this is sidman11 and I just wanted to know, how does AnhLab detect hacks?
I just had an idea that I code code a process name changer if it searches for process names....
Thanks!
Ahem. Hackshield runs like Punkbuster: So here is a list.
Real-time scanning of memory, a feature also prominent in many spyware programs, by placing a Hackshield Client on players' computers searching for known hacks/cheats using a built-in database.
Throttled two-tiered background auto-update system using multiple Internet Master Servers to provide end-user security ensuring that no false or corrupted updates can be installed on players' computers.
Frequent status reports (encrypted) are sent to the Server by all players. When necessary, the Server raises a violation which (depending upon settings) will cause the offending player to be removed from the game.
Admins can also manually remove players from the game for a specified number of minutes or permanently ban if desired.
Servers can be configured to instruct clients to calculate partial MD5 hashes of files inside the game installation directory. The results are compared against a set configuration and differences logged, and optionally, the client removed from the server.
Admins can request actual screenshot samples from specific players and/or can configure the Server to randomly grab screenshot samples from players during gameplay.
An optional "bad name" facility is provided so that Admins can prevent players from using offensive player names containing unwanted profanity or racial slurs.
Search functions are provided for Admins who wish to search player's keybindings and scripts for anything that may be known to exploit the game.
Can be configured to allow players to self-administer game servers when the Server Administrator is not present entirely without the need for passwords, in which the players can call votes to have a player removed from the server.
Servers have an optional built-in mini HTTP web server interface that allows the game server to be remotely administered via a web browser from anywhere over the Internet.
Admins can stream their server logs in real time to another location. Non-profit organizations like CBL, LGA/LGN.
