Without downloading and looking at what this program does, I can say pure and simple that I am 100% against any programs that does ôhackö memory locations to give an unfair advantage. And I hope that CCP and the other CSM Candidates are against this also.
Of which this program does neither, so the point's kinda... lost.
Yeah, I stand corrected... after diving more into finding more out off the process behind this program.
It uses the log from Log server right? That log also contains the username of the person that uses this program, and it can that case be considered a data mining program.

EFT is totally irrelevant since it does not require anything but an API key, and does not need any of the current game files, or temp/logs/cache files for that matter. And EFT does not give you any in game advantages, though it gives you a platform that you can test setups on a theoretical level.
BACON does need the logserver file in order to work, though my reserve is that the same log file contains your user name, and that can be exploited by others to gain that info (an example can be that they modify the open source and release it as a ônewö version on sites like eve-files.
And the fact that it gives a unfair advantage for in game, and as base for people to create macro like behaviour that can do more harm than good, and I hope that CCP disallows this so called ôtoolö since itÆs basically a platform for people to exploit.

All of these programs can be compromised in order to do malicious things. Heck, you could just be downloading a virus with nothing else.
This is no different from any piece of software you download from any source.
That is true, but then again I believe that is a whole different topic, since this is about BACON not any other program you might download.
