There is no hooking or calling of any code. The software simply reads the chatbuffer from the wowclient. You just wrote what it does. It types the text into the chatwindow (exactly the way other dualboxing software works. The difference here is that it does not read the keys coming from another dualChoc app but from the chat.)
Thanks for clearing that up for us.
I believe you are wrong about how you think (or at least how you say you think) other dual-boxing software works. Your site says you can do things like this:
Code:
/t PlayerName #cmd /assist Playername
... which legitimate dual-boxing software accomplishes /assist Playername by emulating keystrokes to WoW binds -- it would be very unreliable to execute a command like "/assist playername" by emulating typing. I don't exactly believe this is what you are doing.
Also, it is very much against Blizzard's policies to read the chatbuffer from the WoW client memory. Any time you need information about WoW-specific memory addresses or data structures to accomplish your goal, you can bet that it is NOT within the rules of the game, and has no place on a forum like this. As someone previously mentioned, they disabled the ability to do similar things via addons, and there are "blue posts" stating that if they removed the ability for an addon to do it, they do not want you to do it.
I don't believe this is a) a real application regardless of whether it is allowed or not, nor b) allowed as per the Terms of Service. If it was doing this and only this, it would not come in the form of 2 encrypted 3mb executables with protection against running in a Virtual Machine. It may even do what it claims to do in order to hide its real purpose. I wouldn't trust it one bit.
The "endorsed by Blizzard" bit is hugely misleading especially with what the app claims to do, and I believe this is simply a tactic to get as many people trying it as possible under the false pretense, to install whatever malware is packaged inside. I know at least one person has sent an email to hacks@blizzard.com about this, and I would recommend anyone else do the same.
