Re: How to Protect your python log
i found this post on plazma’s blog
Some noticed patch 9.16 was a tad bigger than patches in the past. It included 2 very important additional items not mentioned in the release notes. It included a script that records file names in the RES_MODS folder. If a file by name or size that has previously been flagged as illegal is present the account gets flagged. After a review of the account the folks at WG can activate the second part. Once the mod is loaded it will ping the server to let them know a potential illegal mod is active in a random battle.
The server will ping back requesting a “sample”. Replay files are telemetry data only and can only be used to identify a very low range of mods. These “samples” are video recordings taken from your video output so they see what you see. If a sample is requested you may notice a temporary drop in FPS followed by a ping spike as the video is uploaded. By having video proof it allows WG to issue a ban without appeal as they have solid irrefutable evidence.
