Whilst I can understand why people would object, I don't think that its really an issue as long as all they send back is a 1 or a 0 (and the hash list is 'appropriate' -- ie only cheats etc). | Donate to remove ads, get your "DONATOR title, and get access to the MMOwned community's elite Shoutbawx.

But don't expect a reply ; ) |

It should be looking for win32 hooks, code injections (as it is now), etc, etc.. who cares what my browser title is? |

Like a radar that just uses RPM to pull out objects. Short of boosting into the kernel and hooking APIs to watch for the RPM call (MUCH more intrusive) there's no way for Warden to know a cheat is being used. Its not like it KNOWS its your browser title, it's fairly indiscriminate, but its just the only real way it could detect stuff like that (hashing process memory, reading titles, etc). Quote:

Reputation: 52 Level up: 96%, 22 Points needed |  | | | Sorry to ask a question on this thread, but do you know how long Blizzard keeps track of in-game player conversations? I hear 3 months get tossed around alot for that. If you don't deem that to be related to your myth-busting, then please just pretend I didn't say anything. |

Could be forever, as far as we know. |

I wonder if they ever saw the characters in a logfile who responded a different / positive result for the rickroll scan ; )
To bad the warden guy seems to be really busy. Changes after 6 month without code update are really disappointing. |

Reputation: 14 Level up: 6%, 664 Points needed |    | | Is this an early April's Fool? Cause searching for "Governor" on this website brings up THREE threads, with the last reply mid-2007. Thank God for this sticky designed to stem the "constant creation of threads about Governor"! Man i was getting sick of those, almost one thread every 2 years or so, unacceptable.
From Blizzard:
In an effort to combat the efforts of those individuals who are willing to violate the EULA and/or the TOU, Blizzard Entertainment utilizes an “anti-cheating” utility that runs as part of World of Warcraft. This “anti cheating” utility performs limited scans of: (i) the Random Access Memory (“RAM”) that is occupied by the World of Warcraft program to confirm that the World of Warcraft program has not been altered or “hacked” in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use;
(ii) the World of Warcraft ‘process’ to determine if any unauthorized third party programs or computer code has been attached to the World of Warcraft process; and (iii) the Windows Process List to determine if any confirmed hacking or cheating programs are presently open in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.
Part 3 seems to be at odds with "Fact #1" of this sticky. |  | |
