To what extent can reflection be used?

So i was thinking, we can use reflection to debug so much information from the java client, but what are the limitations? Would we be able to hack the client, look at the script (ima java nub btw) and see if the client has a bot catching system within it? And if so, could we use reflection to warn us when runescapes macro catching eye was on us?
just a thought.

Hacking the client goes beyond reflection.

And bot detection is server side AFIAK.

Using reflection you can read fields in the client, and Jagex isn't stupid enough to have a simple field for "Flagged or Not", atleast its somehow covered…

It's likely all done server-side. Everyone sends information as if Jagex was keeping an eye on them, but the servers just disregard it unless the sender is flagged.

It would offer a nice way to down the Jagex servers if we could find out the communications they accept, but that would be unethical and not what we're here to do. (And it would make Jagex extremely mad at us…)
