Blizz used to (maybe still does) run a program called the warden that would look at active processes. People used to think it was a privacy violation but supposedly it was programmed to disregard anything but specific 3rd party cheat software
Addon programming in WoW got quite advanced too. Some addons such as the hardcore tracker (1 death = delete char) will detect if you ever log on even for a second without the addon running by checking your /played time and comparing with the played time with the addon, and automatically flag you in its system as cheating if you do. It can also detect if you do certain in-game actions that go against Ironman rules such as accepting trades from other players before max level, or going to the auction house even for a second
Probably can’t have either of these work with p99 but if you could that could be a way to prevent cheating
