      @@iris.87 User mode is in the most outer ring of the operating system, meaning that it has the least permissions. The kernel mode access however is in the most inner ring, the same as the kernel. That way it dosen't need permission to do things so whereas a normal anticheat would need to get permission to do something a kernel mode access anticheat can do it without asking and without anyone knowing. It can also tweak with the system like the kernel can.

The cheat program can trust the cheater to give it access to all relevant processes, while the anti-cheat has to find those by itself. There may be kernel level cheats, but from my understanding there is no reason for that unless they are trying to counteract specific kernel level anti-cheat programs.
      Also, the big difference is that a cheater decides that he wants the cheat and can take a calculated risk. It is unreasonable to expect to take this risk from everyone who wants to play a game.

    • @AruthaRBXL
      @AruthaRBXL 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      from what I know of, DMA can be detected usually in very simple ways. EAC and faceit tend to check the serial numbers of pci-e cards to determine if its a legitimate card or a DMA device. EAC or faceit (cant remember which) will take the extra step and try to call certain functions on the PCI-E card to see what data it returns, so if it calls for the same function the most common DMA device uses and returns data from memory then it is a definite DMA device and will know you're cheating. This is a good way to get around people who spoof the serial of the device to make it seem if it is a nvidia gpu etc.

    • @fortender97x
      @fortender97x 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      A DMA card is basically a PCIe expansion card that you plug into your PC. So it's recognized by the system as an additional piece of hardware that can be observed as such. To remain undetected you need to spoof several info such as the hardware id and "look like some legit hardware" such as a network card. Obviously, if a lot of those DMA cheaters flashed the same config onto their DMA card, chances are high that anti-cheat devs find a pattern in the data they captured. If i recall correctly, that's what riot did when they banned a lot of them. They found out that they all spoofed a specific network card.

    My issue with this is that cheater aren't using injection cheats. At least not the good ones. They have DMA cheats or other ways that require something either more invasive or entirely new to catch. Someone with Google and $40 can figure out how to do this. Especially frustrating in very high ELO fps lobbies like I'm used to playing (cs faceit10/valorant imt3)radiant.) these dudes without something more invasive can just run free. Unless they have something that can detect if something is reading the memory that shouldn't be.

You'd be destroying system wide performance and stability, and the only way to avoid that would be to (2) pre-allocate memory for the game to run in, fill that memory with nonsense, and then dynamically free and reallocate memory as needed for game resources. Not only does that essentially guarantee all sorts of bugs, but it actually creates a new attack vector since an attacker could target the free/reallocate feature in such a way as to be indistinguishable from intended behavior. Even though games already run these kinds of dynamic free/reallocate features, they don't run inside of a pre-allocated memory space which is being filled with nonsense. It actually makes it easier to distinguish intended from unintended behavior that way. Your idea would increase the likelihood of bugs AND attack vectors at the same time without improving performance, stability, or security. In other words, there's a reason no one has done this.

      Streamers and top players start complaining and recommends normal players to stop playing. Even complaints will cause normal players to be suspicious of good players (this is the state of cs2 matchmaking)

  • @havaldbulle2831
    @havaldbulle2831 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Well, you answered the whole question with yes, but only part of it is yes. The anti cheat is not allowed to upload the data to their server, at least in europe because of our data protection laws(dont know about US laws tbh). So yes, it can see the whole ram, but it is not allowed to upload the data to any server etc.. So the question is first part yes, rest is no and the rest is the most concerning part cause here, the data can be seen by the AC locally on your pc, but also only processed there. No data not pertaining the game can be sent to a riot server and many people tried to prove that riot does this but couldnt find any. No network packages etc.
    I think its dangerous to take such a compound question, just take the first part and answer it with yes disregarding the rest cause that creates the assumption that all of the question was correct. I dont think you did it intentionally, but its still misleading.

