Wassup Valhalla I'm interested in Battle net and these automated programs u guys have. I am a CS major in college and have programming exp. I see u guys are very knowledgable. before I get my feet wet I like to read up on what I'm getting into. I hear things thrown around like D2Hackit(??) I see packet headers(I think) yo is there a site or a place where u guys read this? I wanna catch up to u guys and then start my project I'm gonna be working on. I did read past post but there are sooo many and theres no explanations on some of those. hit me back. pce

If you want to get into Battle.net stuff, such as attempting to make a bot; here's some helpful links:

BotDev
BnetDocs
BNLS Protocol Specifications

BotDev hasn't been updated in a while, but it has some documents on there...
BnetDocs is a collection of Battle.net packets, and information...
BNLS Protocol Spec is a document on a server that Skywing and Yoni wrote, which makes creating a Battle.net binary bot much easier, it does all the password, account, and cdkey hashing you'll need along with other various functions...

As far as D2HackIt, if you're still interested in that the only old site that I know that still exists (besides http://www.blizzhackers.com), is http://maulei.tripod.com/Home.htm...

Packet Headers can be found on BnetDocs

Happy Programming

I'd say that starting off with BNLS or Hashing right off could be disastorous.  Many of the programmers (myself included) started with CleanSlateBot, then moved on to better forms of connection.

I can't beleive I'm saying this, but: you should probably use CSB if you've not had much/any experience with winsocks before.

Ew, I wouldn't ever recommend anyone to use CSB

I know, really?
But that's how I got my start..and now look at me...I'm almost kinda good!

I don't see how inputting your BNLS ID, BNLS pasword, username, password, cd-key, product, server and home channel in the designated areas would help anyone learn anything about connecting to Battle.net, or anything about programming at all.

Yeah, it would only require someone to get familiar with creating sockets, connecting to remote server, handling data, not anything important...

[Eric]

CleanSlateBot does nearly all of that for you.

Do you have a public release of your bot?

Yes

Sorry Lord, I didn't realize you were talking about CSB.

You still gotta learn how to manipulate the userlist, display messages, etc...  Start SMALL my acquainence!

That's basic knowledge of the language you're using, not necessarly related to bot development because you don't need a userlist, or to display all messages...

But most bots (that aren't flood) have these, and most people avoid making a FloodBot for their very first Battle.Net bot.
