The Dead & Buried need your help!

[X-13]

Now children. Your home work tonight is research into internet voting systems...

 

I'm 3 steps ahead of you.

 

I've already hacked an online voting system to force a winner. [OK, it was a test hack... and it was a while ago.]

 

 

Judging from the site layout and design, I'm not confident in their ability to detect it. Or, to be more accurate, I doubt they could prove it was hacked.

I'm going to suggest nobody does this... they might not be able to prove it, but if @Domino 's band suddenly gets 500 votes in the space of an hour, they may disqualify them...

 

Another 2 votes coming your way

[sonofsanta]

Done... currently 5 votes behind (202 v 197) but they've had 11 today to your 40 so you might be on a last minute surge

 

You're also 184 votes ahead of number 3, so yeah, two horse race.

I was going to edit that in... Then curiosity took over and I found myself examining the source.

 

Also, 203 to 199 [against] 45 votes today.

woo 205

[elsiegee40]

Just wondering if this thread should go BTRD... just in case @Domino? We don't want the other band to raise accusations of cheating.

 

Perhaps you could report your own opening post to request it?

[Domino]

Nahhhh, let em see - we've nothing to hide. We're honest, trustworthy types here....

[X-13]

We don't want the other band to raise accusations of cheating.

 

Accusations are fine, provided they are investigated properly.

 

Everything is legit, so any investigation would turn up no proof of foul play.

 

 

However, if the accusation is taken at face value and assumed to be true...

I'd love if those of you with a rock/metal leaning would have a listen and, if you think we're worthy, press the little vote button next to our name: I'd be very grateful.

 

I think that covers them should any accusations be made

 

It's all part of it anyway, rallying support, just look at the X-Factor lot touring schools etc. for votes (not that I'm comparing your band @Domino to anything on the X-Factor!)

Also! anyone who can stomach our music should check out the new song from Devil Sold His Soul.

 

It's very good. Even those of you with lighter tastes would enjoy from 3:30 on..

I was tempted to provide some [lounge] jazz in response...

 

But, I'm not going to. That would be rude.

 

 

[if you're interested, it's called Spider8ite (Thief of Lounge mix). Also, the entirety of Midnight Crew: Drawing Dead.]

[6Foot2]

Voted again from home.

 

Those Dirty Words: 369 votes [178 today] vs Dead And Buried: 278 votes [121 today]

[SYNACK]

How are they doing it?

 

Depends on if they are using IP tracking or more likely 12h cookie tracking to prevent duplicates (if they run checking at all) it is a simple case of messing with the post form.

[elsiegee40]

Correction... it let me vote but the total didn't go up

 

 

It's IP tracking

Edited June 21, 2012 by elsiegee40

[SYNACK]

I think it must be Cookie tracking. I've just voted from 3 different browsers on the same machine to test it

 

Just tried it with a second user in Chrome and voted there too.

 

So disabling cookies or multiple InPrivate/Incogneto tabs along with the URL of the gateway page would bypass it quite easily. Not that I am suggesting that in case they are tracking / logging for checks later if things look squiffy at the end and ethics ad all that.

Never mind the above then
