Why you shouldn't use *****

[raspberrys]

Taken off FoE boards.

• As you may or may not know. ***** is a modified RuneScape client. Meaning it is not the same webclient \ download-able client from JaGeX. Now, Jagex can tell if a client connecting to their servers is theirs or not... which is why deobfuscating the client for private servers is so dangerous. Now, I am not sure how many of you have any experience in forum management, so I will put it into the best terms I can. When the servers detect the foreign client connecting, they send a "report abuse" to the Jagex forums \ logs (where all report abuses are set).
  
  Take a look at Sythe's abuse forum:

^ It isnt so bad because Sythe staff did a purge* lately.
* a purge is a cleaning out.


Now, some of you might be wondering "If Jagex knows I am macroing, why am I not banned?" The answer is for one of a few reasons:

[list=1]

• Jagex hasn't seen your report yet.
• Jagex is waiting for you to achieve something great (maxed stats, a 99, etc) so the ban "stings" more.
• Your report was washed away and is somewhere on the last pages.
• They deleted your report on accident.

Proof of the achieving something great: I am the reason Defil3d is banned. I asked Chelsea to test out a new script someone posted, to verify it.. She said "Eh, I don't use defil3d anymore, I'll test on that." 15 minutes later, she was banned... mostly cause Jagex knew her account was maxed, famous, and she didn't use it much.

Proof that your account might be on the last pages: Say someone reports you for rule 1. But at the same time, all over rs, people are getting reported for other things, all the reports go in as a "New thread" kind of thing, so those new reports go to the top of the queue, pushing your account farther and farther back... they might see it, but then go back up to reason #2 (wait for it 2 get something good)

But one thing is certain, the second your account logs on using *****, it is flagged, if you don't believe me... go to: "C:\WINDOWS\.jagex_cache_32\" and decrypt your .dat file, if the "Flagged = Flagged > -1" then your account is flagged.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but Jagex purges the abuse reports every 3-6 months (which is why you may get an offense MONTHS after you commit it...) I am also sorry to say if you used *****, your account may be at risk...

As of Cache version 546, speljohan FINALLY took my advice and changed *****... Kind of... he semi-listened to me, but if you recently started botting, I think you are safe. If you botted on caches before 546. You are screwed.

read that the other day. you always run the risk when you bot, so not suprising

yeah its nothing new really, if you bot you risk getting banned.

just showing that ***** can get you banned though, no matter what people say about ***** being undetectable.

[Bun]

hence the **** stats.

i used to suicide bot lol, just bot 24/7 until you get banned - if you're lucky you dont get banned and you have great stats lol

Read on ***** forums the other week, that ***** sends to the server that the client has been opened using FireFox, which fools Jagex into thinking it's a legit user...

Anyway, I've been botting for 2 and a half weeks, no ban... TBH Jagex won't ban most people on P2P as it's rolling in money for them, and it's not exactly harming the game play as it the items don't get RWT.

like the guy says, they keep the logs for 3-6 months, so you could stop and 5 months later get banned

I doubt they keep logs of where we connect from, that would surely invoke copyright infringement.
