And in your own quote they stated it’s the user mode anticheat, and in Riot’s statement they said it’s an old/legacy anti cheat. This is not Vanguard, the kernel level anti cheat.
- worthless-trash 4y agoJust to further clarify, Code running in the kernel context is different than code running in the user context. Another process can modify user context, whereas it is expected that code running in the kernel context is "much harder". A dedicated attacker could write kernel code which does the modifications, however this raises the bar and the anti cheat software could the game from running if it detects any unsigned drivers. All this does is raise the bar to where the game is run into virtualization where the host OS can inspect the guests memory and infer details that way. The cat and mouse game goes on forever, the trick is to make it just hard enough so that the average person who wants to cheat will not not have the time, patience or financial incentive to do so.
