I know it was brought up many times ... but little example: well today friend invited me to test great free golf game named Shot Online http://www.shot-online.com/ and guess what Crash bum Freeze ... it seems like HS now crash game or freeze Your comp when PG there ... http://info.ahnlab.com/english/product/01_1_15.html --- so first GameGuard (nProtect) mentioned here https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=47827&highlight=gameguard then PunkBuster in well known sticky https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=90067&highlight=punkbuster and now HackShield noticed mentioned here too https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=119779&highlight=hackshield --- so far only game anticheat what PG works with is VAC/VAC2 from Valve ... i mean i hope it works , someone please confirm or blast my hope ... --- maybe little suggestion to create sticky covering anticheats in games versus ProcessGuard i think it will be worth as PunkBuster covers ~ 21 multiplayer games including 3 MMO , including most popular ones ... see partial list http://www.punkbuster.com/ GameGuard covers ~ 20 MMO games , some of them are quite popular ... see partial list http://eng.nprotect.com/partner.htm HackShield covers ~ 15 MMO games see partial list http://www.hackshields.com/customers.html --- maybe authors of Process Guard, System Safety Monitor, AbuseShield and Blink (and maybe more) should form alliance against such actions ... --- well in the end this prevents PG to be deployed or recommended to normal home end users or in game clubs / cyber cafes / internet cafes ... oh well p.s. maybe that PunkBuster sticky should be renamed to anticheats and all 3 named (PB,HS,GG) warning placed there ...
Trust me, the authors have themselves helped these anti-cheat systems. We only see the bright side of the moon, while they work in shadows. e.g. : GameGuard's driver is designed by Sysinternals (the makers of Process Explorer) Also, if I remember correctly, I am pretty sure DiamondCS helped iNCA's GameGuard past the "Remove Process Guard or you won't be able to play our game" crisis. But heh, that's just me...
