As somebody who is presently studying network security under scholarship, I have some inkling how difficult your jobs are.
Security is a dynamic enterprise because those who want to 'get in/alter data' are never resting on their laurels and are always adapting to their success (getting in) or your success (stopping them).
If you stopped one attempt, they're adjusting to how you stopped them and trying something else. If you didn't stop them, you have to discover they are there, stop them, and close the hole they found to get in.
Since EvE online is played internationally, your efforts are hampered by the fact some countries don't have laws against cybercrime and some countries even SUPPORT cybercrime (as crazy as that seems).
The very type of operation Eve online is (a 'open-ended' game) also hampers security concerns since you have to be extremely careful what you are observing is not some new tactic cooked up by a legitimate player, but an actual bot or a RMT.
I, for one, appreciate what you're doing and wish you the best of fortune. |

Maybe one of CCP Quant's graphs for botting? I'd very much like to see actual numbers of bots and ISK sellers caught.
Edit: bot-hunting! Make it a new profession supported by challenge tools prior to lodging a bot ticket with rewards for each bot caught!
To give the players such a tool would also give the bot-makers the same tool. The tool's effectiveness may last a week (at most).
If such a tool were made available, it would be a help while it was effective, but it would then open other security measures to being tampered with.
If real life money can be made from it, there will be some cyber genius doing it and waiting for such a break. |

Rosewalker wrote:Welcome CCP Bugartist! Could you answer a couple of burning questions?
1. Could you please post an updated guide on how to detect bots?
2. Is it a EULA/ToS violation if someone continuously kills/pods a bot if the bot is stupid enough to keep coming back to the same spot? I once heard that it was.
Thanks!
#1 would come in very handy for many of us. (myself included)
#2 is a very interesting question with serious implications either way it's answered. |
