Slightly worried that it starts when you launch P99. I mean, who's to say it isn't parsing passwords?

Who created it?

would be great if there were another option on the site which is to simply upload your own logs rather than using the specific client. i'd feel a lot more comfortable with this option.

That goes against it being real-time then. Someone could come up with some fake logs and pollute the site with bad data.

There are multiple ways that somebody could input bad data. You're never going to be able to eliminate them all.

[Man0warr]

Obviously, but allowing the uploading of old log files seems like the easiest way to input fake data.

Open source the code.

It will be obvious what the scraper does and does not do.

plenty of people with fake auctions. it's never going to be 100%. if someone wants to take the time to fake all the data they can do it in a lot easier fashion. the log upload would be more convincing than me to load up wireshark.

Not to mention with closed source, you risk a payload being sent obscurely in the future (how do you know it isn't collecting your password/keys/personal data for a push out in a future date? Or installing a botnet on your machine).

Interesting code in the exe:

Interesting because they're not supposed to redistribute the code as the Dotfuscator Professional Evaluation terms dictate, and the fact that they felt the need to obfuscate the source (hint - it can't really be to prevent people sending in fake JSON to the server, as Wiresharking the network and copying the JSON format is trivial, since it's not using any encoding).

[Dirkus]

Looks like he released the source code in the reddit thread.

Did you read the first page of the thread? What it sends is unencrypted JSON containing the auction line and an identifier, and basically nothing else.

Nice to see another auction tracker. Ahungry works but the obnoxious ads usually keep me away.
