* sethome – Sets home to the current location. * stats – Provide connection figures and statistics * wear – Wear an outfit folder from inventory. * quit – Log all avatars out and shut down * setmaster – Sets the user name of the master user. * setMasterKey – Sets the key of the master user. * importoutfit – Imports an appearance from an xml file. * export – Exports an object to an xml file. * mangleprim – Modifies the TextureEntry of a prim to allow extended fields to be inserted. * exportparticles – Reverse engineers a prim with a particle system to an LSL script. * appearance – Set your current appearance to your last saved appearance Some suspect that the Libsecondlife crowd removed these commands intentionally in order to prevent widespread abuse – a step in the right direction as far as many are concerned.Ĭlient accept teleport lures from master and group members. While admittedly, the last hurdle would be easy for a person with even the most basic programming knowledge to circumvent only a small percentage have even that knowledge and of those that do only a small percentage of the unscrupulous ones would have the know-how to fix the export or import commands.

In addition there is code in place that checks permissions before calling the unfinished function that may at some point do the prim copying. Import/Export commands are ‘Under Construction’ (meaning you cannot copy anything, not even prims you own) and have been for the last few releases. Testclient is very easy to acquire, but it is missing some functionality that copybot has. In the meantime, rumors will continue to circulate that ‘Testclient’ is copybot -these rumors are only partially true at best. It is doubtful that we in SL will ever see an open market of people distributing Copybot – in fact, limited the number of Copybots may be in the bot creators’ interest as long as some crooks residents see a way to profit by distributing cheap reproductions of other’s works. We believe that the situation is very different now than it was when Copybot debuted – this new version is not easy at all to get and the people using it are as secretive as ever. In the interests of responsible journalism, d3adlyc0d3c, Pixeleen and I debated at length whether or not it was a good idea to publish this article after the widespread panic Copybot publicity caused when the first version was circulating. The new copybot is controlled entirely via IM, and you can make it Instant Message people, make it shout, it can reverse engineer particle scripts without any permissions, can be commanded to follow an avatar around and is programmed to automatically accept teleport requests from it’s master.

Not only does the new copybot copy prims, complicated linksets, and textures like it always did, but it now has the ability to clone profiles, copy nearby avatar’s outfits and save all of this information to the user’s hard drive just like software such as Second Inventory – and perhaps even more effectively. After the video was done, we threw the copy away, Apotheus – honest. In the video, we copy one of Apotheus Silverman’s large complex builds. ‘Not only did Copybot continue to function and evolve in SL over the course of the past year, but trying to break it is a futile excercise as it is entirely impossible for Linden Labs to ever prevent individuals from being able to use this or similar functionality’ our source told us Thursday afternoon.Īfter the initial interviews, d3adlyc0d3c was able to acquire a copybot from certain SL ‘underground’ contacts – he then used the bot to create a youtube video demonstrating some of the capabilities of this software.

Several sources have told the Herald that Copybot had never left SL in the first place as many had hoped – instead, copybot engineers concentrated on a series of improvements to the original model.
Unfortunately for content creators in Second Life, Copybot DOES still exist and is more advanced than ever. Some of these claims included allegations that Copybot was being used- allegations that many of us did not believe initially. In partnership with d3adlyc0d3c, last week I began conducting an investigation into reports of rampant content theft across Second Life. Remote-controlled bot copies prims, linksets, textures, clones avatar profiles and outfits & saves copies to the user’s hard drive By Alphaville Herald on 02/03/08 at 9:52 am
