Drop in a StarCraft: Brood War replay and the browser-based tool checks players for habits associated with the Pluto bot.

For
StarCraft: Brood War players checking ladder replays
Worth noticing
The page reports testing on 2,889 Pluto replays and 40 human players across 21 games; no humans were flagged, though the author warns that this is not proof of general accuracy.

Field notes

The checker treats replays as player-by-player evidence: team games are supported, while some very short games may not contain enough play for a result. Its three signals are behavioral patterns rather than a general bot detector, and the page explicitly cautions that “No sign of a bot” does not clear a player. Replay parsing uses screp, compiled to run in the browser.
