A long time ago, before my frontal lobe had completely developed, I used to develop multiplayer game cheats. I now recognize that behavior as abhorrent, but in those days I thought it was l33t. In any case, no mater how good your protection is, how deep in the system you go, the cheaters can go deeper. Like anti-virus and DRM evasion will always win from detection. The cheaters have complete insight into any/all client side protection mechanisms, more importantly, the cheater owns the machine and the environment where your code runs. There is not a checksum that can not be faked, and no way to measure if any of your protections have been circumvented, because the code you use to measure can (and will) be patched.
