Honestly, they're all probably legit. The easiest way (from a programming standpoint) to tell what zone you are in is to look at your log files. That's also the only allowed way.

To do it the banned way you'd have to watch someone's screen, parse the text on it, and then look for a zone loading message ... when (again) you could get that exact same info, already in text form, by just reading the log file. There's zero technical reason to even make such a program the illicit way.

(Now, if you wanted to write a program that, say, told you when a mob spawned, that would require the banned way, since mob spawns don't show up in log files.)
