Ah yes, iron glove. Takes me back, thanks for jogging the memory!

side note:

Dexter, you must have more profile views than anyone on this board.

no doubt. the slow load really takes the cake.

im curious about this anti-cheat. is ring0 really desired? surely usermode could get by, just look at warden :P Just wondering, I have a longtime interest in anti-cheat but no time or desire for this

90% of cheats are coded in ring0.. best way to detect them is to have exp. with ring0 :)

If you truly have an interest, we should sync up.

I wish I could help you, but my last programming experience was with Commodore machine code, and it didn't go well. Anyway, I wish you luck.

Nope, I do :D

I'd offer help with UI/UX, but I'm already swamped with a HUGE project at work.

Yeah.... uh huh........

seriously? I must have only dealt with amateur stuff. this was also in like 2006

Yea, cheats are incredibly hard to detect these days. Burried deep within the user's computer. Screenshots were one way to catch them - but most now a days detect a snapshot and disable themselves. It's an up-hill battle.

So yea.... who's up for a challenge? =)
