Hanbot is a scripting platform for League of Legends that typically uses a bypass to avoid detection by Riot's anti-cheat systems. Because using such tools violates Riot's Terms of Service, any "guide" for a bypass comes with a high risk of a permanent account suspension or hardware ID (HWID) ban.
Orbwalker: Perfecting "kite" movements between auto-attacks.
- Revoke compromised credentials, reset MFA methods, perform device wipe for affected endpoints.
- Collect device artifacts: installed apps, Accessibility service logs, SMS logs, network traffic for IoC hunting.
To combat Hanbot bypass, game developers and security experts employ various countermeasures:
Beyond the personal risks, there's an ethical and community aspect to consider. Cheating undermines the spirit of fair play and can ruin the gaming experience for others. It creates an unfair environment where honest players feel discouraged and disillusioned. Game developers and communities are continually working to combat cheating, implementing robust anti-cheat systems and promoting fair play.
6. Recommendations (prioritized)
- Replace SMS OTP with phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2 / hardware keys) for high-value accounts.
- Block sideloading and enforce app installation from trusted enterprise-managed sources.
- Deploy Mobile Threat Defense and EDR with behavioral monitoring for Accessibility abuse, overlays, and SMS access.
- Audit and revoke unnecessary app permissions; alert on new Accessibility/Device Admin grants.
- Train users on phishing and permission-grant risks; run simulated phishing and permission-review exercises.
- Maintain and apply threat intelligence feeds and update detection rules for HanBot IoCs.
