[QUOTE="Ecko, post: 365507, member: 24874"] Not so much coding error as just complete oversight. Used to develop for a private RSC bot over a decade ago and in the client we implemented an IRC class that connected to our network, joined a specific channel and allowed myself and the other users to perform quite a things (take a snapshot of the game client, send text, move their character, etc). The point of the bot was to be able to macro for long periods of time without getting caught. The IRC portion of the bot allowed us to control each other's characters in case a moderator was nearby so as to not get caught. Basically we were able to bot 24/7 thanks to so many people from around the world who were part of that bot community. Well as the bot was private (needing an auth code for it to successfully start up), someone eventually deob'd it and found the IRC information (network, channel). They joined and of course naturally the channel was not registered since it was our network and most of us had ircop status. They registered the channel which gave them operator privs. They kicked everyone that wasn't a bot, set the channel to passworded and proceeded to get every account banned by running a script that made each bot say "I am botting" over and over. Most who used are bot didn't even know why they got banned since they didn't know about the IRC feature, but there was a handful who did and they were super pissed. PS - the 3 posts after Markshall's are stupid as fuck. First one after his is not dumb, it's just inefficiency. The next two are syntax errors which every person makes at some point in time and, unless you're a fuckwit who doesn't know how to read logs, are easily fixable. [/QUOTE]
