I beat rigged giveaways with a bot

Unfair giveaways, you've probably encountered them at least once in your life. In this video I use the power of technology & code to beat them!
The most unfair type of giveaway, referral based giveaways, have a system that either gives you more points (where the more points you have, the higher your chances of winning (or in some cases even guarantee a win)) or more entries for each person you "refer" using a specific link. This is not only unfair in the context of giveaways but also rather unethical if they have no "limit" to just how much you can refer, resulting in some pretty ridiculous situations where people have 1000%+ more points than you, which is really.... bad
Want to join us on discord? You can do so here: / discord
Because of this I went ahead and created a series of programs that automate the referral process with both a generator and verifier, both were made using python
The code for the Mail Server can [PARTIALLY] be found here:
github.com/KianBrose/smtp_mai...
(I redacted the parts that actually verify entries, so it can be customized how you wish)
If you read this far, thank you ^^
DISCLAIMER: This video was recorded months ago and allowed for a delay between when this was recorded and now, meaning that the company behind it; after being contacted with these issues has had more than enough time to fix any potential vulnerabilities that were partially shown in this video in a comedic educational way. All prizes were forfeited and no damage was done.

[@KianBrose]

So this video took a long time to make.... Sorry about that 🤣 Ty for reading & watching! EDIT: I did win some of the giveaways but did not claim any of the prizes due to moral implications and not doing this to win in the first place, I wanted to show just how easy it was to cheat on these (and thereby win as a consequence). EDIT 2: We have a discord btw: discord.gg/8NcumxN

The moral of this story is: when you have a giveaway make sure you have atleast a basic captcha.

[@jtpjtg9189]

But the bots can also do the captcha or hire people to do them

[@Rose225.]

Captcha bots are easy to produce I know a few people who make them

a very good question, the answer of which I am curious to find out as well. He might win on any of those bot accounts so if he made it so if any of those got a winning email the program will alert him on which he might have a big chance

[@KianBrose]

Yes, multiple, but I had to forfeit prizes and have the accounts wiped to not get any trouble for doing it, additionally there was multiple months delay between filming, me telling them about the issue and this upload so it should all be good legally
