript/jquery anyone could learn

                                                These are people supporting a man who said he was going to talk to Bill Gates about locking down the Internet. Don't be fooled into overestimating their intelligence. :)

                                                I think it can be equally as dangerous to underestimate their intelligence. Look at Ted Cruz, Robert Mercer, Ben Carson -- you can be extremely intelligent or capable in one domain and batshit crazy in others. Those people (like technically competent Trump supporters) scare me much more than the ones whose intelligence I'd overestimate.

                                                I'm not under-estimating Trump supporters simply because I disagree with them. In fact, this is the first time in my 25 years as a voting-age American where I've honestly thought supporters for the other side were less intelligent than me. Sure, I've joked about it in the past but plenty of very smart people voted for Bush, Dole, Bush Jr, McCain, Romney...

                                                Yes, it's usually tactically wise to assume your opponent is at least as intelligent as you are. In Trump's case I truly think it's more accurate to assume his American supporters are mental lightweights. The polls and stats even support it.

                                                  Nice detective work! Can add "cheating the system" to the already existing "it's a hate group" on the list of reasons the sub might deserve to join the "blacklisted" invisible subs.

                                                  Knowing Reddit there would be a colossal shitstorm about censorship if the sub was indeed hidden though. I wonder what other possible actions Reddit could take. Perhaps new ways to detect voting patterns that are clearly and obviously targeted vote manipulation?

                                                  I think they might already have this; it could have been part of what they did with the front page algorithm a while ago. From an administration standpoint it's not necessarily a bad idea to detect wrongdoing and then instead of completely banning and hiding things, just cordon off the detected crap so it doesn't deface the public face of the site; this way the people doing the vote manipulation still feel like they're getting away with something and might not feel the need to step up the creativity of their hackery and vandalism as soon.

                                                  But I'm pretty much just talking through my hat here.

Shilling is hard work, but we get a lot from the Saudis to make it all worth it. They even gave us a nice office. Have a shilltastic day.

                                                    You are right, this isn't proof of a botnet itself, but it is proof that the script can be attached to a simple botnet for vote manipulation. This is just proof of massive votegaming using a script.

                                                    I mean, I will do it right now (actually, I just sent it), but this has going on for months - they don't really care, or don't have the tools to detect it themselves.

                                                    Otherwise they would have stopped it and banned those involved already.

I get that stuff is holding them back in some ways with handling it but it's just surprising that so few actions ever seem to be taken against a sub that breaks that many rules.

                                                      I am a web developer. It would take just a few hours to create such a script, I think. Shouldnt be that difficult.

                                                      The script posted does add two menu items, but I dont see the code that does the up and downvoting. But it sounds not too hard to write that, just loop through the upvote or downvote buttons and click them from code.

                                                      The code that does the up and downvoting is right there in the screenshot. 

                                                      // Select the first div with the up class and click it
// On upvote, the div no longer has class `up`
// So when repeated on a timeout, it will iterate through posts yet to be upvoted
$("div.up").first().click();

                                                        I think this is something reddit admins could feasibly detect with a little bit of analytics querying and retroactively ban. Human behavior is much more stochastic, so constructing a time-series of differences can give you insight (moreso the more it's used) 

                                                        SET @vote_type="upvote", @subreddit="the_donald", @lower_s=0.300, @upper_s=0.650;
SELECT prior.user_id,
prior.vote_id,
prior.timestamp,
next.timestamp,
timestampdiff('second', prior.timestamp, next.timestamp) 
FROM user_votes `prior`
LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT user_id, vote_id, timestamp
    FROM user_votes
    WHERE subreddit = @subreddit 
        AND vote_type = @vote_type
) `next`
    ON (prior.user_id = next.user_id 
        AND next.vote_id = (
            SELECT min(vote_id) FROM user_votes `compare`
            WHERE compare.vote_id > prior.vote_id
            AND compare.user_id = next.user_id
            AND subreddit = @subreddit
            AND vote_type = @vote_type
        )
    )
WHERE prior.vote_type = "upvote"
    AND prior.subreddit = @subreddit
    AND next.vote_id is not null
GROUP BY prior.user_id, prior.vote_id
HAVING timestampdiff('second', prior.timestamp, next.timestamp) 
    BETWEEN @lower_s AND @upper_s

                                                        Btw do you know how this line works:

                                                        function get_rand(min, max) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min; }

                                                        yeah, so take two variables min, max (100, 300).  
The return scheme looks like 100 + floor((201)*[0,0.9999])
So this returns a min of ~100 and a max of 100 + floor(201*0.999) = 100 + 200 = 300.

                                                        So this function basically just gives you a random int number in that range, because the Math.random() function returns between 0 and 1.

                                                          Does this break any of Reddit's TOS? Doesn't sound like it would serve any purpose besides vote manipulation if this is allowed.

                                                          Running $("div.up").first() in the console throws an error saying that first isn't a function. $("div.up") shows the next upvote button in the console. $("div.up").click() clicks the upvote button. So either that script wouldn't work, I'm missing something or reddit admins have already broken the script.

                                                          Edit: I'm going to assume the thing I'm missing is greasemonkey.

                                                          It works in firefox. For whatever reason the chrome console jquery doesn't have this function even though it was introduced in like 1.4 or something. It could also be that it's not getting jQuery selected which would then default to getElementbyid (which doesn't have a first method on its return)

A botnet is a large number of computers that are spread out and act in coordination based on a signal being sent via some control pathway (how that happens I'm not entirely sure).

These kinds of scripts have been making rounds for as long as I can remember, and I first started using Reddit in 2007... Reddit has countermeasures that silently negate this kind of thing. Theres honestly nothing to see here.

                                                            So fucking honorless. What is it that makes abandoning their integrity so easy for them?

                                                            Who the fuck wants to win if you have to cheat to do it? Turns my fucking stomach.

                                                            Boy, it's been a long time since I bothered with this bullshit. It hasn't been easy staying out of the Trumptardation striking reddit. But frankly they aren't worth bothering with.

                                                            I'm not surprised the people who complain about shills the most are actually said shills themselves. From /pol/ to Stormfront, T_D is a subreddit that's been invaded by Trump supporters from all over the internet in order to "uncuck Reddit" (aka, push the alt-right agenda), so to speak.

                                                            Fantastic find despite your title being misleading. Too bad there's zero chance the sub will be banned due to this, or for any reason in the future. They've extremely blatantly brigaded other subs before (the worst I've seen in 4 years on the site by far), repeatedly, and the admins took no overt widespread action.

                                                            They are even doing it on Disqus. Go to the comments in this article. Look at frankgrey765's comment, its the top one with the NBC link. All his upvotes are from accounts with no comments and painfully fake usernames. The link leads to malware

                                                            Ah right. When you can't get anywhere with your intellectual deficiencies, just yell really loud to make up for it.

                                                            The Ron Paul brigades had a similar bot in previous years. It would automatically downvote any criticism of Ron Paul from a list of flagged users.

                                                            They punish for that with a ban

                                                            But if it's (hypothetically) tied to a specific subreddit? Anything that could maybe come from that?
