That doesn't matter AT ALL, i hope you don't work for EPIC or Riot security team, because that'd be very sad.. https://valorantradar.com/ https://valorantradar.com/ The only way to protect an online game is by hardening your SERVER SIDE logic Even cloud-gaming you can cheat easily by reading pixels, even easier and more performant with machine learning helpers Focus on your logic on the server, stop thinking you can put a lock on my PC, it's a lost fight And even then, there are HW tools to cheat, let's not talk about HDMI hacks

Okay but that's just goalpost moving. I say you can't snoop packets and you move on to talking about HDMI hacks. You're missing the point in your haste to win the argument though: HDMI hacks present a barrier to entry, because now the player needs to buy specialized hardware. Also they won't work as well as packet sniffing (you can't as easily predict where a player is, since you only have pixel information and not skeleton information). Anti-cheat "works" by preventing the majority of players from cheating. The goal isn't to eliminate all cheating. If you can eliminate 99% of cheating using a rootkit, then that rootkit is definitely worth it.

I agree with you on that, except for the last part, you now affect your legit users, and give them false hope of never playing against cheaters
