Helldivers 2 got review-bombed by players complaining about their anti-cheat, so I reached out to anti-cheat leaders from Riot Games, Roblox, and Fortnite to get their take. Are players over-reacting to kernel-level anti-cheat drivers? Full story:

I do not believe we are successful just because it operates at the kernel level. Any company can develop a kernel driver. EAC, Battleye, and Ricochet all have kernel drivers. The reason Vanguard has been successful is that our engineers are pushing the envelope in this space by

valorants kernal anti cheat has been one of the biggest success stories in gaming when it comes to combating cheaters, yet this goes under the radar, why is that?

A big shoutout goes to @nickeverdox for creating something to combat DMA cheats. This is an incredibly difficult and challenging task, and an industry first. Without this, there would be no way to prevent or detect these DMA cheats in general thanks to him he has pushed the space

@CoreNoort @securityfreax People in re/infosec circles rediscover concepts cheat developers (kids) have relied upon for years fairly often. You can find cases of this happening by googling usage of win api calls on cheat dev forums and compare against re/infosec blogs.

Intel has just announced that its top Arc A770 GPU is going on sale on October 12th for $329. That's the same price as an RTX 3060, and Intel's A770 is expected to comfortably outperform the RTX 3060. Full details here: https://t.co/u94OfgfSfh

This is just a leap towards static ROT. It's annoying for them to have to find a way to "trust" the various signed shims floating around let alone the moklist contents they may measure in and so they just kick it to the curb all together. This is obviously less important on

Some more detailed thoughts on somenew systems shipping without allowing Linux to be booted by default, and how if Microsoft wants to be in charge of deciding what systems can boot, they need to actually talk to the rest of the community:

There's a huge difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. We talk in fact-deficient, obfuscating generalities to cover up our lack of understanding.

I seldom touch my xbox but sat down this afternoon to play some Dying Light. It's peculiar to me that I cannot play any single player game that I own while there is a service outage, nor in "offline mode", nor while xbox is set as "home xbox".
