Detecting bot

[pika4u]

Hi,

in the first - sorry for my english, it's not my native.

I have a question. Why Demon Buddy is not masked at Process Manager (it's called demonbuddy.exe)? I use my simply program (writing on borland c++) to find this proccess via Win API. I think Blizzard can do same with his "blizzard agent" or "game launcher" without any difficults.

as far as i know, blizzard do not have a "permission" to scan ur system

Pika4u, don't you think Bossland GmbH has thought about this? And don't you think Blizzard would have taken advantage of this?

I believe there was some fuss some time ago with Warden and stuff.
If I recall correctly they can scan your memory but only parts distributed for game - not entire RAM.
I bet they are quite mad about that but at least we still have some privacy with all this crap like Blizzard, Steam or Origin.

I've been using demonbuddy casually since they released it, still haven't gotten a ban.
I only bot one account and only for gaming purposes.

My brother on the otherhand got his account banned after a few months, but he would bot for days and
sell his items on rmah.

you: easy to see running processes on your computer
blizzard: easy to see running processes on your computer

the difference? for you its legal.

wouldnt it help to mask the name as an extra precaution might save a few accounts here and there no?
