Interesting Reading for all

I have already read it ;D

Curious though, what type of hack did he use and how widely available is it??

;D I don't test it, but if it's true I can say only one: GOOD WORK

Hmmm, NO. If I understand they developed Client-Server anticheat system like VeXSecure. And this is really good work.

I think the best way of preventing cheating is developping the following:

-ubisoft releases a client server patch that does the following:

- Locks all system critical files (mostly fcdata folder files) that are needed to run the game, and pereodically run a checksum crc check on them so that they have not been altered in any way.

- The files that do need temporary read/write access or sections in memory which need altering ( any cvar's) should be run through an encryption algorythm in which a changing key (16 bit long is enough) is sent from the server (server admin can chose any key) to each client, and the encryption algorythm would take this key and process it and decrypt/change the necessary cvars in memory and then finally return an encrypted acknowledge message to the server.

Seems a bit overkill but also makes for a very tight security system against hackers. It also wouldnt use much more bandwith than usual. The only setback would be that it would use maybe an extra 1% of your cpu processing power to decrypt/encrypt the vars/keys/ack messages.

Just an idea i felt like writting out

Yeah i seen kenny use that one and a few others before.

Its very simple hack but now it can be detected by pb, im pretty sure.

Yeah, that wouldnt be to hard to implement either, if they already havnt done it yet. To synchronize both clocks from clients to server. If clock is off by maybe over 10 seconds, then kick the user.
