I have heard several people mention bots to gather missions and complete them and one that enters every possible IP address and tries to connect then add to the IP list.
Can anyone confirm these?
I think that both are major exploits and shouldnt be allowed especially the second one because if it runs fast enough IP change imunity would be worthless.

There's definitely a mission bot for deletes; m1sf17 made it last round. I'm hoping SirEmi will address this and banhammer anybody caught using them.

Well, it's been three months and Emi hasn't said a word specifically about m1sf17's bot. Seems like the general attitude is "Legal until made illegal".

Hmmm. Well, in that case I hope it's made illegal, THEN banhammered :P

It's more of a nuisance than a problem. It doesn't appear to me that this bot is interfering with people's ability to complete the available missions thereby creating an unfair advantage, but that could merely be a factor of the user's hardware limits.

misfit's account is offline, which means that he's either stopped using the bot or has shut it down for now.

Understand that there are several automated things that Titam has said is alright. For instance, having a program that goes through and grabs ALL the missions for you. That is alright as long as it only does 1 cycle at a time.

And where can we find that? |

In general, this should be considered cheating.
Who wants to play this great game in such way anyway, where's the fun in that ?
But that's just my opinion.

Bots I do not agree with, especially ones such as m1sf17 described his. However, if having a script that runs and grabs me all the missions is fine I might put some work into that. Would save me time, right now I just do it using tabs and refreshing to speed it up a bit and cut down on the clicking... |

It was part of the discussions regarding the tools I am creating with Titam. I am working on the project with another HP player now so hopefully we will be able to get those tools out to you all soon.
Mind you anything that requires playing to do is not in the tools. Just various expansions based on things already in the game but may be in different sections.
For example there is a Collect All for Virii.
This is being expanded to missions as well as IPs found in missions to be added to your IPDB.
These tools will NOT run missions for you, auto collect, or anything else that could be considered an AFK bot.
There is a difference.

like calculators and stuff? slavehack(i hate referencing to that crap game)had a similar tool, it was brilliant. hopefully you might make something as good. it has, but not limited to you could paste a page of logs and it would show you every ip that isnt already in your ip database (cross referance from a pasted/extracted db) wow it had more but it seems so limited to that game (mainly because they used banks and things) |

That's what you said your intentions are, so an extra point for going through with them.
It just better not involve CAPTCHA. I swear to Turing that I will quit in a heartbeat if I see a CAPTCHA screen.

Yes, I made a bot for HP.
Yes, it works.
Yes, it is released.
I have been talking with emi and we have worked out an effective way to prevent bots from working inside HP. Not only my bot, but all bots.
