[Discussion] Detection Methods

So like many here who were hit in the Hyperelk wave I've returned from my ban and am looking for ways to get back that performance from a rotation bot. I get the impression Elk was kind of ahead of its time slightly so I'm targetting a little bit less performant than that.

I've managed to create a super basic python rotation bot that uses Hekili and some accompany weakauras and basically just presses the spell it sees but my question is how can I increase the security of this bot?

I'm not using pyautogui but rather a different method of sending keys but my question is how detectable is this? Additionally, I heard the intercept drivers might have been a detection vector for Elk so I'm trying to avoid that too.

I'm enjoying working on the bot more than I am actually playing the game so looking for avenues to go down next to get that next level, focusing on security for myself first and then rotation performance.

Does anybody have any insight into methods of sending inputs safely to the client? How to get information out of the game into the bot so it can make smarter choices? Where should I go next to learn more.

Check simcraft and also understand the class you are playing. If you do both, it will highly increase your performance.

Only thing I know about detection vectors is that most of the available bots uses interception. You could even find an interception folder on GGL Private version back in BFA/SL. Because of that, I don't think Elk was flagged for it. It was something else. The attention and public advertisement doomed them and ofc it's easy to get your .exe

Hey man,
I've been working on my own pixel bot for the past year, I know a thing or two about the Lua API. Slide into my DMs if you want, I'd love to help a fellow dev out. I don't know much about rotation bots, but I'm sure I can help you out with some stuff.

Added you. I'm focusing on rotations around high end PvE content.
