I think this update is only affecting RS3 accounts.

Can anyone confirm any OSRS account has been banned due to client-side detection in last 24ish hours?

I can confirm. I sat at the computer watching the bot gets logged out & tries to log back in.

Botted until the client went down, maybe im just lucky i guess!

Sameeee

What are you talking about? These bans are only affecting RM, pretty much every other bot client is silent.

U serious about this one? Its happening everywhere

Ignore him. Hes probably just taking advantage of a bad situation nd trying to make us look bad so our users go to the client he uses.

I've just lost complete faith in the Jagex bot-detection system. • /r/2007scape

 

[vipertrek79]

Yeah that would do it.. you guys that are doing these tasks that involve simple clicks but are very "macro'd" meaning the mouse goes the same route and speed each time at a consistent rate have a way higher chance of being banned. I've had very good success with my accounts when: Babysitting, i cannot stress these people who leave there bots to run all night or all day when they are at school or work - you will get banned. People will see you and report you for being there for hours without saying anything. I always reply to people when i can to look legit. You can bot for extensive hours but the activity cannot be simple macros or the detection will get you for same movements at a constant speed. PM me for more info on keeping your accs.

Not really a point in babysitting your bot, you may as well just play the game tbh. Bot hard or go home.
 

Maybe its a move from Jagex to shutdown bot makers?.
"Oh thats a new bot, lets make them appear "undetectable" for a while and then when there is a bigger userbase, lets ban them all"

This very well could be possible. I've seen this happen before with a different game (WoW) and a bot company that was very small at the start like RM. We got up to about 1k users and the bans started rolling in, slowly, 1-3 every week or so. Then BAM over half the forum was hit with perma bans, myself included. As for our situation here, I've lost hundreds of accounts ( I'm a big bot stress testing kind of guy, lots of suiciding etc ) and I'd gladly lose hundreds more for RM. This has seriously been the best client I've every used, and I've used all the big name clients, and some smaller named ones that re no longer around. RM will easily get through this, and things will be peaceful again, I can sense it <3

This confirms they are detecting botting clients specifically and did not just the catch them the normal way

This was posted 26 days ago, perhaps it could be a lead as to how bots are being detected? He said that they are confident that the use of this controller would not warrant a ban, which would mean the type of input could possibly be related?

A botwatch heuristic I found

Possible result of new developers? He also said they worked well in a small team but it's possible that's just for Deadman or OSRS.

I'm thinking this plan he is referring to is the leaked document that Arbiter posted on the forum about how they plan to handle bots.

Edit:
"Other information at our disposal that we can use to verify who has been accessing what"

Unless he's talking about mouse movements I think they are detecting something to do with hardware, if viable.

2) 64bit or 32bit: 64
3) Installer or Standalone: installer for osx, standalone for windows 7
4) OSRS, RS3, or DarkScape: rs3
5) How many bans? (Please specify number of accounts banned and total number of accounts): 3
5) Were you banned on a different account in the past few weeks?: month or so ago?
6) Additional notes: I appreciate you investing time into this

 

[sabbath]

any feedback on the investigation?

Powerbot and tribot will always be silent. Not because of clients being unaffected, but because for them cash>users

Tribot is ofc better than powershitbot.

VPN is not going to do shit against a ban, unless you bot on your main and use that as an excuse for being "hacked."

And even then it does not work anymore ;p
Jagex ignores it, if botted on the account its banned, if even you did not do it yourself
 

Because it is purely misinformation. He was not banned on RuneMate himself and was not flagged, so of course he won't be flagged on other clients. There are numerous reports of flagged users being flagged across clients. I had already warned him on the shoutbox from dispersing misinformation.

We are Runemate,
We are Legion,
We do not forgive,
We do not forget
Jagex, you should have expect us.
(Atm they prob. did)

2) 64bit or 32bit: 64 bit
3) Installer or Standalone: installer
4) OSRS, RS3, or DarkScape: RS3
5) How many bans? (Please specify number of accounts banned and total number of accounts): TODAY: botted till client went down, only 1 ban out of 6 today, private network, no VPN use. Pretty lucky this time.
5) Were you banned on a different account in the past few weeks?: LAST WEEK: 6 member accounts chain-banned last week, VPN used, all accounts on different worlds doing different activities, all got busted together 48hr ban, leading me to believe they somehow found out computer's HWID and chain banned, since VPN was used so no static IP address.
6) Additional notes: keep up the great work Runemate developers, looking forward to seeing the bot back up again

Currently runnning 3 tests will update which account got banned tomorrow morning

botting tut island using tribot aand logging out straight after:

Logging in with powerbot and skipping tut island with a bit of trolling aswell for a lol to take my anger out after my bans:

Doing tut island then logging out straight after:

 
Anyone get bans on osrs other than tut island btw?

atm i'm using a color bot

Those who say only RM is affected are delusional. The only reason other bots aren't making this a big deal is because their bots get banned on a daily basis, in hundreds if not thousands because of them being heavily detectable plus their userbase is quite large.

Their bot sucks and if something caused large amount of bans, it'll be just like any other day. They wouldn't know for shit if its client detection or a shitty bot. RM is still the most powerful undetected bot and hopefully the client detection will be mitigated soon as well.

That doesn't matter, you're still using SMART which is easily detectable. You're most likely worse off since SMART hasn't been actively developed in nearly 4 years and benland doesn't care about it, if it does get detected no one will fix it.

RM is the best Java bot.

The last major commit to SMART was on 22 august 2013... Since then there have been a few misc fixes and additions from tls which hardly do anything (Allowing it to work on OSX and getHash). Benland has said he doesn't care about SMART at all and he'll do nothing to it.

 

[eurgh]

I turned off my bot before going to bed, I was power levelling, so it was harder for them to detect me since the actions were's entirely bot like.


But i'm safe and sound while waiting for this to blow over.
