Re: Security stop game hacks
Wuhu hacks are finally solved : )
Companies like Valve spending millions of Euros for Anti Hack Protections but you found the solution to prevent it.
Okay sorry now seriously, there is no way to get 100% security thats only the theoretically maximum.
So for example your md5 check doesnt prevent Memory Modifications, the files will never be touched by such hacks.
There are many good Idea to prevent hacks, but there is no 100% solution to stop everything.
Re: Security stop game hacks
well it's good idea but it's already applied on crossfire it check the whole game folder by md5 check , but guess what tons of hacks there
+ you said it gona check game folder over and over .. which by my experience will cause fps lag
Re: Security stop game hacks
Jap, bad idea. Easy to bypass aswell...You talk about "low level" hacks like a edited config.pk or some changed maps.. That's nothing you need if you know how to play with packets. What you can do, is to check for loaded dlls.. but that can be bypassed too.
Re: Security stop game hacks
Like Striker said, there are no fool proof ways to stop hacking altogether, even with the packets going from client to server can be manipulated, piggy backed. you just need to get as much security in as possible. but nothing is 100% fool proof.
Re: Security stop game hacks
The best way to stop hacks would be to not store the client on the gamers PC.
You could stream the game to the player through a citrix network for example.
But even this might be hard since it will eat your internet and the server performance.

or you just secure your shit serversided.. ^^
