Yeah so I got this message on aim today, figured id go ahead and share the conversation. Didnt really see an area fitting for this other than here so I posted it. If its in the wrong place move it please.

I had scanned the bot a long time ago so I knew it was backdoored from the start.

Not Skeptical (12:44:51 PM): i dont want to join your botnet
Not Skeptical (12:44:53 PM): no thanks
Not Skeptical (12:45:02 PM): you're an idiot
Not Skeptical (12:45:15 PM): and because of your awesome source ripping abilities
Not Skeptical (12:45:37 PM): you're just pushing the idea skywing could have to make BNLS private

nesucks2 (12:46:02 PM): no im not
Not Skeptical (12:46:06 PM): how are you not

Not Skeptical (12:47:15 PM): you're cool man
nesucks2 (12:47:16 PM): i dont give a shit
Not Skeptical (12:48:30 PM): i just find it funny how you condone ruining a free service when you yourself are using it
nesucks2 (12:48:38 PM): no
nesucks2 (12:48:52 PM): i neither condone or condemn it since the free service is an entity
Not Skeptical (12:49:10 PM): apparently you do condone it since you're doing it
nesucks2 (12:49:24 PM): i dont forgive a thing
nesucks2 (12:49:27 PM): i just use it
nesucks2 (12:49:33 PM): just like i use a chair
Not Skeptical (12:49:55 PM): ok so you hit your kids to make them be good
Not Skeptical (12:50:04 PM): but beating them everyday for fun is also neccisary

Not Skeptical (12:50:09 PM): ?
nesucks2 (12:50:15 PM): thats different
Not Skeptical (12:50:20 PM): thats what you're doing
Not Skeptical (12:50:21 PM): exactly

nesucks2 (12:51:00 PM): so
Not Skeptical (12:51:05 PM): and what are you doing
Not Skeptical (12:51:07 PM): abusing it
nesucks2 (12:51:08 PM): i dont care
Not Skeptical (12:51:09 PM): therefore
nesucks2 (12:51:17 PM): its intrepeted as abuse
Not Skeptical (12:51:18 PM): you condone beating your kids everyday for fun

nesucks2 (12:54:06 PM): naw
nesucks2 (12:54:11 PM): i'lll rather use bnls
Not Skeptical (12:54:20 PM): because you can't do local hashing

nesucks2 (12:55:43 PM): because
nesucks2 (12:55:47 PM): genocide is made from me
Not Skeptical (12:55:56 PM): and it uses BNLS
Not Skeptical (12:55:58 PM): which is made by..
nesucks2 (12:56:01 PM): no
nesucks2 (12:56:10 PM): bnls
nesucks2 (12:56:24 PM): it sends eletric signals to bnls
nesucks2 (12:56:29 PM): and bnls uses itself
nesucks2 (12:56:32 PM): and sends them back
Not Skeptical (12:56:51 PM): using what from BNLS?
nesucks2 (12:56:57 PM): umm
nesucks2 (12:57:02 PM): your using the tcp/ip protocal
nesucks2 (12:57:07 PM): stop using someone elses work!

Not Skeptical (12:57:42 PM): wow
Not Skeptical (12:57:54 PM): you're amazing
nesucks2 (12:58:09 PM): what you think is abuse is your opinion

