Found adwords loophole

The mac address never leaves your local network.

Chrome does not store MAC addresses as per Chrome version 33 (long time ago)

If you are using the AdWords client however, they can surely see footprints - but the regular AdWords editor does not utilize MAC-addresses, simply because it's not possible - and if possible (via extensions, applets etc) it's not sustainable as to give a good enough coverage.

I noticed device ID is taken for every addition of a card to an account

Can you explain how they are able to use this to identify a PC even after a change in the OS

I have seen this several time especially on slow networks

I discovered it through the errors printed on screen

Just an internal hash, based on your browser's fingerprint.

That includes:
User agent
Accept headers
Installed plugins
Timezone
Screen size
System fonts
Language
Platform
IP-address

And probably a few more. These are all thrown into an algoritm to generate a unique ID that will follow you.

But - this is far from the MAC address, and you'd get rid of the fingerprint by mixing these values up.

Just a simple tool to change your IP, user agents, timezone and system fonts + icognito is more than enough to stay under their radar - yet people spend tens of thousands of dollars on VPS to create mass accounts


Edit:
Seems like there is a tool for it already.

Enjoy, it'll work beautifully + will increase success rate for stuff like mass creating IG accounts or anything else.
