Also, the parts I ignored were ignored because they were irrelevant. eg. Pedantic grammatical complaints, silly issues such as 'time travel [monitoring] in warden', incorrect usage of memes (the latin you used was irrelevant, the latin I used is commonplace when demonstrating a point, so no I don't see what you did there, I used a relevant phrase that is in commonplace use, you on the other hand dug up something from an irrelevant piece of literature. i assume you thought you were funny but infact you just looked stupid)
f-f-f-ffaaiiillllllll on so many levels.
i do not see an grammatical complaints, pulling more things out your ass again? that must hurt.
the latin i used was totally relevant "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe" because it totally ruins the fun if i simply tell you why i did it, kindly take a second out of your busy schedule of looking retarded to put 2 and 2 together.
also i wasn't aware there was even a latin meme, perhaps you should spend less time on 4-chan and more time with your debate club and you might learn why you fail here.

still goin on about that huh? and you say i can't read psh.

you don't need to know why something works to know that it does. my point is that while you may think you have more knowledge then me on this subject, my arguments have a greater basis in fact then yours.

no but it was implied by your statement that nearly every other method is would be "too invasive"

at least your smart enough to notice eh?

that, would be an unreasonable argument.

runescapes a fun game and lots of people take medicine. it's ok i will not treat you differently for either.
* Elaborate on "if you were that were about warden you really ought not to be in the memory editing section". I pointed out that there is more to 'memory editing' than read-only memory (which is what you complained about), then you turned around and said you already knew that. Well if thats the case, what was your complaint? Why should I not be here?

because your concerns are unfounded, have no logical point other then to stir up trouble, and rather useless.

because its not implemented. not sinking your head in the sand but rather looking before you cross the road.

see: looking before you cross the road.

thats what the condom was for, how did you not get that metaphor?

I never stated there was a 100% safe method to protect yourself, but just because you can't guarantee safety doesn't mean there isn't anything you can do to improve your odds.
my view: your gettin it on with sally, you know she doesn't have HIV but you still wear a condom based on the fact she's tramp.
your view: sally's a tramp but she's clean. lets not have sex condom or no condom cuz she might get HIV later.
p.s. (i really like the direction this is headed)

no, i don't have kynox to tell me all about the wardenz.

The key and the rest of the payload was tagged onto the that already existing packet (so it didn't trip any checks for new opcodes added which is common practice among the emulation community). The code stub was decrypted and executed, and the client would send back whether ISXWoW was detected (it was detected via a code hook on the function that checks the pointer boundaries for callback functions).
the fiends! why couldn't they just choose the generic approach and simply hash the entire section.

yes, warden improvements. totally new.

its based upon the fact that blizzard could add new AC detection, as you have noted so kindly above that they do this frequently this is not something new and as such has no basis in fact as to whether or not they will add this particular type of detection.

i am neither against stack traces region hashing or any other form of cheat detection. i agree that it would be a welcome change to see them implement a larger number of detection methods. and also that added protection is not neccesarily a bad thing. what i AM against is avoiding something simply because of a possibility, you should always use what you have to the fullest while you still have it.

my point is that if blizzard updated warden so that they scanned the entire section you WOULD notice, its unlikely to be a hit and run style thing (which would be considerably more annoying then an active thing) and would most easily be seen when waves of people started whining about their bans.

4. Within minutes the user will most likely be detected as a cheater and get banned.
5. 30 seconds later on mmowned Q_Q
you would need to be very unlucky for that to happen and it could happen for any number of hacks, such as monitoring for a dll you inject or some other form of "pwn"

i've got nothing better to do right now and i'm annoyed with some lolhaX so i figured i'd bug you guys.

you can imply that but i never claimed it. because during the course of this conversation and through various threads on this board it must be impossible for anyone to gain any form of information on the subject matter.

recap: things that have no base are considered to be baseless

my point is far easier to prove ^_^
step 1. login
step 2. pick a spot in wows text section
step 3. alter it.
step 4. check if banned
step 5. ???
please post results.
