okay i'm a noob when it comes to what can be monitored and can't when using a secure network, but if i were to bot at work would the tech people know if i'm playing games on their network which is strictly for work purposes only ?
lol i just thought id ask because i would want to monitor my bot while i'm at work instead of leaving it on at home
 
Teamviewer.com
Remote pc into your home computers. I also remote PC into my work computers when im at home to save energy
 
To me biggest thing that tips off your IT will be bandwidth usage. If you are pulling enough that it slows everything down. (watching videos and streaming music)
Though this will be individual to each company based on their practice but honestly unless that put an IP block on it you should be fine unless you start downloading and/or installing things on the PC. If they do a program sweep of unapproved programs and you have something you installed that can flag you.

As far as going to a monitoring site that will allow you to remotely change profiles and start/stop your bot with screenshot requests you should be clear. If you are trying to stream video of your bot I would not recommend that for bandwidth reasons. That or using a remote login service like log me in would probably be a no no.

Edit: would like to add that I have worked at places that are very strict on PC security.
 
so botting on WoW at work wouldnt raise high bandwidth because i know WoW doesnt take much at all
 
Teamviewer on the lowest quality that you can still make things out with.

WoW can be ran with minimal bandwidth but if you are streaming that video feed from your home PC to your workstation that will use a large amount.

Unless you are talking about installing both honorbuddy and wow on your workstation. Then pray they don't notice it.
 
Being an IT tech that looks after such things, WoW is one of the games that most network monitoring systems picks up well. many firewall systems have it as an available option to block or monitor. A good network security group will have notifications set up for network trafic types that are outside of typical business needs (to detect such things as virus traffic when AV hasn't picked up the actual virus)

If your network security team is competent, go with teamviewer as one of the easier options. gives you immediate access to the entire desktop.
I recommend grabbing teamviewer portable and putting it on an empty USB stick (if your company allows USB sticks to be used on your systems). if USB sticks are not allowed, use the portable version anyway so it doesn't install to the system.

Okay, well what i am saying is that i bring my personal PC to work with me, but i am connected to the Work Wireless internet, is running WoW and HB only going to bring up any flags on the internet, or can they see what i am playing since i am connected to their network
 
I use Splashtop remote with my iPhone and Android tablet. It's much better at streaming then TeamViewer. I started using it with Diablo 3 when I was doing Demonbuddy botting. Does great for WoW for me now.
 
If the network security team is monitoring the network, any rogue network traffic can be detected. regardless of whether it is from a work, or personal PC. If it were using your own internet (eg: 4G Dongle), it would not be touching the network, so wouldnt be detected
 
I doubt it would throw any flag to your IT department. Especially if you are using your own laptop over the Wifi. But if you want to feel extra safe, just use teamviewer remote desktop. If they ever ask you about it, just say you like to keep a connection to your home PC to monitor things and whatnot.
 
If you want to 100% keep your job - don't do it. End of story.

If you want to risk losing your job, have it. We fired people for much less.
 
Well it's my dad's company, i just wanted to be safe ill just use teamviewer like i did before then.
 
If I was the IT guy it would depend on policy, as you mentioned it is strictly for work purposes then if it was my network I would have all non standard ports flag but then again on a employee BYOD (bring your own device) network I would also lockdown the crap out of the ports and open them on a per request basis.

This is however due to most of the policies an employer has given me, at the end of the day so long as the network is running within certain performance parameters then most of us couldn't really give a damn whether someone is working of playing games as the extra bandwidth only helps us justify keeping us employed.

End of the day if it is your fathers company and you aren't actually using it to slack off your work (thanks to HB) then it sounds like you would have a justifiable reason so long as the company network has a decent connection and you aren't stopping others from getting work done.
 
Use an openvpn Tunnel for all your network-traffic(the other tunnel end is then your standard-gateway). And, you have to enable ip-forwarding and some ip-tables rules. ;)
 
teamviewer is blocked on my work pc as is any installation of any programs.. (need admin passwords for EVERYTHING). it sucks my only option would be to stream to my ipad and control it from there.
