I wouldn't have assumed that a cheater's ability to effect things on a game server would mean they could execute whatever code they wanted on my personal computer unless that server was running on my system.
Spawning money and vehicles sound like pretty harmless cheats you'd expect in a game like grand theft auto.
- mopsi 4y agoI would assume it. If attacker can send my game arbitrary commands for execution without client side filtering out things like moving my character around (unless context allows it, eg waiting for a mission to start), there are good odds they can cause a buffer overrun and execute code directly too. Games usually aren't in memory-safe languages.
- doodlesdev 4y agoAlso remember this game is P2P, there is no saving that on PC, on consoles it works because it's a "safe" environment but on PC even with rootkit levels of anticheat you don't have control over the machine running the game and can't prevent it from messing things up
