What is with "J STREET" BOT!
and what is with this:
below you'll find a sample of spambot activity:
garbage from #6609 bread - 18 spam posts
garbage from #6608 bread - 17 spam posts
garbage from #6607 bread - 23 spam posts
garbage from #6604 bread - 33 spam posts
garbage from #6603 bread - 18 spam posts
garbage from #6602 bread - 41 spam posts
talking about q crumbs… there is a one very special crumb that proves spmabots are real.
a shill chatbot analysis - including relevant q posts V2.0
V1.0 of the research:
>>4346883 pb
look at the attached q posts.
The highlighted text explains the behavior of the spam chatbots that are constantly deployed here.
my experiment is described here:
here i trolled the spam chatbot with a reply:
>>4345440 pb
and what do you know?
it gave me an automatically generated text pasta reply:
>>4345586 pb
and posted another 4 posts with a random delta that is in the range [10-30 minutes]:
>>4345586 pb
>>4345666 pb
>>4345825 pb
>>4345962 pb
exactly as q told us more than a year ago!
What they did manage to do during this year is to update their automatic post pattern to be triggered by a reply. Notice that the bot posts a first "common drive post", like q called it, and the subsequent 4 posts will all tap into this one.
To summarize, lets get back to the q post.
similarly to what is written in the q post, the spambot uses a 5 prong pre packaged injection, only this time it has a precursor post serving as bait. After an anon takes the bait and replies, the bot searches for "negative" keywords ("bot", "r2d2", "spam", "shill", etc). If it found these words, then the 5 prong pre packaged delivery is injected, meaning 5 automatic posts are inserted, with the first one auto generating the other 4 posts at random designated times with deltas in a range of 10 to 30 minutes. Note that all 4 posts are linked to each other, forming a chain of posts with a common driver (root).
Then, as q said, "shills log and send new info back to ASF for instruction." with ASF probably referring to the APACHE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION.
see attached snip taken from:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/
Also as you may or may not remember, Q used "APACHE" as a signature, and told us to dig it. An anon found out before that it is connected to the Securedrop whistleblower honeypot fiasco, but it could have multiple meaning with one of the being the ASF, or in fact the ASF can be connected to securedrop as well (see attached q snip).
Manual script inserted by a human operator:
on an older bread I played a little trolling game with the spambot. I exposed 3 of his lies on purpose, to see if in fact there is a human operator that can edit the next automatically generated reply, before it gets posted, in real time, via a script. "Trolling is fun".
Here is the experiment:
trolled it once:
>>4351198 pb
and received a manually inserted script.
>>4351259 pb
trolled it a second time:
>>4351407 pb
and received a manually inserted script to an automatic template.
>>4351463 pb
attached are the snips of the second trolling and reply that included the manual insertion.
my conclusion: there is a human operator that does exactly that, he can manually interupt the automatic generation of posts and either pick a different one or insert a specific line.
^^^^^^^

and now to the final part (my favorite) - a detailed example of a glitch, that proves that it is in fact a (semi automatic) spambot
Look at the attached screenshots. look at the time stamps and then on the post number. Notice that the later post has an earlier post number. THIS HAPPENS WHEN A MULTI-PRONG MESSAGE IS INJECTED
also notice the kvetching of the bot operator.

When the spambot operator blows his cover:
>>5169586 pb
^^^^^^
here the bot operator said he filtered me, using the same semi-automatic text
>>5170172 pb
^^^^^^^^^^
And here, 25 spam posts later, he posted another text reply saying he filters me again.
oh boy… you're gonna get fired for this…