Not Skeptical (12:58:46 PM): using something or someone in a method in which they're not suppose to be used
nesucks2 (12:58:57 PM): yeah
nesucks2 (12:58:59 PM): so
nesucks2 (12:59:01 PM): using bots on bnet
nesucks2 (12:59:06 PM): bots aren't supposed go on bnet
Not Skeptical (12:59:08 PM): ...
nesucks2 (12:59:10 PM): so ur abusing bnet
nesucks2 (12:59:20 PM): yet thats ok, since you believe that its not abuse
Not Skeptical (12:59:23 PM): obviously
nesucks2 (12:59:36 PM): your opinion thinks loading bots on bnet isn't abuse
Not Skeptical (12:59:43 PM): i think it is abuse
nesucks2 (1:00:08 PM): so what?
Not Skeptical (1:00:26 PM): according to the TOS of bnet loading bots is abuse
Not Skeptical (1:00:27 PM): but
Not Skeptical (1:00:40 PM): we break that anyways, who doesnt, the point is
nesucks2 (1:00:51 PM): what are the consequences that would occur since you believe its abuse?
Not Skeptical (1:01:04 PM): you're absuing something ran by someone like you and me whom is making an effort to help the battle.net community
nesucks2 (1:01:15 PM): i dont give a fuck
Not Skeptical (1:01:21 PM): point proven
Not Skeptical (1:01:29 PM): so stop trying to justify you're childish antics
nesucks2 (1:01:37 PM): no
Not Skeptical (1:01:52 PM): because their is no justification for what you're doing
nesucks2 (1:02:19 PM): yes there is
Not Skeptical (1:02:21 PM): you're taking someones time and effort to help people im sure he could care less about and throwing it in his face
nesucks2 (1:02:25 PM): its more my personal entertainment
nesucks2 (1:02:32 PM): good
nesucks2 (1:02:53 PM): i should be sending mass cdkey checks to bnls
nesucks2 (1:03:11 PM): fake cdkeys of course
Not Skeptical (1:03:20 PM): might as well
Not Skeptical (1:04:29 PM): so you find personal entertainment in ruining peoples chatting abilities on bnet just to see 200 accounts logged on to a network that 99% of the american population knows nothing of
Not Skeptical (1:04:49 PM): sounds like you got alot of time
nesucks2 (1:04:53 PM): no
nesucks2 (1:04:57 PM): 300 accounts logged on
Not Skeptical (1:05:14 PM): ok 300, answer the question
nesucks2 (1:05:23 PM): sure its entertainment
Not Skeptical (1:05:45 PM): im gonna go ahead n post this on vl forums now
nesucks2 (1:05:50 PM): bitch
nesucks2 (1:05:53 PM): haahaaaaaa
nesucks2 (1:06:26 PM): u think i give a shit?
Not Skeptical (1:06:27 PM): bitch, im just doing whats right for the community and for all the people that would download your shit bot to join your botnet

There is also a new flood bot that is out that is doing like 500 floods per min, That has to be alot worse for bnls because it's doing like 9 connections per second I am supprised bnls hasent crashed yet.

I in all honesty think BNLS should have restrictions. I jsut don't know of a good way to go implementing it.
[quote]Couldn't he just block an IP that has over 8+ open connections to battle.net?[/quote] Its REALLY easy to setup a single connection to BNLS to do all of your logins.
[quote]Would be better if he just reenabled the auth system.[/quote]This would be great, but it would cause a head ace trying to keep every bot account orginized.
Which is why i think he removed it in the 1st place.
If he does implement anything, I would like to know.
Also if anyone here has any suggestions on a effective system, let me know. I would love to add anti-abuse mesures to JBLS so that when the mesures are released on BNLS massers can't jsut go use JBLS

If it's done via Botnet, and various valued members are given limited access to modify accounts, it wouldn't be much of a bother. There'd be a flurry of activity the first few weeks when accounts are given, and then it wouldn't mean much. It would be simple to graph how many connections are made per day per week and ban/remove access from suspects.

You know I was just kind of thinking of something, you know how some IRC servers scan you to see if port 1080 or 1050 (I can't remember which port it was) is open? Could bnls be setup in the same way to detect that open port, if so just simiply prevent it's connection?
January 12, 2007, 1:21 PM
Topaz
Useless. Proxies can use almost any available port (2^16 - 1) and aren't confined to just 1080 and 1050.
January 12, 2007, 2:53 PM
dlStevens
True, but majority of the retarded massloaders, are 12, like somone said, and they're stupid...Chances are they use port 1080..., No you're not going to stop all flooders/loaders, but it'd put a lot out of bussiness for the moment...

(I've been out of battle.net dev, for a while now, so bare with me)

Also, Why not add an unique token, the computer has to send to the BNLS server? each computer has to have their own individual token, if that token has say 8+ logins at the same time, then disallow anymore from that computer until a connection is dropped?

Like I said, if this were the case, a bot could be written to use proxies. All they'd have to do is run x amount of accounts per proxy, and BNLS wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

This has nothing to do with the connection, per-say.

I'm talking about you register a serial number with BNLS, and apon connecting, send the serial.

