botwar

    0.01 sec.
(chat)botwar - The epic struggle of bots vying for dominance.

Botwars are generally (and quite inappropriately) carried out on talk systems, typically IRC, where botwar crossfire (such as pingflooding) absorbs scarce server resources and obstructs human conversation.

The wisdom of experience indicates that Core Wars, not talk systems, are the appropriate venue for aggressive bots and their botmasters.

Compare penis war.

So far, SonicWALL has monitored tens of thousands of unsuccessful attempted exploits, which are believed by some commentators to have emerged as a result of a botwar, or competition by rival hackers.
