As a professional security protection technology, GameShield's ability to combat plug-ins and scripts is highly anticipated. In this article, we will analyze the working principle and defense mechanism of GameShield, discuss how it works against the various attack methods of plug-ins and scripts, and answer the question of the effectiveness of GameShield in protecting the gaming environment and ma
With the popularization of smartphones, mobile gaming is growing by leaps and bounds, with 2 billion + users worldwide immersed in the experience. However, as the gaming market becomes more active, so does game cheating, which not only deprives the game of a fair and equitable environment, but also directly leads to financial losses for game developers.
For example, the world-renowned game “Escape from Tarkov” is particularly obvious, the game through the targeting of bots and perspective attacks rampant plug-in cheating behavior for the developers led to the banning of more than 11,000 cheaters, and publicly named. This rampant cheating ecosystem leads to a loss of normal users and a significant loss of revenue for the game. Not only do game cheats and frauds lose users, but they also damage the reputation of the game and diminish the mental pleasure that games bring to people. To combat this growing problem, you need to prioritize strong anti-cheating measures to protect your gaming ecosystem. Ensuring a fair gaming environment has become critical.
There is no clear legal regulation on cheating in video games in the world, only cheat software developers will be dealt with as computer intrusion crime in mainland China, and in other countries it is usually dealt with as violation of Terms of Service or User License Agreements, which are civil issues rather than criminal offenses. Some game developers have filed infringement lawsuits against plug-in developers and distributors.
Many plug-ins require users to grant root access and install potentially dangerous malware or hacking tools, thereby jeopardizing the security of the game and the user's device.
In addition, in video games, cheating players use illegal means to obtain skills, characters, and money that do not belong to them, and then sell them through the gray market, seriously damaging the in-game economy, disrupting the game market, and disrupting the expected ecological balance.
| Memory Editor | Many games (both desktop and mobile) store important data such as player statistics, currency values, etc. in memory. By using memory editing tools, hackers can find and modify these values to give themselves an advantage not limited to points, money, equipment, characters, skills, and other violations. |
| code injection | By injecting malicious code into games, hackers can manipulate game logic, bypass in-app purchases and steal user data. This includes changing the way the game processes input (e.g., enabling targeting bots) and bypassing authentication for in-app purchases. Cheats can use DLL injections, hooks, and memory tinkering to make the game perform actions it was never intended to perform, thus gaining more control: Time manipulation: speed up or slow down parts of the game to never give yourself an advantage. Teleportation: Teleport yourself instantly to any location in the game. Acceleration: Move at the speed of light, whether it's a character or a prop. Seeing Through Walls: Seeing through walls or props, such as bullets, that would otherwise be impenetrable. |
| Robots and simulators | Botting is the use of scripts or third-party programs.This allows cheaters to access resources faster and more often than other legitimate players, or repeat certain actions, severely squeezing the environment for other compliant users and disrupting the gaming experience. Currently, bots and emulators are one of the most delayed forms of cheating for online game developers, with cheaters hiding on VPNs or cloud servers that require more effort and cost to defend against. |
| man-in-the-middle attack | Man-in-the-Middle Attack (MITM attack) is a common and highly threatening network attack.In this attack mode, the attacker secretly inserts into the two entities (such as clients and servers) that are communicating with each other, intercepting, tampering, or even forging messages between the two sides of the communication, while the two sides of the communication often have no knowledge of it, and still think that they are communicating directly with each other normally. |
Anti-tamper verification: Integrity verification monitors the game code and memory for any unauthorized changes. If the system detects tampering, it can respond by banning the offending user.
Asset Protection: Asset protection protects game resources, including unpublished content. Without proper encryption, crooks can gain an unfair advantage by accessing pre-loaded assets, such as new skins or features, before they are officially released.
Anti-debugging: Cheaters use debuggers to modify game code and memory at runtime to gain an unfair advantage. The anti-debugging feature prevents them from connecting a debugger to the game, making it harder for them to reverse engineer tampering.
Hook Detection: Some cheaters may try to tap into your game's code or API to inject malicious code. Hook detection identifies and blocks these attempts, preventing cheaters from modifying your game's behavior and accessing confidential information.
Jailbreak/Root Detection: Jailbroken or rooted devices can bypass built-in security measures, bypassing sandboxing and other security features of the device and operating system. This makes them more vulnerable to hacking and cheating. Detecting these attacks can make the game safer, for example by restricting access after identification.
Emulator detection: cheaters often use emulators to manipulate games. Emulator detection prevents the game from running on these virtual devices, thus ensuring that all players can run the game as intended on real hardware.
API Protection: Many bots and cheating tools interact directly with game APIs to manipulate gameplay. Implementing strong API protections such as rate limiting, authentication, and encryption is critical to preventing unauthorized access and abuse!
Of course, relying solely on the above strategy is not completely effective in preventing game fraud and cheating, you should integrate CDN5 Game Shield, and now let's see how CDN5 Game Shield prevents game fraud and cheating!
| Real-time monitoring | CDN5 GameShield detects and flags abnormal behavior in games in real time. By building complex behavioral patterns and algorithms, GameShield is fully capable of identifying cheaters and normal users. |
|---|---|
| plug-in detection | GameShield integrates an advanced anti-plagiarism system, which will monitor the operation status of the game client in real time, detecting whether there is any illegal data modification during the operation of the program, and if a plug-in program is detected, protective measures will be taken immediately, such as banning the player from accessing it or instantly forcing the player's account to go offline. |
| script detection | Some gamers often use scripts to achieve automatic hang-ups, brushing and other operations, while CDN5 Game Shield can detect the player's operating mode and behavioral characteristics, AI intelligent judgment of whether there is a script to run the behavior, once the recognition of the characteristics of the script, the Game Shield will be processed on its own, and can not be discerned behavior will be notified to the administrator to verify again. |
| data encryption | CDN5 GameShield full-link encryption ensures that data is not stolen or tampered with, preventing the difficulty of cheating players cheating by modifying data, including communication middleman cheating. |
| security protocol | GameShield uses complete communication protocols to guarantee the integrity and authenticity of the transmitted data, such as digital signature technology, identity verification systems, etc., to guarantee that the data transmission is not tampered with and to ensure that the identity information is authentic and not leaked. |
| IP address monitoring | GameShield will detect player IPs. For example, multiple accounts logging in with the same IP and performing unusual operations will be considered risky operations, and the system will automatically flag and track them to determine whether they are theft or cheating sharing and other behaviors that may jeopardize game security. |
| CDN5 Intelligent Defense System | Exclusively trained AI artificial intelligence, through the big data and features of continuous self-learning to improve, to identify possible fraud and cheating behavior, can promptly adjust the defense strategy, the use of appropriate defensive measures. If for can't identify or new cheating means suspicious behavior, will instantly send warning information to the game administrator. |
