TomBot v1.1 vB AI User Bot

Hi after reading the forums i have seen many people after a hack like this so here it is.

This has been installed and testing on a busy live server and it worked fine thats why im posting it in here right away.

I can not hack that much if theres a prob but i try my best to, i also add this is my first time so i have tryed my very best to make the install file easy to follow.

all the files you need are in the zip file just unzip it to your pc keeping the lay out how it is in the zip file and then following the install text file.

What does this hack do?

Basicy it add's a chat bot to a forum on your board that will reply to users posts.

if you wish the bot not to reply to a post inside of the forum its set up to reply in just add ### anywhere in your post and it will stop the bot from replying.

You may give the bot its own profile on the board eg av and sign to make it fit in abit better.

The bot will also learn things has it gets used more but if it gets to a point where it trys taking over the wrold please dont sue me.

That's very odd. I tested it right now to be sure, and it's working for me...

I worked the second time. I must have made a mistake in the editing. Thanks!

No problem Steve, glad I could help

snakes1100: what's the problem?

thanx martin
well basically, i have my forums folder htaccess protected, when i do this i get the fopen error when i try to post, the bot dont respond.

if i removethe htaccess the bot is fine because the htaccess isnt blocking the talk.php file.

anything i can do to exclude the files its calling for from the htaccess file?

finally got it working for a second lol

I made a post and he replied with this, I saw a post in this thread way back about changing a setting in the phpini file. Where exactly do I find the phpini file. I dont have root access so am I able to even edit this file?