1080 and 26662
January 12, 2007, 10:57 PM
Wolf
Wait a minute, thats just basic a Sock 4/5 connection routed through someones proxy server isn't it? These proxies that people log onto are just other peoples proxy servers left unsecure. I would imagine that the people who leave there servers like this open to the world don't even realize that others are massing with them. If they don't realize, then mostlikely the ports to connect to are at default (1080 and 26662) like what Mystical just said. So they can be anything, true, but the majority of the connections are on the 2 ports. If you blocked the 2, there is only a small handful of ports that people would leave open to the world that others would connect to, wouldn't it? If there were only a small handful, it doesn't correct massing completely but wouldn't it reduce it a whole lot?
January 12, 2007, 11:22 PM

Just make it closed. That will force people to procure a way to log on locally, although the amount of people flooding the forum might be the same as the massloads...
January 12, 2007, 11:28 PM

I hope you "block proxies" guys realize that ONLY YOU connect to the proxy on port 1080, the proxy connects to the destination server from a different local port, since 1080 is the listening port.  ::)

Testing to see if the client is a proxy or not isn't practical.  With the amount of connections that BNLS recieves per minute, it'd be just stupid to attempt a connection to each one on X port to see if it's a proxy.  The BNLS server might as well just DDoS itself.

The easiest way to go about adding a "restriction" would be an algorithm calculating the amount of logon queries/cdkey encryption/connection attempts per bot id in Y amount of time resulting in a value determining or not if it's abusive.

Something like that could work if the ip logging in goes passed 8 within a specified time frame, I know I hit bnls atleast 4 or 5 times times and they're probably only a few ms apart from eachother.

Testing to see if the client is a proxy or not isn't practical.  With the amount of connections that BNLS recieves per minute, it'd be just stupid to attempt a connection to each one on X port to see if it's a proxy.  The BNLS server might as well just DDoS itself.

How would it DDoS itself? I think you mean DoS.

This problem has been been around since bots came out except back then it was a bit harder to massload. That is until nbbot came out. I remember massloading with ultimate bots back in the day. That was the fun days when we would load battlechat. The only problem with days now is every program is open source. Most bots that are massloading / flooding have been released to the public.

Proxies are not just on port 1080 but it is harder to test them on battle.net since telnet was taken away. I remember loading like 700 proxies and spamming people using the friendlist command which would read a channel and spam every user.

Ever since cuphead released cleanslate many bots came out. I remember stealthbot started from cleanslate then evolved into it's own bot.

I even see people massing on war3. Keys are not a problem anymore. Proxies arnt a problem.

I don't really have a problem with people massloading my channel it takes like 2 seconds to send an email to several people who can ban the account and proxy from battle.net

Like most of us that have been on for so long we could care less we have made filters so we don't even see massloads or flooding anymore.

Although gamers on actual broodwar do have a problem since they can only turn off notifications. All these massloaders / flooders do use bnls or that other server. There is an easy solution. Alot of flooders massload with a single name IE: Masstest and what follows are Masstest#, masstest#453. A simple solution is to ipban/cdkey ban everything on that account. For anything over #6.

Most Bots have a version thing they send like for example when it says your cdkey is inuse by Skywing. You could run a check for something along them lines. Like if the check said it was a massloader by bobdole. Ban all the strings by that.

There are alot of methods the easiest is using the auth system again. I remember having a cdkey tester which used the auth system back a year or two ago.

Bnls is just like battle.net nothing will be done unless it starts effecting the server itself. Also if enough people complain about it that usually helps as well.


You could also make people pay to use bnls. I'm not speaking of everyone just people that cause the problems. ban them from bnls then if they wish to come back. 20 dollars should be fine. that way you could make a little money and they might learn or keep paying money.

Eah I still think the best idea is to re-enable the auth system. (BotIDs/PWs)
Start with a completly new database and only current developers can get there names authed.
Writing a simple usage monitor shouldn't be to hard.

So if a bot is configured for BNLS (with an account on it) and they switch to JBLS, they'll have to request the same account on JBLS?

Doesn't really matter, JBLS doesn't work with the new checkrevision.

[quote]The easiest way to go about adding a "restriction" would be an algorithm calculating the amount of logon queries/cdkey encryption/connection attempts per bot id in Y amount of time resulting in a value determining or not if it's abusive.[/quote]
This is also ineffective, these things are using proxies in the first place, and there's no way to discern which 'bot' is using BNLS as it is anonymous, the only solution to the problem is to reimplement user accounts and revoke those that are abusive.

