I heard Jagex is spying our computers.
Anyone know if this is true?
What ways do have to counter this?

The most straightforward way would be to sandbox the Java process; not allow it to look everywhere. I can't think of a proper way to do it right now. You could obviously rename the exe and simba folder, yes. ;)

Would be simple to cripple Java's filesystem abilities through SMART. Just have to rewrite the class (I think java.io.File) and add it to SMART ;D

But that might prove to be detectable to them?

No more than running it in a sandbox — that's basically what a sandbox will do.

And how detectable is a sandbox? Would anyone who doesn't bot run the client in a sandbox?

The question is if they disallow running their process in a sandbox. Technically it shouldn't be a problem. And shouldn't be a problem lawfully either.

they have to still prove your using simba for that reason ? We all know that simba is used for more than just runescape.

Since when did JaGeX care about showing any evidence for banning for for macroing? They've always just banned the character and left the evidence field blank..

Your right there, that is true. Surely tho they wouldn't ban you for just having cheating software ? I thought they would have to get evidence that your using it on runescape.

They might search for the software if they're in doubt or unsure if it's a bot or a human maybe :p I'm not sure what they'd do
