TPM is really badly implemented. When you upgrade your firmware, OS, everything can go south. Just upgrading your firmware with bitlocker enabled can brick your PC.

"Impossible to Cheat" Let me tell you that there is cheating in cloud rendering solution ( Stadia, AWS Luna ect ... ) So 100% there is cheating in your solution. It's trivial to read the screen.

In many code base you have custom errors that implement the error interface ( for http code and the like ), it's very common.

Looks very similar to what Upspin ( Go ) errors look like: https://github.com/upspin/upspin/blob/master/errors/errors.g... type Error struct { // Path is the Upspin path name

I guess this is similar to TPM / secure boot on a pc?

None of that talk about exploiting anti cheats, nowhere. Not a single concrete example. The goal of cheats is to make money not to hack PCs.

Scoring ect ... is kind of useless because it's not a proof, basically it means nothing tangible to be able to ban with 100% confidence. That's why ML is not good for detecting cheaters. It gives a score that is hard to use.

Kernel anti cheat in the client are the strongest form of protection by far, your comment makes no sense, anything userspace is easily spoofed. You can create a driver ( module ) that intercept calls and that is completely invisible to user

This hack has nothing to do with client cheats.

Testing code is usually testing your code not that third party contract changed. You make a lot of assumption about contract change which in reality should rarely happen.

I mean 300TB is nothing for a streaming service, like it woudn't even show on a dashboard. They probably did that over weeks which is invisible.

That argument does not hold when there is aws serverless pg available, which cost almost nothing for low traffic and is vastly superior to self hosting regarding observability, security, integration, backup ect... There is no reason to self

Not sure what's going on with the landing page but it's CPU / GPU heavy.

It's a userspace anti cheat so it's not a problem.

I don't think there is a modern database that have the safest options all turned on by default. For instance the default transaction model for PG is read commited not serializable One of the most used DB in the world is Redis, and by d

Can't this be done at runtime? Like the underlying calls can black list hardware address on read/write faults?

I always found wsl to be a hack and not a true Linux distro, fake pid 1 not really starting or shutting down ect... Even the docker integration is really odd. I know it was fixed with wsl2 but wsl1 had terrible i/o performance.
