Dear community, Over the past month we have seen a reign of cyber crime across the Runescape botting scene. vInsert was the victim of several Runescape account hacking disputes before its database got compromised in the merger with Aurora. Now Advertising other bots isn't allowed. was defaced as well and its database was compromised as well. This thread is to shed some light on our perspective towards those recent happenings. We have always tried to be in time with warnings to protect you as people, Runescape players and us as a community and succeeded in doing this. But as this wave is continuing we have to give it more attention. In general everything we do is with security in mind, that means our security (both personal and OSBot's) and your security. With the recent happenings we have decided that we will take an entire day to go through each and every security measurement we have and see if there is anything that can be improved without harming any user experience. We feel sad for the victims of those attacks even though they might be competitors in some sort of way, we do not and will never condone DDoS'ing, hacking and any other sort of black hat activity. OSBot itself also has been victim of attacks, may it only be DDoS attacks though. We are increasing measurements taken to automatically mitigate such attacks. If such attacks will continue we will alarm authorities and file a report. We will be collecting network connection logs in case. I'm repeating myself, but we will never condone any cyber crime and black hat activity by ourselves, our community members and others. OSBot is a place where people should feel safe and comfortable. Sincerely, OSBot.org

Dear community, Our host had to do some unexpected maintenance to some of their clusters and unfortunately our server was in one of them. We're sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully this won't happen again any time soon. The host has not replied what the exact reason was, hopefully they will. The bot server is back up now. The downtime was approximately 6 hours. EDIT: Sincerely, OSBot.org

There is an error that is preventing me from entering the chat. Here is the error message:

Nice to see this type of support from the admins to other servers & this community Thanks for the heads up.

too long didn't watch

The account info is stored locally and it is encrypted, so no worries.

You can't report someone for not being good or having a bad game. That kassa had 21 assists and you? 6. Maybe you stole 15 kills of kass. Who knows? Just don't blame 1 person for the game.

Script kiddies should at least know the terms if they want point-click-hack. The program you have does not do Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks. What your program does is attempt a Denial of Service Attack (DOS) probably by sending a mass amounts of packets. On a home network, upload speed is significantly less than download, so you really can't do much with a program like this.

Dear community, As time goes by it has been a while that we have shown you what's going on behind the scenes at OSBot. What is going on besides the updates you see on the forums and the bot client itself. The forums have been growing rapidly over the past few weeks and the community has become more complex to manage. However we hope that our decisions still benefit you all in the long run and to keep as many people as possible satisfied with what have to offer. Last week we switched to our new dedicated server which brought significant improvements on the speed of the website. We upgraded our CloudFlare plan to have faster throughput for CloudFlare, together improving the response time of the website. When switching over, we switched to a different web server again. This left us with some tiny bugs in the url rewriting for friendly urls (furls). This made IP.Content working incorrectly and has forced us to remove the link to the repository and the API temporarily. We have been looking in to this issue and identified the problem, we will be spending time on fixing this up as soon as possible. As mentioned earlier, OSBot is now soon to be an official part of a company set up by us. This will give us a lot of legal protection in the future and will hopefully will make it possible for OSBot to stay for the long run. However, with a company a lot of administrative work comes along. Therefore we saw the necessity to create some administrative tools to make the work with the SDN easier and most importantly automate payments to SDN premium script developers as much as possible. This has been taking up most of my time for the past week and is also the reason I haven't been that reachable on Skype compared to normal. I hope to finish up these tools as soon as possible. As for the bot, we've been doing preparations to load definitions from the cache to provide definitions for entities that have 'nulled' names and nulled definitions. For this we will also have to write a cache downloader that will make sure that the entire cache is available for the client before executing any script or logic. This feature will also lead to the next giant improvement mentioned multiple times: the webwalker. The cache reader and downloader both need some updates and tweaks, but once these are done we can implement the dumping of the encryption keys needed to decrypt the landscape files, which we then can use to populate the data set for the webwalker. We will be spending time on this in the coming week. All these updates are more or less happening without you seeing any results, yet. However, the administrative tools might cost us some time now to develop, it will make our lives and eventually yours as user of OSBot easier. Adding, removing and updating of the SDN will become easier, so expanding the script base will go faster. Processing payouts to developers will become easier as well. And once we have the webwalker ready for use, OSBot will become the place where you want to be as a developer AND as a user. I can't wait for the first farming scripts or the first slayer scripts that make use of the webwalker. Stay tuned for amazing things to happen over the summer! Sincerely, Maxi and the OSBot team.

Just because it's the same people doesn't mean you have to close it.
