WOW WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT INSTALLING LITERAL ROOTKITS FOR DRM/ANTICHEAT IS A BAD IDEA
they don't even help, because players have physical access to their computers lmfao
from a security standpoint, it's already joever
I mean, anti-cheat is like safes - they're never impossible to unlock by someone unauthorised, it's a matter of making it as hard as possible to do so.
But then, having a titanium safe does not install a backdoor in your damn house. There are no promises that anti-cheat makers could give to make it feel secure (that is, not having a damn hole in kernel level software) - if anyone ever was able to make 100% unexploitable software, anti-cheat wouldn't have to exist.
I feel the best way of handling it is server-side sanity checking and bringing back vote kicking
having everyone physically be in the same room would also help. people don't tend to cheat when they're within punching distance
this tbh. there's all these dingus dongles for thunderbolt, PCIe and even firewire, to poke arbitrary memory over DMA in a way that's almost completely undetectable. a veritable hacker's dozen of 'em
