| Kenyai | For example, let's say someone writes a bot that does these things: 1. Shells Diablo II. 2. Gets a handle to the Diablo II game window. 3. Gets a handle to the device context of the window. 4. Performs a BitBlt and analyzes the video data to "see" the game using image analysis algorithms. 5. With the Diablo II game window in focus, sends commands using mouse_event() and keybd_event() to "play" the game. 6. Repeats steps 4 and 5 as desired. Would Warden detect this bot? | February 22, 2007, 1:23 AM |
| Ringo | Clicky That should be the forum your looking for :) I cant really answer your question, but AFAIk, if you keep it private, it keeps going :) Its mainly public stuff they blacklist. | February 22, 2007, 1:39 AM |

I think the reason you hate me is that the aforementioned method of writing a bot is so cheap. ;) | February 22, 2007, 1:51 AM |

[/quote] Depends on what module the Warden client downloads for you. Warden client is always running client-side, but it downloads modules from the server that it loads into memory and executes (from my knowledge, there are thousands of these and they all do different checks) | February 22, 2007, 2:16 AM |
| Kenyai | Wow, thousands... Well, thanks for the info. | February 22, 2007, 2:30 AM |
| Ringo | afaik, they wont/dont/rarely ban private hacks/programs/bots. It seems to be only once they are in the public domain. I think there is still some macro bots for d2 that still work and are not banned after a year or more of being in the public domain. Like autoit stuff etc | February 22, 2007, 9:14 AM |
