@RivalsInfo As long as I can keep playing on linux, all good I guess

Hello Everyone, In a previous life, I used to do offensive and defensive anti-cheat research professionally, and one thing I’d like to say is that this game is doing the absolute bare minimum to secure and protect itself against cheaters. To give the team some credit, combating cheating is extremely difficult because cheat developers are constantly adapting (especially with AI) and testing new methods faster than most of these developers can realistically respond to. I’m going to outline what the anti-cheat team does right and what they do wrong, and then let you come to your own conclusions about the overall state of the game’s anti-cheat efforts. Vocabulary: - DLL: This term will be used heavily, and it refers to a piece of software that is injected into a process (for ex. Marvel Rivals) and is capable of executing arbitrary code within the game process. This allows cheaters to modify or manipulate different parts of the game in order to gain an unfair advantage (f.ex reading from or writing to the game state). - DLL Sideloading // hijacking: Replacing a legitimate DLL that the game uses with a malicious DLL that allows an actor to execute arbitrary code within the game process while masquerading as the legitimate DLL. - XIM: A cheating device primarily used on consoles to for example mask a keyboard and mouse as a controller allowing malicious actors to essentially have aim-assist, and run a ton of other scripts that give malicious actors to gain a competitive edge over players - Function Hooking: This allows a malicious user to redirect how the code normally works, giving them control over how the program behaves and letting them change the result of certain functions. What they do right: - Sending telemetry from the game process to the anti-cheat backend server, even without the kernel anti-cheat running, to determine whether a game session appears legitimate or illegitimate (cheating). What they do wrong: - The Kernel Anti-Cheat component is pretty useless. It’s really only meant to serve a few purposes (it does a bit more, but these are the main components you should actually care about), and the entire system becomes redundant when you can simply disable the kernel component. The first purpose is acting as a preventative measure against DLL injection, which it does a poor job at because you can use DLL Sideloading and the game will blindly accept illegitimate DLLs and inject them into the game process. Another purpose is sending telemetry to the anti-cheat backend, which collects data about the process and scans for cheat signatures, abnormal process conditions, and unauthorized modifications. The Kernel Anti-Cheat probably does more than that, but it becomes pretty useless when you can just disable the kernel anti-cheat component entirely. - There have been claims that if you run a certain command line argument it completely disables the anti-cheat, but this is only partially false. It disables the kernel anti-cheat component, but it does not disable the anti-cheat that lives inside the game process, “QSec.” QSec is another anti-cheat component inside the game process, and it does a bit of the heavy lifting by sending increased telemetry about your aim score, XIM score, and other unusual process events. This can also be disabled by patching the game executable on disk, preventing the system from even being initialized. (I’ve sent this directly to the developers a while ago, and they’ve done nothing with it.) One thing I will give them credit for is that they’ve at least attempted to protect this code, but they’ve done a terrible job executing it. There’s also another component they use called “AC (Anti-Cheat) SDK.” This component exists in an extremely niche location within the game process, but I won’t explain it further because it could lead to additional attack vectors, although the team already knows where it lives. From what I understand, this component also sends additional telemetry and periodically sends screenshots of your game to the anti-cheat backend (at least for high-risk players) in an attempt to detect cheats like ESP, which gives exact player locations through walls. This component can also be disabled. - The anti-cheat team also has an additional QSEC (anti-cheat) component that is completely server-side. This anti-cheat automatically scans replay files and match data to determine whether a player is cheating based on heuristics. This approach is extremely flawed because a cheater can disable the components I explained above and “humanize” their cheats to avoid detection. It can also lead to false bans if the system’s assumptions are incorrect, which appears to happen periodically. - The Anti-Cheat team actually does nothing to validate whether the kernel component is running or not, this is one thing some anti-cheats like "Easy Anti Cheat" does right, the game server will kick you out if it doesn't receive a valid token from the client generated by the anti-cheat. Sure some telemetry may give the team some insight saying "Hey so this user isn't running our anti-cheat, they're probs sus asf", but when those telemetry components are disabled and your only component is the server sided anti-cheat it makes the entire system super redundant. - The Marvel Rivals team claims that a user who gets banned will get device bans, and IP bans. From my understanding they don't IP ban, but they do attempt to device ban (HWID Ban) and they do a terrible job at it, since you can disable the kernel component of the anti-cheat the game process is left with only one way.. do call windows functionality to generate a Hardware Identifier based on the limited functionality that Microsoft gives them. This is completely redundant when you can disable all of the components I've mentioned earlier and the use Function Hooking to essentially "spoof" your hardware identifier, and once you get banned, you can clean all of the traces the game process leaves and create a brand new account as if nothing happened. There's a few more components that I haven't talked about or may not completely know about, but I hope this gives you a slight idea on how the team actually handles cheating. I've actually sent most of what is currently in this post directly to the team months ago, and they haven't done anything with it. You know where to contact me NetEase. Chào👋

@xBricci Lendo os comentarios aqui, se a rito gomes tomasse corpo e entrasse numa piscina, uma galera ia se afogar 🤣

📖Mega Thread: Return of the Ancients Estamos a uma semana do Patch 0.5 de @pathofexile 2 - Return of the Ancients e caso você ainda não esteja atualizado sobre o que vai rolar na atualização, segue o fio ⬇️ RT's são bem vindos <3

@luan_luttrix Meu medo de Infernal Legion tomar aquele amasso no patch note é grande 🤣

Patch notes nem saiu ainda sabe… tem tanta coisa pra se falar da liga, lançar vídeo de “Builds de League Start” é muito amadorismo pra alguém do tamanho do Rakin E em tempos de IA ao menos a thumb foi feita de forma correta, pq até a logo “errada” eles usaram 🤷🏾

@Dyyvd_ @luan_luttrix a capacidade da ggg destruir ou apagar certas builds de um patch pra outro é algo que todo mundo q conhece eles ta acostumado, por isso que quase todo mundo espera pra ver isso ai.

