Nothing has happened the last dozen times Ganker has schizoed about an anti cheat why should I believe them now
>sea wires are tapped
>hardware level backdoors in everything
>90% of software has government mandated backdoors
it was compromised 20 years ago
>years of psychosis caused by kernel level anticheats
>still not a single technical proof for anything nefarious these programs are supposed to do
???????
>Update
Rootkit permissions and PS account permissions will allow Sony a certain amount of data access.
How much nobody knows.
Rootkit operates on ring 0 access to your PC. So it can access all data, including hardware level (make changes on OC etc). It access everything (current and cache memory) on your PC without your permission.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NProtect_GameGuard
It has full access to your PC as stated in wiki.
sure dude
show me the decompiled code and network calls

The kernel anticheat is not at fault there. The system was compromised the moment the attacker gained access to it. The way he conducted the attack could be done with literally any other driver that was installed on the system at the time.
>Genshin Impact does not need to be installed on a victim’s device for this to work; the use of this driver is independent of the game
i stand corrected infosec anon, my dumbass thought that the ransomware would target genshin players specifically
it's still pretty fascinating how ransomware authors use these drivers to compromise computers though, given that nprotect is written by asiatics it's probably vulnerable
okay, moron
do we really need kernel level anticheats? your average anticheat will cull 90% of the dipshits running around firing helicopters at people and the people who pay for kernel level hacks and play in a way to avoid suspicion should be allowed to do what they want.
Anon, they need to protect their premium currency, microtransactions, battlepass and whatever else they are doing to nickle & dime you.
Other anon is completely right, even non-competitive, co-op games have invasive anti-cheats these days, it's purely to sell MTX, otherwise people would just mod them in.
So what is the deal with this anti-cheat?
I know it's "kernel level access" or whatever, but what does that actually mean?
I've never played a game with nProtect so i haven't bothered educating myself on the issue. It wasn't until recently i learned that EAC is also "kernel level". How is nProtect worse than EAC? If at all
>It has full access to your PC as stated in wiki.
Check your taskmanager, Nprotect still runs in background even if you closed the game. that is my main concern.
Okay but what does it actually do?
>it has full access to your pc
>and? what is it doing with that?
>AND AND AND UHHH THAT'S BAD
>why?
>BECAUSE I SAID SO!?!
Give me your bank account details, I haven't done anything wrong to you yet.
A random stranger has assumed bad intentions. This does not. Checkmate.
but we're all friends here?
double checkmate
Post hand.
So you personally know the people who programmed the DRM and the people who manage the company?
They are in the business of making money. They need trust for that in the field they are in. Simple as. 6 months down the line when everyone has already had fun with the game and no one has their PC blown up. I will accept your apology.
You could say the same about Denuvo :^)
if you read the community reviews the game is already giving BSOD to some users
>They're trustworthy because they're a company
Never go full moron
Typical communist.
They can harvest your data without even you aware of it since they've got full access to your puter you are really dumb
Assuming this isn't decent trolling, you are simply and absolutely moronic.
Anyone having complete access to your computer, for any reason, is unacceptable. Yes, this includes Microsoft.
Might as well put your email address in the namefield while you're posting on Ganker since you do not care about your own privacy
manchildren on this site would create every conspiracy imaginable over vaccines yet happily install trojan horses on their goonmachine because its necessary to play their vibbeogame
I've seen this shit since ages ago. Was it still rootkit shit back then?
basics of opsec
always assume that the attackers have malicious intents.
reduce the surface of attack
everything can and will be used against you
don't care
Aren't regular anti-cheats just as able to get your data? As far as I understand it the main thing about kernel ones is they could frick up your PC hard if maliciously used.
t. coped myself into being fine with them (except Vanguard) to play with a chick
It really depends on the anti-cheat and how much you trust the devs. Valve for example only verifies that nothing in the game's memory is modified by another program, or that other programs can't access the game memory easily.
There's intrusive AC like the one you'll find on league sites like ESEA or Faceit for CS where those are willing to crawl your PC for cheat traces, or take random screenshots when your game is running to see if you're running wallhacks or something but I think it fell out of flavor these days.
In the end it's always a cat-n-mouse game, but it's a real fricking red flag when the game is a co-op only shooter.
Ask yourself what kind of stuff a regular program can do on your computer and you have your answer. The rest depends on how paranoid you are.
There's also a lot of parties interested in whether these programs do something nefarious (be it independent researchers or even cheat developers) so if it's actually the case then at some point someone will find it and document it.
Yeah I know.
It's got fricking windows on it.
Anti-Cheats with SOUL
why is an anti cheat even needed for a pve game. what is there to gain from cheating
They mentioned in a plebbit post that there's a leaderboard and they don't want cheaters in it or something as well as community progression systems
They have a premium currency system and microtransactions anon. They don't give a frick about it otherwise.
Yeah, you have windows installed on it.
