CNN Article on cheating

Interesting stuff you posted. And everything said there is true. Sad, extremely sad...but true.

I think the main thing with Arma is that game is kinda open-source aka. very modable through scripts etc. I'm no real professional about scripting etc. but i can surely imagine it can open up alot of opportunities for hackers.

Yeah, the game was pretty much built to help them do their dirty little deeds. Oh woe is me. laugh.

Now, i want some ingame currency for arma to sell on ebay.

Like you've kind of pointed out, its more serious since its not just a game and a bit of fun thats being ruined - it's real money.

Ashame we can't do whats called Citizen Arrest in the UK and arrest someone over the internet.

Back on to topic with the article though..

Quote[/b] ]Intel's technology would embed a module in a PC's circuitry that would analyze data coming off the keyboard and the mouse and compare it to what a game actually processes. If there are conflicts -- the player clicked the mouse just once but the game read that as "fire 100 shots" -- the Intel system would be able to signal the game makers or other players. The system could also put a "trusted" stamp on seemingly legitimate players.

I like that idea very much. But what cheater will upgrade their hardware with this enabled?

Even then it will be bypassed. No use, people cheat on consoles by modifying the packets. So no go there, anything that is done has to be done server side. Client side your sol.

It wouldn't be a question if all companies embedded the chip in their motherboards. Companies need to realise this would make them more money. Even nVidia chipsets would benefit - companies like ASUS produce amazing motherboards, both for Intel and nVidia chipsets.

Companies need to see this is a longer-term benefit. The more secure games are, the more people buy and play them, and buy expansions. I bet there are people who haven't bought Queen's gambit, for example, because of the cheating in ArmA.

If it's at hardware level, there's no way morons like KFC could possibly do anything.

They can work around it. Be amazed how many cheats are packet based. Don't forget that the chip is not sending the packets. The app is, so there are other methods to attack this idea.
