:o Listen up. Ive made a botnet to use my bots on. Its a very simple Ascii protocol, and a quite simple botnet. You simply login as your battle.net name (doesnt querie a pass) and enter the botnet chat. The server is fast and reliable, it doesnt have annoying stuff like anti-flooding but I can kick and ban the abusers. ;D Anyone interested in it? Ill post the specifications.

OoOoOoO sounds neato leeto, can i see those specifications? ^^

nobody wants to use botnet? too bad... it now has all the stuff bnet has and more...

Whats a botnet?

Well.. considering that there's already a widely accepted BotNet for which many people already have written clients for, I think you might have a difficult time convincing authors to use yours.

Also; if it really supports all of the features of B.net (i.e. real game clients connecting to play games), then it'd be using the B.net protocol, and then you're just making a server emulator, which should already be compatible with existing bots.

Skywing, the botnet i wrote, doesnt require somebody begging me for an account, anybody can use it not just other bot authors. Also when i said all the features of battle.net, i meant chatting features! i.e. early botnet didnt have emote and my users wanted it so i added it. I never said anything about Games connecting to it, it definitley doesnt use the battle.net protocol, its an easy ASCII protocol which developers should like.

Uhm, by the way, people can create their own accounts with mine.  Plenty more than just bot developers use it.

I'd say that has decent popularity for its simplicity and solitude. (1382 logins, Admins excluded)

lets see, 58423 - 44124 = 14299

Not only that, my botnet has only been up for a few days, compared to your month.

You do the math, considering this botnet was developed recently and not many people know about it.

It's not just about numbers.  For example, if, say you say, only a few people know about your network, then the vast majority of those users must have been the same person.

If you're planning to make a chat network, then you might as well use a standard protocol such as IRC.  However, the purpose of a true "BotNet" is for bots to cooperate in accomplishing tasks, such as moderating a channel.

who said its just chat?

you

No, youre silly. I said:

"Also when i said all the features of battle.net, i meant chatting features!"

Which means it had all the similair chatting features that battle.net has, not that it only has chatting features.

I bow to you [vL], for my lack of a dedicated server has driven me to take down my botnet. People were complaining cuz of the downtime. You win.

Don't think of it as winning and losing...Sky's botnet is simply the established standard, and if you can properly construct a binary bot, you can certainly construct botnet packets! The protocol is very carefully layed out. Sky posted the spec as the very first post in this forum.

I'm Lost :-\ ::) ::) ::) ::)
