This was said on the LazyPressing Forum by the developers. Also people with xMod are banned quite often. I noticed with xMod it installs plugins into your Clash folder (seen using iFile) it could be quite possible for supercell to see something out of order.

Anyways I prefer what is being done atm with pixel search.

IMHO SuperCell will start detecting if CoC is running on an emulator. If an emulator is detected, CoC will not run.

I concur - given the proliferation of pixel bots that all rely on BlueStacks and/or Genymotion, an emulator check is the obvious first step.

It is technically possible to check for memory reads, particularly on a rooted device, but I haven't seen any evidence of that sort of code in the binary.  I'd be very interested in any sort of proof beyond "a developer of a pixel bot, who is unable to figure out memory reads, says memory reads are bad."

I have no intention of making anything commercial out of my work, and intend to remain a very small target. It's far more likely that SuperCell would target the existing bots before going after a nebulous memory-reading bot that currently has a user base of less than 10 people. I will however, start to take steps to protect my code against the sort of scan that Droid claims to exist.  I have my doubts, but it's never a bad idea to take precautions.

Pixel bots are always going to be safer, there's no question of that. I can very much understand someone preferring to remain as far under the radar as possible. But when you've seen a memory reading bot make intelligent decisions about bases - taking collector levels, walls, traps, clan castle troops, etc into account.... it's very difficult to go back
