Talk:Warden (software)

message: The link 3 (mmowned) states
Warden does not scan outside WoW.exe, it does not look at any windows, processes, etc outside the game's address space.
Nitpicker's Corner: Yes it does some very specific and very limited scans to see if certain drivers etc are loaded into the system. But that is the only real exception.
So there is a "real exception" to "not scan outside WoW.exe", which means that it scans outside of WoW.exe. I am removing the claim that it does not, as the source does not substantiate it. Indeed, it seems to indicate the contrary.melikamp (talk) 01:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Address Space

message: Warden has been "somewhat" reversed. See the topic on Valhalla Legends' forum for further reference: http://forum.valhallalegends.com/index.php?topic=17356.0 This wikipedia article needs updating. --FrOzeN (talk) 12:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's good information, but it's pretty near the sharp edge and hasn't received much coverage yet. The key thing about WP is the need for third-party reliable sources. In this case this means that once the work has been verified by either news outlets, security researchers or other similar sources in an article or peer review, it can go in the article. Hope this helps.Gazimoff (talk) 13:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, ok. The implementation at the moment is still temporary, but works (for StarCraft). For those readers (namely, with programming skills) that are interested in digging further into warden, then the Bot Development board and Skull Security's Warden page should contain the latest public information regarding the inner workings of Warden. --FrOzeN (talk) 14:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Warden Reversed

message: Comparing the sony_rootkit secretly included with Sony music CDs  to warden is incorrect.
The problem with the Sony music CDs is that the end user was not informed and did not agree to the self-installing root kit that altered the Windows OS to enforce copy protection.
Blizzard (The makers of world of warcraft) makes it 100% clear to the end users that blizzard can and will collect data from the users by means of the WORLD OF WARCRAFT®
TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT   and WORLD OF WARCRAFT® END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
See http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html  14. Acknowledgments
Also see http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/eula.html
You must agree to the TOS and EULA therefore you agree to the presence of warden furthermore every patch update that is made to world of warcraft game software requires the end users to agree to the TOS and EULA before they can use the game software. 209.158.240.19 (talk) 21:02, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Misleading information 

message: Any references for it being in the other 3 games? Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 09:59, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I put it in there because I have first-hand knowledge of this.  Open Starcraft's Battle.snp, Diablo II's D2Client.dll, or Warcraft III's game.dll in Notepad (or a hex editor).  Search for the string "WardenClient.cpp". (WoW.exe also has this string.) -- Myria 21:17, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure that the Blizzard Launcher does NOT run Warden, and have edited the article as such. While it does scan you system, it was designed to gives users a warning before continuing on to logging on, where Warden would then catch them. Nothing is transmitted while using the Launcher, and it can by bypassed if you wish. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/launcher.html -- GermanShepherd 15:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, an expert computer programmer can always find a way to bypass any kind of scanner if they know how to "externally" use the hard drive and if the anti-cheat software is on their hard drive (which is the case with Warden).--99.237.222.73 (talk) 18:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Warden Operation 

message: The name Warden has not been publicly acknowledged by Blizzard to be the correct name of the tool.
It has now, but likely by accident.
On page 10, line 14, it states:
Blizzard employs a software program called Warden as a technical measure that
prevents unauthorized access to WoW and restricts users from loading unauthorized copies of
WoW.
Before I make the change, I'd like to make sure there is consensus. Maged123 22:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename to "Warden (software)" 

message: Should this article mention D3 since it isn't even out yet?  I presume the game will use the software, it just seems like we are jumping the gun.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.146.119 (talk) 20:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diablo III 

message: This article seems heavily biased. remember the wikipedia articles should present both sides of the story. I'm tagging it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nblschool (talk • contribs) 02:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope.  In fact, I'll remove it.  It's served its purpose - the article appears to be adequately neutral now, for the most part. -K10wnsta (talk) 21:05, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The wowglider section says the courts "have held Merc personally liable for the awarded money". But the article doesn't explain who "merc" is, and neither of the refs in the following para (that para has no explicit ref) seem to say who Merc is either. -- Finlay McWalter • Talk 21:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
