No, I was quite serious.  Someone's actually posted screenshots of it before.  I couldn't find them on a cursory search, so didn't include them in my original post.

Hmm, screenshots eh? How do you know they weren't like a prank or something?

Naa.

ROFLMAO.

I didn't know you were referring to THAT leet piece of software.

Hmm...

Evil iago!  He wanted a link to the MFC Bot Creator.

I was just saying the best way to do it.   Sure BNetDocs and MFC Bot Creator and such are great, but they are only good for Battle.net.  If somebody wants to actually learn something, they should do it the right way

I agree iago, but all I really want to do right now is create a bot for B.net.   So something like MFC bot Creator would probably do just fine.

I just got a whole lot dumber from reading this topic

Get a game and a packetsniffer (hint: www.ethereal.com) and a compiler (VS6, VS.net, gcc, dev-c++, etc).  Get a disassembler/debugger (IDA, W32Dasm, Softice, windbg, even VS or gdb).  That's all you need.

Use your packetsniffer to watch the game connect.  Do this a few times, and find out what changes.  Try changing your password and connecting again, see what changes.  Try connecting from your friends computer, or with a different cdkey.  Send various chat messages in the channel and see what happens.  

After that, you should be able to tell the basic protocol of the game.  Then take your debugger, and find where data is send and recieved (send() and recv()).  From there, look for where the sent data is created, or where the recieved data is processed.  

One you've found that, use your disassembler to go through the create/process functions and find out how they work, and, eventually, write your own software to imitate them.

That's all it takes!!

Of course, there's the option of using other people's work, like BNLS or CSB, but that's not fun.

What you need to know:
- some language, your choice.  You also need to know sockets programming.
- assembly

That's it!

how do i figure out what the packets mean?  i did the  capture but the only ones i can tell what they are = the realm one, game type one, and cd key one.. one says stealth and i was using stealthbot but why would stealth be in a packet to bnet..?

Most likely because StealthBot's BNLS account ID is "stealth".

oh.. i shouldnt be using stealth neway ^^; i just realized that it uses bnls and i want to use hashes..

but i still wonder how i understand what these packets mean.. can any1 plz help me?

I agree ... Why would you want to make a bot with software someone else made? And then you are ganna put it out there and call it yours... pff either you learn or you dont? If you cant do it yourself maybe ask someone who might do it? but why take the credit for putting a few checkmarks in the program and pressing "make"...I am not the best of programmers.. But hey, i take pride in the work i do.. It makes me mad to see others freeload off of anything they get their hands on

i still think your missing the point

First of all, I said get a GAME, not another bot

Second, start with wc2 or sc or bw or d2 open.  Realms just complicate things, and aren't really important for now.

It should be fairly logical what does what, and reading BNetDocs will help.  Reread my first reply, I tell you pretty much how to figure out what is your cdkey, what is your password, etc.  Just log on twice, using the same cdkey/username/a different password.

Another thing I did, which helped, was create a fake server.  I basically just echoed to the client EXACTLY what the server was sending me.  Then I would make small changes to the server's responses and see how the client responded.  That will help a lot, and, although it's not hard, it's a little tiresome

Actually, you all missed the point... I didn't say it was gonna be this cool bot which I make a website for and everything. I just wanted a bot to be included with something I'm making. I don't care if all I did was fill in a couple check marks to make it. I want to learn to be a programmer later in life. Right now, I'm interested in web design and some programming.  All I wanted was something that would be easy to do. But, with the exception from Myndfire, you all have been arguing with each other instead of helping. At lease myndfire tried to help me.

And iago helped some too