    • @war_muffin363
      @war_muffin363 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are still many concerns with kernel level anti cheat even with that in mind. So much so that your point is unfortunately moot.
      For starters, at the end of the day if the code isn't open source, you cannot trust it. The government and the game company can promise that none the data isn't being sent to the server all they want, but that doesn't change the fact that they can still do it and potentially get away with it. Google getting caught (and sued I believe) for still tracking your incognito searches to use for ads comes to mind.
      Secondly, Kernel level anticheat still has the issue of security. It is bad practice to expose the Kernel of an os to any program willy nilly as kernels were invented mainly for security- ie preventing random (and untrusted) programs from having free reign on the computer. Recently, a ransomware virus has been getting around thanks to it's ability to latch onto Genshin Impact's Kernel Level Anticheat and use it to bypass windows defender.
      Laws only affect those willing to play nice or those without the ability to pay for good lawyers.
      You did mention that people tried to prove that Riot doesn't send data to their servers in EU, but that way alone isn't exhaustive for *any* strategy that they could use to obfuscate that data collection nor does it prove that they won't start doing it later on.
      While I agree that making such an act illegal is a step in the right direction, at the end of the day, the better thing to do is to find an alternative to KLAC entirely.

    I just wish that despite all of the warnings against it, the complete lack of abuse of such platforms is weird. People like to draw threads like Vanguard is owned by Riot and Riot is owned by Tencent and Tencent is a "supposed" CCP entity. Yet not a single soul was able to prove any of it is going anywhere in this techy and information age. That being said if regular anti-cheat was reliable I wouldnt bat an eye. But it works. If anything, non-kernel level anti cheats have lost a lot of faith. Valorant is a haven compared to CS because of the complete lack of cheaters in my experience.
    I just cant imagine a scenario where my data getting stolen by some big corpo or country will ever change my life unless im fucking with things that need protection. If Vanguard was stealing everyones data, what for? To all at once take over the world via video game anti-cheat. Obviously we leave the door open but until any cybersecurity specialist comes forth and says what theyre doing, whats the point. No point listening to people rambling about how China is a vampire that owns Tencent and wants to harvest our data to build a mega rocket to nuke the moon.

      Well, are you willing to sell your soul and shake the devil's hand, just to reduce the chance of cheaters? It's not even 100% efficient btw, cheaters can get around that. It just increases the barrier of entry, and once it is breached (which they frequently do), they distribute new programs (or whatever) to cheat.
      The alternative is a simple cheating-reporting system and server-side detection of cheating. This is what I am going to do as well for my game. The server will check every ~10th data package incoming (otherwise it would be too much) (for example the player's position) and when it detects something weird (too much distance in too short of time), it will increase the suspicion level of that player and check more frequently (or all packages). After all it could have been some mistake, but to be sure it needs to detect that behavior multiple times. Someone who cheats once will cheat multiple times.
      And it doesn't require any invasive client-side programs, and I don't need to play arms race with cheaters on a highly complex kernel level. All it takes are some smart algorithms.

      in truth, NOTHING needs Kernel Level Access to your computer other than the Operating System and the Antivirus measure shipped with it (Meaning like Windows Defender, not any pre-built OEM contract programs). Any other program that wants Kernel Level access is something that isn't needed, and is a huge privacy concern especially in our capitalist society that loves to get your information in any way possible and sell it to the highest bidder. A kernel level anticheat may be more efficient at its job in some scenarios due to it's capability to access all memory on the machine, but at least in my opinion, that added efficiency is nowhere near worth the privacy violations that can legally occur since you're willingly giving them kernel level access to do whatever they please on your machine. This also means that if, somehow, that kernel level software, which has been given permissions, gets highjacked by malware, it can now do whatever the hell it wants, and your antivirus will most likely never detect that it's there.
      Edit: Fixed a wording oversight when referring to installed antivirus programs, I originally said any installed antivirus, which is definitely not the right call, especially with Pre-Builts being shipped with bloat like Norton or McAfee. Thanks to @iris.87 for pointing that out.
