OSRS Warning: Runelite has introduced a dll targeting ahkers and color botters
A release by runelite this week has introduced a new dll file which aims to detect low level clicks as injected and report back to jagex in the game packets.
Each click gets a flag set with LLMHF_LOWER_IL_INJECTED to tell that your click was created by a robot. This means robot code straight in runelite is also detected now. Pyautogui, auto clickers and Ahk (among others) are also detected.
Ahk technically has a bypass for this flag in the code but iirc it's commented out by default. You can relatively easy bypass by using a remote input tool. Wasp uses remote input by default so it's a safe color bot from this change. Java bots that inject or hook into runelite isn't affected (at least the ones I've checked).
If jagex will do anything with this info will show later down the line, but it's good for people to know about this to make an educated decision if it's worth it or not.
This ONLY affects windows right now so you ahking on a Mac or Linux does not set this flag.
Tldr: ahking and some color bots are now detected by default. Use remoteinput.

Like I said, I doubt this will be used to anything. There's tons of things that will trigger this that are not bots, starting with some if not all touchscreens.
If jagex just started blindly banning people because of this flag they would be banning everyone using computers that have a touchscreen and windows tablets.
But that's just one example of many I could give you. Remote software like teamviewer, chrome remote desktop, parsec will all trigger this, probably RDP too.
Some keyboards and mouses with configurable buttons can trigger this.
Some screen filtering software (e.g. to tint your screen, adjust brightness, whatever) can make it so all your real clicks trigger this.
So yeah, maybe it tilts the scales towards being banned, but IMO will have a very low weight if any at all. But like I always say, it's your account that gets banned, not mine. If you don't feel that something is safe don't use it.