@luan_luttrix Uiui galera espera o patch notes sair pq tem q ver se tal build vai continuar no meta kkk pqp cara o video é pro publico geral acho que até analfabeto entende isso

In Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients, we’re introducing a new Build Guide system directly in-game!

@0b35u5 @OGabrielSa a ilusão foi contratar esse perebas prometendo titulo

@OGabrielSa Torcedor gosta de ilusão. Agora o clube passará por uma revolução administrativa com a demissão dele e possivelmente Rui Costa/Rafinha. O Conselho vai mudar o patamar do clube. Rumo a Champions League.

🚨 #PodeCravar 🤝 : Roger Machado NÃO É MAIS técnico do São Paulo. Foi demitido após a eliminação para o Juventude na Copa do Brasil.

@reidosherois_ Modelo de qualidade duvidosa ou só o famoso "skill issue"

eu queria saber como esses caras do Lord of Mysteries fazem pra fazerem músicas tão ruins assim na IA não é possível que o prompt seja tão básico, eu consigo notar o quão seco é o bagulho na hora

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the reveal of Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients! Here's a quick recap, hope to see you May 29 PDT!

@IntelDeadlock What I heard while watching

AoE Swap is just the best Via/Raydil

ElevenMusic is Egirlcore certified by me (who? 🤣) Anyways here it is my remix (after all sorts of struggles to make it right) elevenmusic.io/tracks/69fa287…

@Cleiton44833941 @bieltri1930 @liberta___depre "se tiver que cair vai cair" Nobre, Paulo. E a porcada sofreu naquela epoca. Ninguém tem culhão de mandar uma dessas no São Paulo infelizmente.

@bieltri1930 @liberta___depre Palmeiras não aconteceu bosta nenhuma. Palmeiras foi a tia Leila bilionária que assumiu o Clube. O Flamengo sim se reestruturou.

São Paulo divulga balanço de 2025 com redução da dívida e superávit de R$ 56 milhões O Tricolor fechou 2025 com a dívida em R$ 858 milhões, R$ 110 milhões a menos do que os R$ 968 milhões de 2024, quando o déficit havia sido de R$ 287 milhões. O balanço financeiro também mostra que o SPFC investiu R$ 55,9 milhões no departamento de futebol em 2025. As contratações do clube no exercício foram, em sua maioria, de atletas sem contrato com outros clubes ou por empréstimo. Também para se enquadrar em novas diretrizes financeiras, o Tricolor vendeu mais em 2025. Foram R$ 283 milhões arrecadados com negociações de direitos econômicos, valor bem maior do que os R$ 93 milhões de 2024. Via: @geglobo 📷Divulgação

@savipww People believe in Reddit stories?? 🤭🤭🤭

PRAGMATA helped dad survive the loss of his daughter > 55yo dad tragically lost his 8yo daughter McKenzie in 2009 > he stopped gaming for 30y until his 2nd daughter Ella introduced him to Fortnite to help him cope > they recently discovered Capcom's new game Pragmata featuring a little android girl named Diana > Ella noticed the character looks and acts exactly like old pictures of her late sister > he bought the game and says playing it with his youngest daughter is literally "therapeutic for my soul" > Reddit post went insanely viral and the Pragmata director personally thanked him on X people complain about graphics and framerates all day on the internet this guy just used a video game to spend a little more time with the daughter he lost this is why we play full reddit thread in replies

@mcobretti09 @tobemnaocenora @somosaopaulinos Que só serviu de combustivel pro casares e anestesiar a "torcida"... Topo facil uns anos amargando sem nada, pra ver uma crise ferrada e toda essa corja sair na marra.

@tobemnaocenora @somosaopaulinos 2023 ganhamos titulo. Abraço

Rui Costa defende Roger Machado e responde Crespo sobre fala de 45 pontos: "São só 40 e poucos dias. Parece que são quatro meses, mas o trabalho do Roger é um trabalho que vem evoluindo muito. Para mim são duas questões muito claras (a rejeição a Roger): a frustração e a indignação do torcedor em relação à demissão do Crespo. O São Paulo é o São Paulo. A sua grandeza não permite essa manifestação (45 pontos) de que nada conquistaremos." 🗞 Band 📸 Reprodução

A bit of fun on @suno remixing that track from Bloomer suno.com/s/3HpL2O8RUVBl…

@VictorF53663892 @O_SPFC_Soberano Topo facil uns 5 anos sem o time se quer ter chance real de disputa alguma pra ver uma crise absurda e as coisas serem forçadas a mudarem, pq ficar nesse pão e circo de copa aqui e ali é tudo que eles querem, o casares só fez o q fez por causa da cdb validando a gestão.

@O_SPFC_Soberano Serio, queria entender.: o que vc pensa que seria a temporada? Serio mesmo, sonhou com o hepta? Sonha com o bi da cdb? Titulo de sula? Kkkkkk. Pelo amor de deus.

O time era líder e está caindo na tabela do BR, risco de ELIMINAÇÃO nas Copas, manter o técnico pode por a TEMPORADA no lixo. E a organizada em silêncio. Só a hora que "ficar mais escancarado" aí fazem teatro e vão fingir cobrar igual com Casares. Mas aí, de novo, será tarde d+
