Hello everyone!
I am in the process of writing a tool that reads the packets WoW sends in order to read messages sent by an ingame addon over the AddonMessage channel. The purpose of this tool is to then make that information accessible to programs like XSplit via a built in HTTP server.
My question is this:
Will warden detect and report my packet sniffer?
Details about my application:
Written in C#.NET using the SharpPcap libray which is a libpcap / winpcap wrapper. I'm not using a filter (capturing all packets). No packets are being manipulated - I'm just reading. I'm asking this because it would not make sense for Warden to detect packet sniffers (like Wireshark for example) because they can be used without modification for other things (like debugging an unrelated application) as well. But it still is against the ToS and I can't imagine that Blizzard doesn't enforce them. I am already obfuscating the addon lua file and in a next step I will obfuscate the commands it sends as well.
Any input on this is greatly appreciated and I would be more than happy to share this application when it is finished.
