Blyaunte Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have to admit the term "karma" really does come to mind ... :thumbsup: Edit: I would like to add that, for some time now, I've said that the botters will likely reap their just desserts, because it was entirely likely that these programs carried with them keyloggers and/or other similar programming. It comes as no surprise to me that this may now have happened. For certain, while I was fishing on Feb 1, I certainly did notice far fewer bots around, although I thought it more likely that everyone was out PKing and not fishing. That said, I have seen the return of bots to the fishing spots in Catherby, although not in the record numbers that predicted would happen after they re-instituted "Cheatscape". :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Lord Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I wondered if this was the reason. I knew there was an open-source bot that most of the people in the CT dragons and ess mines were using. If it was open-source, why didn't they check the code for scripts that sent their login details to the owners of the client?

Youmu Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Just wait until a new free botting program goes viral. Then you'll see even more bots everywhere. Which is a pity.True that. For all we know maybe these botters are creating whole new bots which will take over Runescape :ohnoes: Oh well, for now I guess this is good news.

Shadiochao Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 No matter who did it, why did they wait so long to actually make their move? If they've been collecting this information, surely they would have done something before now, I mean nobody knew free trade would come back until recently.There were still ways to transfer gold before, considering they're already breaking the rules by hacking people I doubt they'd have a problem with abusing bugs to do it back then.

"recently" was months ago. If I were the one collecting all those IDs/passwords from a public bot? I would definitely have waited at least that long to start emptying the accounts. I mean, as soon as you start cleaning out the accounts your credibility is shot, so you'd have to hold onto all of it until you've gotten the number of accounts you're after. That's just if it were me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pal2002 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This is basicallly one RWT sites hacking its competitor. And for what it's worth, they did a much BETTER job than Jagex in punishing those cheaters. It's too bad that the hack only affeted maybe a small (but significant) portion of the botters. I personally hope this hacking war continues between the 2 bot/rwt providers. If this continues, it's a better cheating deterrant than whatever Jagex is offering. (BUY YOUR BANNED ACCOUNT BACK??

anonymouse_ Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 What's funny about this post is that I'm pretty sure you yourself are a botter. Why would you know this information unless you are directly associated with these botting sites. Most people don't know that the most popular botting site is run by the gold selling site. Most people also don't know about the login names and passwords being stored. I've seen screenshots of your accounts and it's pretty obvious you bot judging from your stats and wealth.How do I know this stuff myself? take a guess.I read botting forums. I wondered if this was the reason. I knew there was an open-source bot that most of the people in the CT dragons and ess mines were using. If it was open-source, why didn't they check the code for scripts that sent their login details to the owners of the client?It's constantly being updated, could have been sneaked in at any time. I'm guessing your runecrafting experience will be coming to a halt. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:I stopped rcing maybe a week ago, after completing my goal of top 2k rank.

n64jive Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 From what I heard, it wasn't the client owners who hacked the accounts, but rather the maker of the "scripts"... Apparently, the bot is an open-source API that can store passwords for doing task that require a login (such as switching worlds). The people who developed the API allowed the "script" to access the methods that have access to username and password. Anyone who knows anything about programming would be able to spot the malicious code, however most of RS players are 12 year old kids who don't really have the brain capacity to understand programming (yes, some kids are able to at that age. If you wanna make that argument, you missed the point of my post).... Also these kids opted for precompiled versions of the "scripts". Not that hard to release a legit scrpt, and also post a precompiled version which is from a different source which contains malicious code. Moral of the story: Hacking botters is like stealing candy from a baby. PS: I am currently about to graduate with a degree in CENG. I haven't played runescape since High School, and when I did, I never macroed due to the fact that I really didn't understand (or even care to understand) programming until college. This was mainly due to growing up in a rural town where the high school electives were limited. With the knowledge I have now, I would be interested to see how advanced these API's are for these bots. I make a substantial income, so I have no reason try and "get into the business", but if kids can learn basic programming from these bots, then I would argue that a person who bots and writes there own code to do so deserves way more respect then a "legit" player who wastes his days playing a game. That's just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuidesForScapers Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The most popular free bot client collected and stored every user's login details, resulting in a lot of accounts having their banks cleaned shortly after the free trade update. If someone you know had their banks cleaned recently, they were probably using these bots. The bot site was since taken down by the owners, coincidentally also the owners of one of the biggest rwt sites. So if you've noticed a large drop in the number of bots recently, this is why. Fun stuff :thumbup: :thumbup:The site wasn't taken down. It is being DDoSed. One of the admins left and started a new botting site due to a lack of pay from the first site. They are both in a DDoS battle to try and steal each other's traffic. Also, it is still unknown who specifically cleaned the accounts. There are multiple admins, no one knows who to trust. By the way, i don't bot/cheat. I am however members on many other forums and love to see the botters getting their rage on :) It is very satisfying. Legalize baby punching. Tax and regulate it. Punch babies erry day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
