[Release] LuaHobo - Run protected LUA

[Sikas]

I won't be using this, though good job on trying to replicate Cypher's LuaNinja. I got banned and not stupid enough to get banned again for using the same method. Unless someone releases a way for their to be protection... no thanks.

[Apoc]

This is more of a replication of LuaFoo, than LuaNinja.

LuaFoo registered it's own commands to avoid the protection checks entirely.

LuaNinja completely disabled those checks.

This does neither, it just calls FrameScript::Execute and hopes for the best.

Correct, but again, doesn't a hobo always hope for the best?

Basically, the WoW Lua engine or API is a set of functions provided by Blizzard to interact with and modify the World of Warcraft interface and behavior through the use of addons and macros.

However, you can't access all of these functions through console commands, as some of them are protected, I've listed some in the main post, as well as a list to all API functions, including the protected ones.

You can run "normal", or unprotected Lua functions through the console using "/script", e.g "/script RepopMe();" will transfer you to a spirit resser when you're dead. However, we can't use the protected functions using the "/script" command, for example "/script CastSpellByName("Healing Wave")" won't work.

What LuaHobo does is allow you to run these functions by calling an Engine function in WoW, externally. So where the "/script CastSpellByName("Healing Wave")" doesn't work in-game, you are able to execute this command through LuaHobo, by providing it with "CastSpellByName("Healing Wave")" (the function name, not the console command!) in the Lua Execution section of the program.

This way you get around the protection, without interfering.

Sry if im not getting it, but what's the purpose of getting around the LUA/API protection?

Why just not use the Healing Wave from the spell book or make a macro with /cast healing wave?

:confused:

@Robske: Why should he reinvent the wheel?

Wonder when someone will make a pay-version of this. From my experience paid bots like Honorbuddy/gatherbuddy/pirox or paid hacks like WoWinfinity are the ones that doesn't get detected....fast.... (Since it basically becomes the developers job to keep it secure). I'd like to pay for a secure LuaNinja/hobo/foo whatever, that'll work.. FUREVAAH

Bots != Hacks.
Being able to use protected lua is a huge advantage, they know why they fix it asap.

They want to be able to do 1 button faceroll macros for interrupting and dpsing

I'm not a hobo. When it comes to being banned, I prefer the safe(er) way. Not just pure chance.

It's the risk of the trade.

Worth mentioning that this has zero protection, and I have already identified multiple ways to detect it using the current Warden. Releasing something like this without protection is just asking to have peoples accounts banned.

Just an FYI and not bashing your release, your effort into this is recognized and appreciated, but this is the 4th program that enables the use of protected lua commands, the previous 3 all got detected very quickly. Kynox's and Apoc's was a matter of days, Cypher's lasted longer cos he worked really hard on making it undetectable.

Kynox, Cypher and Apoc are the most recognized programmers on this forum with huge skill, they all attempted to keep their hack from getting detected but were beaten by Warden. Now I don't know how great you are at programming, but you have just released a type of hack that Blizzard has shown they hate (By detecting a similar hack 3 times previous to this) with no protection. Warden dude was more than happy to take on Kynox, Apoc and Cypher, honestly the Warden guy is going to take one look at this, see that it's easier than all three previous versions of this hack to detect and you'll be gone!

Good luck, but seriously, you've got no hope xP

Every thing can be detected nothing is undetecable.

[~OddBall~]

I swear people hunt these forums looking for people that say "undetected" just so they can look like some super smart genious and say "LOL NOTHING R DETECTABLE NUB".
I know nothing is undetectable, I did mean to say undetected, but seriously it has no real relevance to my post at all so go try be smart somewhere else, I'm sure you can find a few spelling errors in a few posts if you want to spend your day searching for them and posting corrections, that will be like taking viagra for your e-peen i'm sure

[zys924]

permanently undetection is impossible.

it's always a matter of time to ban a public hack if BLZ wants to...

The only way to use hack for long is to develop a hack in a currently undetectable way on your own and keep it private always

However, with more and more detecting method being added into warden, it's getting harder and harder to implement it and the worth and the effect of doing this must be taken into consideration.

Lol @ you fixing Oddball's post.

Wowinfinity seems to be getting away with it, and has been for quite some time.
