Did Jagex confirm they are able to detect botting clients?

[Abuse]

I've seen many of your dismiss the idea of Jagex being able to tell you are using a botting client, however they recently posted this article:

 

http://services.runescape.com/m=news/third-party-clients?oldschool=1

 

Which pretty much confirms they are able to detect our clients

 

Thoughts?

most likely can, wouldnt doubt it.

no they can only detect that you arent using the normal client otherwise they would just be able to ban everyone whos botting.

 

Also they cant just ban everyone not using the offical client because most people use osbuddy

Yes, I'm pretty sure they can just detect if you are using a third party client or their original client.

They can't see which client you are using though, so that's a guess for them.

 

If you are hooking mirror client on runescapes official client, they won't be able to see it.

As Khalessi said, I'm pretty sure it's easy to detect. If I had to make an educated guess, the oldschool client and osbuddy client (since its owned by jagex) throw some custom signals to prove it's a verified client

The difference here is that OSBuddy cooperates with Jagex, they probably can know if it's OSBuddy or not

 

Someone pointed out that if they were able to detect botting clients then they would ban everyone. The thing here is, is that if they were to do that, the bot developers would be able to find ways around their methods of detection rather quickly by trial and error

 

(Opinion) I think they are always able to tell if it's a rogue client, and wait for their bot-detection algorithms to kick in to confirm if the person is botting or not, followed by a few day wait to disguise their methods of detection

yes

Given that they said that they are able to differentiate between osbuddy and this new graphical client (and that it seems to be very similar to bot clients) I don't know how else to take it than that they surely do.

I disagree with you on that last part, I think they wait to record any patterns in the bot so if the patterns are ever repeated Jagex automatically knows its a bot. The reason why I think its like that is because I started to bot a certain method and get a ban hammer after 8 days or so, but recently I've been getting it next day or even same day.

Osbuddy is also 3rd party program? I see people using mouse keys and id say its a 3rd partying to, isnt it?

[Special]

Yes they can..

[Lego]

duh

[Solution]

If course they 'confirm you're a bot' just like they confirm they're banning every single bot out there. 
Not.

3rd party is everything that isnt from jagex

They can't detect shit. People get banned botting on the official client just as much as using 3rd party clients. There are some of us who actually manage to bot without a single ban using OSBot client though so that proves there is no "client patterns". I've botted accounts for 4-5 months before and even reached #79 in a skill using OSBot client. I started a few bots recently and I'm running 28 bots atm, out of which my longest is at 23 day runtime, so I'd like to know where is this client detection?

 

FYI: Their bot busting team banned lots of legit players using the official client even in the last few days. The people who developed the bot busting system are a bunch of clowns and nothing more.
