#39 has it right.

The fact is that Windows itself can already do this. Your web browser can do it. Warden has been able to do it for as long as it existed.

The new version of Warden is designed to make it harder to predict exactly what its doing. Who does that hurt? Botters. Who is complianing aobut this?

Follow the Slashdot story back to its source, and you come to a blog related to a program that allows you to hide programs from Warden. Who uses that? Botters.

Oh noes, the cheaters are upset!

The fact is that any program you run on your computer is capable of sending data back across the network. Its also capable of reading files. This is a non-story except to botters.
