He probado Virtua Fighter 5; estaba gratis este pasado fin de semana.

No me interesa el juego. Este tipo, en concreto, y encima con rollito competitivo. Pero de pinta: tiene muy buena.

Viene con #EasyAntiCheat. Lanzo el juego y peta. Sin explicación explicita. Miro en #ProtonDB

Al parecer solo tienen activado el anti-trucos para la #SteamDeck. En el escritorio en GNU con Linux tenemos que añadir el, ya muy conocido, "SteamDeck=1" para que el juego piense que estamos en una Deck. Tiene huevos.

However, with hardware based DMA cheats on the rise, Linux "advantage" in the eyes of cheaters could soon be diminished.

All these issues could be solved, but it would require substantial development efforts from the EAC team to bring their Linux support up to par with the Windows version. Even if they did that, it would lead to a much more invasive anti cheat software which would most likely not be received well with Linux users.

For now, it seems that simply blocking Linux is the cheaper solution.

Further, Easy Anti Cheat was of no concern to Linux cheaters. Since EAC doesn't run as root, it's easy to hide a cheat process using existing features of the Linux kernel. On top of that, hardware IDs are trivial to spoof on Linux using udev rules. Spoofing is also possible on Windows, but is much more difficult and breaks certain OS features.

So, I went to a forum for cheats, and it's not looking good for Linux gaming. Apex Legends really did have a Linux cheater problem.

The vast majority of cheats offered were for Linux. In fact, I had trouble finding a Windows cheat. On top of that, the cheats for Apex Legends were more featureful than those for similar games only available on Windows.

En conclusión, sí. Cosas como #Whatsapp, #Avast, e #EasyAntiCheat son menos seguras que muchas de sus alternativas, pero también hay que cuidar otros factores.

No podemos quejarnos de nuestro sistema de seguridad cuando somos nosotros quienes dejamos la puerta abierta.

La mejor seguridad y privacidad provienen de educarse sobre el tema y mantener una disciplina al respecto. Y aun así siempre habrán riesgos que se deben saber reconocer y mitigar.

Easy Anti-Cheat (or maybe Apex, It's not clear) seems to be having some serious exploitable issues. It's highly recommended to uninstall any games from your PC that use Easy Anti-Cheat.

So. First we have two (three?) things we need to fight.

1. #EasyAntiCheat
2. #EpicOnlineServices, as at first sight it seems it uses it for matchmaking porpuses?
¿3?. Savegame server? Savegame is cloud stored AFAIK, so maybe they're using a custom solution in this one

# 1. EAC
Easy Anti Cheat games usually have a bootstrap exe which sets EAC and launchs the payload exe which contains the game. In VHS case it seems launching the payload exe directly works. Since it doesn't seem to actually check if EAC is properly set? (weird)

2. EOS
Fortunately, someone has made an emulator for EOS so we're covered in that point. Launching with the emulator right now gives either a generic connection error or a "Cloudrun error" whethever that means, I'll leave that hanging for now.

3.
Right now I'm try going to try and do something about Nº3 and MITM myself to check what is the game doing with the savegame. The only thing I know right now is that it's talking with an AWS server

Bitte was? #EasyAntiCheat moechte, dass ich bei Problemen einen #Kaltstart durchfuehre!? Spinnen die?

Oder haben die einfach keine Ahnung mehr, was ein Kaltstart eigentlich ist? Dann empfehle ich https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reset#Kaltstart als Lektuere. (Und ja, mir ist bewusst, dass es da Bedeutungsunterschiede en/de gibt.)
