I've gone on about this at length before, but I was hoping I might be able to throw this question out to the general CoHostaverse to see what people's feelings are.
These days, a lot of software (particularly games of many stripe) are supported by and require Anticheat software. Anticheat can take many shapes, but usually is it some manner of software that is granted very high privileges, and is allowed to operate in obfuscation without user intervention or visibility. There are a lot of different opinions on such software, in either direction.
My question for you all: Is anticheat software a vulnerability? Is anticheat software fundamentally unsafe?
Do you trust anticheat software? If your favorite game suddenly demanded it, would you install it? Or drop the game entirely?
