Sorry guys.. but the SMART people (aka not the retards at eff.org) have allready fully observed the process of the warden program and reported that it is not a threat to any information of any kind.
The warden keeps within itself a large table of hashs (a string of letters and numbers) that are the result of KNOWN hacking programs that blizzard does not allow. It compares all running proccesses to this table, and should one match, the only thing it sends back to blizzard is the hash that matched. Remember the hash is known, and it dosn't contain any information except that it's telling blizzard what program it found running on your computer.
Aside from maybe logging in, the warden never sends anything more to blizzard unless it found a hacking program that it knows. And because the program is known, there is a much less chance of "false positives", much unlike anti viruses which almost allways have a piece of code ment to combant unknown/new viruses. |
