Warden (software) - Detection Methods

Detection Methods

The things Warden currently looks for in-process includes but is not limited to:

  • Model edits.
  • Known cheat modules (DLLs)
  • Known modifications to game functions
  • Known cheating addons
  • Speedhacks
  • Known API hooks from cheats

The things Warden currently looks for out-of-process includes but is not limited to:

  • Known cheating drivers

Warden also has a protection module in it, which provides users security from malware, keyloggers, and rootkits which hide keyloggers. If Warden detects a known piece of malware active on the system, it will block the user from logging into the game, and will display a screen which directs them to Blizzard's support site for removal instructions.

On 23 June 2010 Blizzard updated the Warden Anti-Cheat Platform to version 2 - named Warden 2.0 - with World of Warcraft Patch 3.3.5.

Warden now scans Warcraft II and III game memory space only, with exception of a few tools.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
