Playing Ingress using the same spoofs as Pogo.

[riddlebox85]

I am curious if anyone has insight into the Ingress ban method. I know its automated but cannot seem to figure out what might actually be triggering it.


I recently got a ban on Ingress after I started spoofing pokemongo stuff and decided to try the same methods in that game. Obviously it didn't go well.

So now I am curious what in Ingress that I did actually triggered the ban.

Right now a few minutes ago I created a new account and am spoofing into a large tourist area to see what I can get away with until I am hit with a ban. Hopefully giving some sort of insight into what could cause you to be banned in Go for spoofing assuming they wind up with a similar system.

Phone is a nexus 6 rooted ..with xposed fused location is off mock mock locations and hide mock are both enabled. xprivacy is enabled and is blocking ingress from seeing my identification, system, network , storage (Ive heard ingress will check to see if you are running xposed and that is grounds for a ban itself.)

Banned: 11:05 PM.. Just short of level 5. I think I had been playing for roughly 2 hours at this point as I started another account in another location and opted to switch to this one.

I was making my way around Washington DC at 5kmph doing missions. I had actually made it to mission #23 of 30 in an ingress banner doing nothing that to me would indicate that I am not a real person besides the fact that i'm supposedly walking around DC at 11 pm playing a game.

I had to double back on the route I had planned to get a portal I had missed and suddenly I had a completely blank map. I tried to force sync thinking maybe the internet just had a hiccup and that got me nowhere. Finally checked the email I had signed up with and found my account termination email.

In case anyone is curious what a niantic ban email actually looks like.

So you got banned within a few hours on a new account?

Yes.. No idea what triggered it.. Just trying to say if they implement the same system in PoGo it'll be the real end of spoofing. Though I am sure someone somewhere knows how to still bypass ingress' spoofing detection so maybe it'll be a good thing.

interesting

my guess would be them using something similar to whoer.net?

based on your internet connection, they can probably locate where you are, and if that doesn't match up with the place associated with activities that you did then you'd get flag?

what did you use for spoofing?

Mobile Phone? If yes which Platform and Apps for Spoofing, or just Nox?

Are you retarded or blind?

It clearly mentions in the OP that he's using a Nexus 6 with various Xposed modules.

According to the developer of an ingress glyphing app this happens.

Lately I realized, that the Ingress client calls Androids API method 'getInstalledApplications'. That is for sure part of the new anti cheat system. But I'm not sure what they're looking for.

I of course am unsure why xprivacy/rootcloak wouldn't block it from telling what else I have installed on my phone though.
