Difficulty · moderate Time to first run · 30min

Requires a paid CapMonster API key and a working proxy list, using it to inflate view counts likely violates guns.lol's terms of service.

No license file is mentioned in the README, so usage rights beyond downloading the releases are unclear.

In plain English

This repository contains a command-line tool written in Go that sends repeated automated views to a guns.lol profile. Guns.lol is a website where players share gaming highlight clips and profile stats, and view counts on those profiles are visible to others. This tool generates fake view traffic to make a chosen profile appear more popular than it actually is. The tool spawns multiple concurrent processes so it can send a high volume of requests at once. The number of simultaneous connections is set by the user and is constrained mainly by how many proxy addresses are available. To bypass the site's bot detection, the tool automatically solves two types of security challenges: Cloudflare Turnstile (a captcha system) and a Proof-of-Work puzzle. Solving these challenges is handled through an embedded engine inside the program itself, plus an external captcha-solving service called CapMonster that requires its own paid API key. Proxy support is built in: you supply a text file containing HTTP or HTTPS proxy addresses, and the tool rotates through them so each request appears to come from a different source. Running without proxies is possible but the README discourages it for high thread counts, since all traffic would then originate from a single IP address. Setup requires two files in the same folder as the executable: a config file holding the CapMonster API key, and a proxies file with one address per line. Pre-built executables are provided on the releases page, so no coding knowledge is required. Developers who prefer to compile from source need only a standard Go installation. After the bot runs, the README advises waiting about ten minutes before checking guns.lol, as the platform takes time to sync and display updated view counts.
