An interesting bit of trivia: the first bot (that I'm aware of) to use deobfuscation of the game client was called Aryan. It was quite revolutionary for the cheating community because using the true game state worked so much better than the screen state. I don't know the specifics, but apparently the developers were threatened with legal action from Jagex. As part of their agreement with Jagex, the develoeprs released a new version of the client that sent a -1 up to the server for some field on the user that was always supposed to be positive. Jagex used this to mass-ban everyone who was using the bot.