Not that anyone still uses battle.net, or really cares...

Why should someone share something they worked so hard on to people who want everything for nothing?  Sharing the War3 hashing stuff would lead to War3 bots which in the end could ruin War3 channels on Battle.net, kind of like bots in the recent years of Battle.net.  Why do you think nobody has every publically released any Starcraft in-game stuff?  So it's not abused.  Look at what happened to Sc/Bw ladders, they took them away.  Happens when people share how to make a winbot.

Instead of using a proprietary binary format, why not use a real, relational database like SQL Server or MySQL?  Then you can do index searching, and even separate different DLL implementations into different tables.

You also have the advantage that you don't have to have a huge load time at startup or shutdown as the binary database is dumped.  Any number of servers could query the database server.  You could specify permissions for write operations.

All you really need is a pool of persistent connections to the database server (so that you're not constantly creating and destroying them) which will throttle the number of queries you perform (to manage load) and prevent massive concurrency issues if too many people attempt to write data at the same time.

*Sigh* Why does popularity matter on the internet anyways... Is it going to get you anywhere?; Probably not.

Dean: "Do you have someone who can reccomend you?"
You: "OOH, YEUH! IM A UB3R PROGRAMMUR ON BNET, EVERYONE KNOWZ ME DER!"

:-[, Idiots.

Popularity doesn't matter.  Ability does.  I don't have a degree in CS.  I graduated from college in May; by December I had landed a Senior Developer position.  What did my portfolio have?  My Battle.net stuff.

Doing this work can get you places.

Yeah people tend to laugh at this kind of stuff, but if you look at what a complex chatter bot has it in it, it has most of the fundamentals used out there.  Networking, GUI, databases, sometimes scripting, graphical stuff, data encryption/compression/hashes, algorithms, complex data structures, etc, etc.  Now of course, we are not talking about random john doe's elite floodbot.  Something like UserBot of course, work based off of hardcore reverse engineering on Blizzard's libraries.

I submitted code for my UserBot which I was re-writing at the time in C++ (overlapped i/o completion ports, icons.bni rendering, owner drawn windows, versioncheck file patcher [this isn't a easy process, took many hours of reversing to get it right], multiple profiles per executable accessed through system tray interface, just a couple of things to name) for a job a couple of months back.  That might not sound like much, but when you look at the way the core of the bot was written and how the i/o completion ports fall into place with everything, it's pretty neat.  The guy was stunned at it all and was extremely impressed, he showed his team too and one of the company heads and they were shocked to find out I was only 18 at the time, and self-taught with no degrees.  They said it was all good, but the stuff they do is in C#.  So unfortunately I had to turn down a good job.

Look at Skywing, he is a Microsoft SDK MVP, but to you, he is a nobody who wrote BNLS and you kids abuse it for your own personal enjoyment.  Ask zorm, he can vouch for me and still bugs me to this day to update my bot and was suprised at my work when I shared some sources with him a while ago.

Nobody said they did.  You know why?  Because people here already have computer jobs.  Skywing, MyndFyre and I (just a few to name) have jobs computer related.  It was unfortunate for me that I had to turn it down though because it was C# based.

Seriously? do you think colleges care whether someone can program a emulated chat client for a server? No... They'll probably think you're a hacker too. Which they obviously don't want...

Maybe if you show them you can code (No not in Visual Basic 6 either); but in C/C++, Java...etc than possibly they'd be impressed.

A portfolio should contain shit that you have accomplished over the years, for your own use, or commercial not something that represents malicious use of a server. Understand?...  :-* ::)

The fact that quality paychecks were as close as learning a language similar to one you already know. Then again, personally I think the only way I'd venture into programming as a profession would if I was going to be hired by a large company - one of the leaders in software development. I think right now investment banking is where it's at, which is why I'm in college for that! :P

I did for a while, I had to learn some MSSQL stuff too.  Everything went ok, but in my current job I'm working fulltime/going to school fulltime so I don't have time for this.  Especially since it's a whole new language to me, I wouldn't have time to learn anything "complex" or what not and deal with tough things with little knowledge.

Ya i had nes aim me and tell me to download his bot it was kinda stupid.
