Ubot API Question - Network access?

[Bot-Factory 602]

Hello.

 

Is it technically possible to develop an ubot plugin that creates a network listener (port) and receive/send information's via that port?

Hello dan, kev123.

 

I am curious to know of what use a network listener plugin would be to Ubotters?

Could you please tell me how and where this can help?

 

Thanks .

basically communication between computers but it opens up a lot of possibilites

Thanks for your reply. Though I don't fully understand how this would be useful..?

My major usecase for this is bot to bot communication. 

I have a big bot running on my server who is doing the big work. 

 

And I distribute smaller bots to my users. They do some local stuff and then send their data to my server. 

At the moment this happens via php / database. But it would be much easier, if the bots could send it directly to my server. 

 

And it would somehow be added to a queue.

 

Of course there are a lot of open questions like:

encryption

stabiliyt

what if bot crashes

 

But if that would work reliable, this could open a lot of options.

shady... shady. and i guess you know what i mean but you are just trying to describe this like its not that shady.

 

what would you want to do next? run invisibly?

In my case it's a legit thing :-)

 

If you know DynDNS, that's what I use it for. 

I have small bots running on different virtual servers. And they change their IP adress from time to time. 

So all those bots are doing is getting their current public IP and repot them to my central database. 

 

Then my central bot can read all the IPs and knows how the different servers can be reached. 

 

So not that shady. I think :-)

the only solution i can think of is the bots writing IP info to a server and then the master bot read the data from a server, but i guess you are already doing this

Thanks for replying. The possibilities with Ubot never cease to amaze me!

 

If only a few major issues with Ubot studio could be resolved - like memory usage issues , better UI support , browser stability - there would be no looking around for other solutions for any of us.
