Title: Anti-Cheat, Open-Source Alternative to PB? Post by: SharpestTool on February 10, 2009, 12:39:15 AM So...was doing some reading after I saw the post about by RAZR in the community ban-list...
And this is only worth the effort if people think OA is big enough... but there's a project out there called ETACE, ET AntiCheatEffort...sounds punkbusteresque, but open-source. I have no idea how it could be made to fit with the GPL, since it definitely has "closed-source" pieces to it, but...it might be something to think about if OA grows big enough. http://etace.ycn-hosting.com/ (http://etace.ycn-hosting.com/) Title: Re: Anti-Cheat, Open-Source Alternative to PB?

Often people call others cheaters when theyre not. So imo its good enough to make a demo of a suspected cheater then show it to people who actually know what a cheat looks like and if a cheat is confirmed, Ban simple and effective i think Anticheat often doesnt deliver because cheats develope aswell.

A sufficient GHz with a capable video card isn't very hard to NOT do these days.Title: Re: Anti-Cheat, Open-Source Alternative to PB?

Other than possible usage issues there is no objection to open source hex editing detection/whatever those punks are using these days?
