Random Naming of Program at launch

[abc123]

Is there a reason that on launching Demonbuddy the application isn't auto naming itself something random or something that isn't a bot (chrome.exe). It is really easy as a developer to detect other running programs and i'm pretty sure Demonbuddy would be on my blacklist if i was Blizzard.

*Detected again for the 3rd time, using only 8 hours a day.

they cant gather information on running processes, invasion of privacy, if they did hundreds of programmers would be on it and blizzard would get sued (again). They've made that mistake before and wont do it again. No worries about process naming.

I know Aion did it in 2009-2010* and didn't get sued once, i authored two bots for that game that both were put onto a blacklist. (justBOTin and mmoBro)
I know that blizzard did process scanning in warden, so i'm not sure why you think you can sue just on invasion of privacy. Invasion of privacy, would require that they are recording the information or looking into what you are doing within a process.

Examples:
-Ubisoft
-Aion

no need for a rename or something,you can rename the exe if you want tho

renaming the exe doesn't rename the process in the process list.

huh ?

huh ?

simply renaming the executable, ie changing DemonBuddy.exe doesn't change what the process is running as. IE if you go into process explorer it will still be named DemonBuddy, the application would need to change the this.Name and this.Title in the program.cs file before the form launches.

Blizz seems only to be interested in the address space of their own processes for anticheat stuff

(for now)
