Million Browser Botnet

Grossman and Johansen show ad networks will run arbitrary attacker JavaScript, so a $0.15 CPM buy rents a million browsers with no exploit or malware. The rented browsers do CSRF, login detection, deanonymisation, intranet scanning, hash cracking and application-level DDoS; a connection-limit bypass using ftp:// image URLs lifts 6 requests per host to about 300.
