HaViK

So, came up with a great idea in another thread.

What if we got a bunch of LGers to spam the fuck out of a certain subforum on Gaia? It could be really fun. Just by myself I got the entire front page of the "Extended Discussion" forum to be spam topics with flashing rainbow text, and it only took like half an hour. They finally cleaned them all up a few hours later by just trimming my account's posts. So, now imagine this: what if we got like 5-10 people doing this, on all different accounts and proxies? As long as they just had similar flashing rainbow text or something, it would make it so they can't ban us by account/IP or delete topics by title/content, making they're job 500x harder. If we raided a forum like GD or Chatterbox or Gaming Discussion or Entertainment Discussion or something, we could wreak havoc and completely screw up the forum for the rest of the day, if not longer. It would be something that few people forget if we do it to multiple forums.

If you guys are actually up for this, we could totes have a team name or mission name or something, kind of like how hacker groups name they're operations, and put that name on sites they hack (eg. "OPERATION LULZSEC; DON'T FUCK WITH US" or whatever) I propose the name havik or HaViK, because it represents real riots that happened (I believe in london) where it started from a text message that said "link up and cause havic", and turned into a full-scale riot with smashing windows and a ton of other shit. That's why I propose "Havik" instead of "Havoc" or "Havok".

Anyway, what do you guys think? I think this could be a really fun and entertaining thing that would only take like half an hour or something.

If you guys want, I could write a guide that teaches you guys how to set up a proxy and stuff. This could be epic, lol.

Whaddya guys think?

I'm down I just need a secure way to hide my IP.

Don't worry, the proxies I use are super secure and free. When we get enough people I'll make a guide on how to use them haha

probably the stupidest idea of i've ever heard lol. the name is the icing on the cake

Lol well eat a bag of dicks, I really don't care if you don't like it.

I'd support adspam. But there would be no staff support of malicious activity.

I would rather you post constructive criticism instead of bashing though, lol.

But we don't do that the Gaia account giveaways yet. None of the current mod staff are active in cracking, so until the programming thing picks up again, we're more of a black market sales site. Maybe advertise the fact that you can buy and sell Gaia cash for USD or how there are game giveaways and shit. Free Dota 2 invites, if there is a gaming forum there. etc., etc.

The gaia cash thing was fixed I think

I don't think so. The exploit TGYTG found is pretty legitimate and efficient. But regardless, black market prices are still always discounted, no matter what means you received the item (even legitimately), so his statement is true.

Yeah, sounds legit. Maybe throw in monthly giveaways too or summat.

I'm not sure how possible it'd be to make a spambot for the Gaia forums. Gaia being a browser-based game, though, I am totally excited at my ability to make Greasemonkey extensions that can bot Gaia. Sofaking sexy. I can maybe help make an auto-poster.

I've actually considered writing Gaia scripts through Greasemonkey/userscripts at some point. They would be better off written in PHP or another server side language IMO (of course with client side/front end languages like HTML, CSS, JS, etc).

Less drawbacks/repercussions that way.

I tried creating a Gaia script with Greasemonkey a little over a year ago but failed miserably(I had no idea what I was doing). I do think a lot of simple bots would make great browser plugins though as they would make some annoying tasks much simpler.

I agree. Browser extensions would help making things easier on the end user. But it would probably be more of a hassle than not.

I think bot makers just need to learn how to make more user friendly, intuitive interfaces.

I don't know what you mean. If it required a server-side language, it would have to execute at a centralized location. They could just block any requests coming from that IP, or if the server goes down, no one would be able to use the program. Greasemonkey allows the program to execute in browser, in live time. It takes the least memory resources and has the fastest execution, at least over server-side languages. I imagine C++/Python/etc. is still faster, but Greasemonkey/JS has the benefit of very efficient GUI.

I'll definitely make some Greasemonkey bots, then. Whenever someone posts some open-source basic bots. I don't enjoy reading through Gaia's nonsense source code to figure out what security tokens to send and what not.

This is very true. Gaia rarely to never does that, though. Artificial made web bots before and hosted them on LG and I believe everything went fine.

The Greasemonkey scripts would occupy the browser and cause additional hang. As a byproduct it would also consume more memory than a conventional bot would.

If you can find a way to make this work, go for it. But I see a few potential drawbacks in taking this route.

I would make some sample work but I can't right now. I have some remnants of past code but I don't know how that's going to go as far as far as readability goes.

I've never written any overly bad or unreadable code before, but I used to be a heavy procedural oriented programmer so some instances of my code may raise a few eyebrows every here and there.

But yeah, I'll try and see what what I can do.

Depends on what the script does. It's only a problem if you're doing http-requests. But at the same time, receiving a request from your server is going to take even longer/cause more hang than making the request directly.

I used to have a script that would auto-buy items below a certain value. I'd make mules and hoard all the 1g items onto them. I'd get more gold per page load than I spent on the items. Collected so many. All I had to do was open the browser window, tell it to buy all blue octopuses less than 2g, and then go to the blue octopus page. And then one by one, they started disappearing.

Wow, congratulations guys, that was actually a great idea. I have quite a few small bots written up for myself from a few months ago written in iMacros, a plugin for firefox and chrome. I never thought of writing them in Greasemonkey though, that's a great idea. Also, if you guys are interested in iMacros, it has a very nice "Loop" button, that can loop it up to like 9000 times.
