Either everyone on Earth who’s working on this has a skill issue (which is probably hubris?) or there’s not enough differing humanized enough aimbot from human aim (note: Valve manages to screw up even here, with cheaters in Premier basical

I’m interested in finding out how attack-defense style CTFs are affected by slopping. ENOWARS skorbor will probably significantly differ from the last time around.

Games very much are using server-side statistics analysis for cheat detection. Valve made a presentation about it and Epic has an API for feeding game state data to ML anticheat for aimbot detection (game-specific and in addition to their e

Aren’t most DMA cards just PCI-E FPGA things? In any case, DMA doesn’t magically make your shit UD - you can look at Unknowncheats and see.

Does Wine have any debugging tools with equivalent developer experience to Visual Studio’s debugger?

You could also do a trick some Windows stuff does - parse syscall indices from said dylib.

I’m interested in how LLMs handle obfuscated code. Throw LLM with IDA MCP at EasyAntiCheat_EOS.sys or the like (as the most common examples of heavily obfuscated software) and see how far they can get.

Anticheats will still have obfuscated code for obvious reasons (they don’t want to be reversed). Not sure they don’t induce some performance drop too - though maybe smaller compared to bad Denuvo implementation.

Do the cracks still need you to disable Hyper-V (which leads to disabling WSL and whatever else)? In addition, I’m not sure why they’re enabling test signing instead of using kdmapper or the like. Sure, anticheats will get way more mad at y

FYI this does not work for CTF challenges at least - I’ve seen a lot of rev/pwn challenges try to add magic refusal strings/prompt hijacking and models really don’t give a damn.

https://community.osr.com/t/locked-out-of-microsoft-partner-... Could be a related issue to this? Maybe Microsoft just doesn’t want driver developers for whatever reason.

They think that they are safe. They are not.

Given the love of Valve I’d bet Reddit/HN love lootboxes too, seeing Dota/TF2/CS all implemented them.

Probably not too hard with the LLM side itself assuming latest models and good tooling. The harder thing probably is getting a dataset for “all x64/ARM64 Windows drivers that aren’t already considered vulnerable”. Also it depends what’

Uh, isn’t the IDT one of these things that PatchGuard explicitly checks? Mind you, anticheats keep PatchGuard corralled these days because they want their own KiPageFault hooks assuming HVCI is not in place. The article doesn’t go too in de

Valve has some AI detection stuff for CS2, but it’s remarkably ineffective. VAC itself delivers small DLLs that get manual mapped by Steam service, do some analysis and send that to Valve (at least to the best of my knowledge, there may be

From what someone told me rev/crypto/misc are the most broken, with pwn/web being more iffy and depending on challenge specifics. I can't speak on AI usage very clearly (fun fact: just putting the challenge into ChatGPT&

Things are pretty brutal and some categories are more affected than others. A/D seems to be somewhat less affected.

> Steam proved gaming doesn't depend on Windows, Linux can do it too. Aren’t most games built on Windows and for Windows?

by not_a9 8mo ago
I am aware, but thank you. However, DMA seems to still be far from making your cheat invincible against anticheats.

Always a treat to see these people’s articles. Game hacking is wild - though in this case, wouldn’t enforcement of Secure Boot do the trick?

Anticheat has very different requirements to antimalware. Some interesting reads on what modern anticheats do: https://github.com/0avx/0avx.github.io/blob/main/article-3.m... https://github.co

Idle curiosity, but: does Linux have similar offerings to HVCI?

by not_a9 10mo ago
I don’t think Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 have Linux builds available for the common folk? Cyberpunk has a ARM64 Mac build, though.
