Okay seeing as Blizz can and does look to see what is running behind the scenes on our computers. Then my question is this..is it "possible" (remember I am a non programer here) to rename the HB to something that Blizzard does not know, or to a generic name that many PC based machine would be running anyway as par for the coarse?
 
Often detection of a program by another is not by simple name variance - unless you're lazy (like EAC or what Punkbuster did one time...) it's often by finding where a program injects, what it modifys or what functions are being hooked to. If it monitors a function here, and notices something external is calling on that function to present data or do an action it can then flag that to the AC and cause a detection.

Another example is in WoW you used to be able to teleport hack VERY easily, just by modifying a few values - this was patched to make it so the moment you try to move past a certain speed you get disconnected. It's still possible, but a lot harder than it used to be due to this change of disconnecting people.

This is a VERY broad example though, there are various ways to get around AC's, to detect a ***** or hack, but this is just one main example.


AC does not stand for air conditioning - I just can't say the C word apparently...

Don't worry about it, everything that can be done is being done.
 
thank you for the reply, and not flaming me. I understand now, and I guess I should have trusted HB to have done it if it was that easy?
 
Back in da early Glider days - your question was valid.
So no harm done.
 
Changing a windows executable will not change the MD5 checksum of the file- if Blizzard was looking for a file in memory they would be using this..

However whilst I have no idea- just like the rest of us I don't believe they would do any searching for any files..

As other have mentioned, the most probable way blizzard detects bots such as HB is detection the injection method...

No one really knows- well I guess the buddyteam have a bit of an idea.
 
Blizzard actually says they search your files and memory...and you allow this by acceping the ToS. Do the math
