Just out of curiousity I want to know. Why they wouldn't use these methods? 1. MouseInfo MouseInfo (Java Platform SE 7 ) Why Jagex doesn't use mouseinfo to detect the actual position of mouse on our device? Example: Code (Text): int inputX = gamepanel.getLocationOnScreenX() + mouseX; int realMouseX = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().getX(); int inputY = gamepanel.getLocationOnScreenY() + mouseY; int realMouseY = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().getY(); if(inputX != realMouseX || inputY != realMouseY) { //dosomething } 2. Tasklist Code (Text): Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System.getenv("windir") +"\\system32\\"+"tasklist.exe"); Using this command to get list of tasks, then check is the bot process running
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say option 2 would be highly illegal. In fact I seem to recall reading Blizzard got in to trouble for doing/attempting this.
Valve use's this to scan memory and processes though, on Steam. Don't know if they got some kind of permission to do it though. Source: Valve Anti-Cheat - Wikipedia
Just because you are running a botting client at the same time a game client is open doesnt mean you are botting. Of course jagex could just go ahead and close all its clients when detecting botting software, but it would be a waste of time on their end because the botting client developers would always find a way to hide their software.
Most client side detection is incredibly easy to circumvent. Both of these detection options you suggest can be handled by either modifying the game client to remove the detection completely or injecting into the OS specific API's to return valid values.
It is definitely not illegal. I can think of dozens of anticheats who are 100x more intrusive than simply checking running processes.
The question to this is, how long it would take until the authors would find out about that detection method.
Or launching the game client using a "standard" user account on your pc that has no access to the folder RuneMate is running from (set permissions to deny). Shift+right click to run as another user on Windows
Jagex can nuke every botter in the game any day they want. Keep that in mind. They need to run a community while creating authority.
LMAO Jagex has ability to view more than just your client, they have access to very specific logs of connections and mouse movements. It's very simple to catch a botter. They need to run a game while banning people to pretend they're doing a good job. In the end they're losing the players. It's a very complicated system to explain since I'm not from the inside but I used to be a player moderator and had intel. If I took my time to explain my posts you wouldn't be trolling me ayy lmao trust me I'll get used to my English soon don't you worry my dude!
correct. In germany anyways they got in big shit. Their usa division is allowed to scan memory/processes. it's shitty
