Is powerbot safe?


TheWord

Really want to use Kiko's dung…

But I'm so paranoid about getting hacked.

Is it infected in any way, shape or form?

Probably not, seeing how popular it is.

Probably not?

Why can't anyone give me a definite answer lately?

Yeah, he's saying probably not which really changes my mind about using it.


If it is infected, I'm screwed, if not and the bot nuke happens, I miss out on free dung xp+tokens.

I have a spare laptop that I rarely use, should I use the bot on there?

Just don't save your info in the client log and when you're done using the script wipe the computer and change password on the other one… also never enter your pin on their client

just to be safe

I suppose you could, maybe, I guess.

Yeah just do it there if you feel unsafe.

It's safe…especially Kiko's script.

To be honest, no telling. One of my very good friends, John (infact an SRL scripter here), used powerbot just days ago - and was cleaned for 50K astrals.

But Kiko is a very good scripter with an even better reputation. He's not to fear, but possible (somehow) malicious content from the powerbot client itself IS.

To be safe, just manually log in, and then hit "play" to run your script. ALSO never enter your bank pin in the powerbot client (you don't need to for iDung anyways).

Follow those simple rules, and you'll be botting to 120 dungeoneering like me in no time :)!

Here's what I want to do, transfer all the money I have on the acc I want to use the dung bot on, onto another account. Download and use powerbot on my spare laptop.

I'm currently using powerbot for combat, since simba is being updated. SO far so good, be weary with injection though higher ban rate.

How much EXP / hr can I get if Im 70 dung with the dung script?

Footy

2012-07-15 22:18:22

Dont rely on it too much though, Reflection will most likely break after this supposed bot nuke.

@OP. Does a cat purr because it's happy? Or does a dog 'wag it's tail' for the same reason? You're asking us about a close-sourced bot. Please tell me the answer to my questions too..

quazzymodem

2012-07-15 22:31:19

Its completely fine and I really wouldn't even worry too much about the ban rate. Jagex seems to be slacking on the ban department. Also if optimus is aimed at colour bots, having a more complex script might even lower your ban rate.

TheWord

2012-07-15 22:51:32

Running the dung bot on my shitty laptop atm and on a shitty account.

Will let you guys know on how it goes!

Just a little thing called a bot nuke, which banned a tonne of accounts using injection.

I posted a thread on this matter aswell. I just dont put my information on it, and log in manually. In my opinion, and also some other individuals, Powerbot is safe.

Powerbot is completely fine and safe. I've been apart of the community since 2009, have never been hacked. Though, I do recommend you use the scripts found in the SDN; just to be safe. (Scripts in the SDN have to be approved to first approved by administrators on the site and are classified as 100% safe / flawless)

Even though I do not recommend the use of Dung scripts, enjoy and have fun. :)

Powerbot is safe.. But how safe is it to run kilos dungeoneering without ban.

2012-07-16 01:18:01

Ive only ran it once and I was fine. YOLO right.

Silentcore

2012-07-16 01:24:49

I've ran it on my second best acc and so far I've been getting flawless piece of work.. Going to use it on my main starting Wednesday after I get maxed melee..

white_lycan

2012-07-16 01:30:29

i finally got to it, and am now running power and kikos script. before the nuke i used kikos script from lvl 70 dung to 100 something dung. literally didn't do any dungs myself and ran that script day and night. ATM its been running for 3 hours. getting 40k an hour. i used to get some where along the lines of 50-62k/h but i forgot what i had my settings on! flipping bummer….

Benny

2012-07-16 01:32:31

It's working pretty well for my main :) let's go!

Silentcore

2012-07-16 01:35:26

Is 5-6k per hour good for a lvl 50 dungeoneering..

white_lycan

2012-07-16 01:36:50

we should share out settings so e can find out the maximum xp per hour.im inbetween 100-105 dungeoneering currently gaining… 38k an hour running for 3 hours.

Benny

2012-07-16 01:37:25

it's alright, of course there are some bugs so far so it can only get better xp wise. i'm getting about 20k at 81 >.<

johnbrown8976

2012-07-16 02:15:56

I am getting like 10k exp/hour on the I-Dungeon at level 60. I am counting on powerbot not to hack my account coz I have one and only one account. So far so good for me.

I actually didn't save any info, i just normally typed it in, but now I'm using an onscreen keyboard to put my deets in. Hopefully it makes a difference :P
