Abstract

With the increasing popularity of games having a competitive element, cheats have become a common method for hackers to gain an advantage. Game developers like Fortnite, Valorant, and Apex Legends constantly face the pressure to prevent hackers from cheating. In this talk, we share the current state of Cheats and Anti Cheat mechanisms, dive deep into the history of anti-cheats, how they actually work, and several techniques hackers are using to bypass them. The session includes the release of a basic kernel-mode driver and an External Hardware cheat that can be used as a learning resource for bypassing different anti-cheats in the market.
