wBOT - My Experience.

[Black Pres O]

Before you begin to read this thread, I understand that probably the majority of you who have used WBOT will have had no issues, and have never had your banks cleaned. I do ask those of you who have had no issues to just simply read this thread and refrain from automatically flaming me with insults such as "RETARD, U DOWNLOADED A VIRUS! HUEHUEHUE".


At the point, I just want to say that it's really hard for me to bring any concrete evidence to the table, but the objective of this thread is to give the vulnerable players who are looking for a quick-fix to make gold on runescape, or to train stats quickly a little insight into the risks of using wBOT, and probably other bots which I have had no experience with.


I started using wbot around 3 days ago, and when I first viewed the forums, there were a multitude of threads regarding this very subject, claiming that either that the script or the bot had rinsed their account of everything, obviously I ignored these posts and quickly came to the conclusion that they were either idiots who had little experience with software and computers, or they were basically trying to give wBOT a bad name, my mistake.

After 3 days of botting, I became more attentive to the growing amount of threads suggesting that the bot/script had hacked them, so as a precaution, I decided to completely stop botting my main account, which had the majority of the cash, and I changed my password on the runescape website, I DID NOT USE THIS CHARACTER ON THE BOT CLIENT, OR RUN ANY SCRIPTS WITH IT AFTER THIS.

Today, after trading most of my profits from the 5 or 6 bots I was running to the main account, it was hacked, and it ended up in Lumbridge. This leads me to believe that it's the bot client itself which is installing some form of keylogger, due to the fact I havent even used that account on the client previously.

I want to reiterate the fact to anybody reading this who is thinking "lol, idiot, he downloaded something else which gave him a RAT, or a keylogger", I was in your shoes too last week.



This is where my thread becomes a bit speculative and I'll try to avoid the conspiracy theories, but wBOT is a free bot, I truely believe that the owner is basically waiting until you build a large cash pile and just rinsing your accounts, which is a shame because wbot is a very nice bot.

I read somewhere that the creator of wbot has a sketchy history, but I don't know what this entails.

Here is the IP which accessed my account this morning. - I wasn't able to get the ip from the 07 version of the game, but I knew the person would make an attempt to clean the EOC version, which he did, so i grabbed it from there.

This is my warning to all of you wBOT users, I have just taken the precaution of reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling windows.

tl;dr - The government is watching me smoke weed through the webcam on my laptop.

 

Get an admin here to check if the IP exists on the forums.

I've been using this bot for the past two weeks, this has now got me a bit worried.. as i don't know much about hacking and how to fix my computer if something happens.

Well you're speaking to somebody who has taken the time to dig through the .class files and use Wireshark/Windows network monitor to look for malicious code/connections... neither have been found.

And no, logic does not indicate that wBot is at fault. Rs2007 is very popular right now meaning its a huge target for malicious actions. People are getting phished, people are getting infected by random programs, people are being infected by RATs, people have already had their information stolen months and years ago(plenty of lists out there). There are many ways for people to lose control of their account... But wBot has no indications of being a culprit at the moment. Logically its safe to say that people have fallen prey to any of the above and simply blame it on wBot because its the newest change that they've made to their usage habits.

Most logical post in this entire thread.

Their honestly is NO chance at all that wbot is at fault for this. Especially if you never botted on your main account. It is painfully obvious that you were hacked from another source. If wbot was installing keyloggers on people's computers it would be obvious and detected already. The only way wbot could be involved is if a script was taking your account info, which is still a legitimate concern and why I only use scripts that provide their classes as downloads so i can decompile and check them myself, and run them locally. But if you never even logged into your main account through wbot then there is absolutely no way they are involved in your account getting stolen.

Low key, even if they did hack me, it was their bot that got me all the gold and levels in the first place. I'm not saying it'd be alright with me but also like, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have had any gp for them to take at all.

All I hear at the moment is a bunch of people who created accounts in march 2013 saying they got hacked. And one guy from 2008. Wouldn't be surprised if all the 2013 accounts were created by him.


Either way wbot has saved me already hours and hours of training. So if they want to take my 4m they help me earn well, fuck, at least I save hundreds of hours of training.

And only defenders for wbot are newcomers :L

Theres a high chance that the finnish ip seen in the thread is not a proxy/VPN. Dna Internet is the same ISP I am using.

 

[RSWhat]

well im not a newcomer and i logged onto my pure and to fine myself in lumbridge castle with everything gone including all my runes, herbs, and all my gp gone so im gonna say wbot is definitely not safe at all

 

[poterhoad]

And only defenders for wbot are newcomers :L

no, the newcomers are the one who claim wbot hacks

 

[samrobinson1991]

Look at the guy posting above me :L not a newcomer

 

[dr wylde]

wBOT is fine.

 

[Random Man]

Holy fuck thats a Finnish flag, Hes not dutch.. American education at it's finest

It does say "Country name: Finland" ... He knew that it was a Finnish flag. He was saying that Webjoch is Dutch, and that the location of the ip doesn't match Webjoch's location.

Finnish comprehension at it's finest.

BTW, Wbot isnt at fault, why would he not touch all my money on the 4528billion accounts I bot? Oh..wait..I only use scripts that are not full of malicious code(;

 

[Alch4GP]

BOT WITH CAUTION lol

 

[SatanInside]

It is extremely unlikely that if the owners of the client were preforming hacks on accounts that they would then drop the untradeables and get def exp.

They wouldn't waste time doing that shit when they could be accessing more accounts.

Exactly, do that and no one will think it was you who did it, because you wouldn't do something so stupid?

Wrong mate, it's exactly the thing I'd do to avoid anyone pointing fingers at me, just do some stupid stat, quest or something to look like it's some random guy and then leave the account. Randomize all effects and then say it's nothing.

All this looks like that the owner of wBot is one smart guy. He'll keep the % of scammed people under somewhat low level to avoid suspicion, let the farmers farm and get 100x revenue.

Though it might be not true.

I was hacked by wBot and for some reason I can't even recover my account. They changed my password somehow, but showed no trace of using my email.

Hey guys, consider this:

Wbot itself is a safe program... there is nothing malicious about it, no ifs and or buts about it. Whether it continues to be is a question... because it is updated frequently and we have to keep downloading .JAR files, it is easy to let your defenses down after recent success with it...

However, the danger comes with using the SCRIPTS... user-created scripts may have malicious processes that they start on your computer... CHECK THE SCRIPTS OUT before you use them!!! They list a link to the forum so look at the feedback. Some scripts are not used by a lot of people and those people are getting their accounts cleaned.

In short: I would stay away from gold farming bots exclusively as these are the highest risk. Set a bank pin. And if you're really worried about it, change your password, reformat your PC... but as for malware, I have scanned Wbot and my PC thoroughly with some of the best software available and nothing has come up.

 

[RSWhat]

I did a malware scan and got a couple of Blackdoor agents which I don't think is from wbot at all I'm starting to think it might be faulty scripts I've used one script and that's the aiofisher and still haven't got hacked but I would set a bank pin and change the password and if the bot does somehow log off and is still running dont log in stop the bot then log in
