comment rating manipulating

[number004130]

Hi, 

Let's say a news site's comment ratings were easy to manipulate- just go into incognito and you can click + and - until you got bored from opening and closing incognito tabs. 

But they changed it and now it seems to track your network's IP, or smth like that- using two different computers on the same network results in a message"you have already rated this comment" and using VPN and Tor doesn't work either. 

 

Is there a way I can manipulate comment ratings again(it kinda turned into a hobby)? 

It was just the "automotive" section, nothing political.

It looks like they tracks the MAC address. You could research how to spoof it. 
Or at least that is the most used method to get around such things.

thanks, but will this method work for 20 points(20 times)?

MAC addresses are what's known as "link-local" which means, once you leave the link, the source and destination changes. The destination becomes the source and the new destination is whatever is at the next hop.

IP addresses stay the same, aside from NAT which will mask your local addresses as a single public address.

 

For OP to bypass security restrictions I would advice you to read the Community Standards first.
