PAUC Anticheat

Windows Ring 0 KDMF game anti-cheat in C/C++

Jun 2021 → Aug 2021

This simple anti-cheat was able to detect code injection, module injection, memory reads and writes, process handle opening, unsigned driver loading, known kernel driver vulnerabilities like the Intel iqvw64e.sys driver, and forbidden software. All the logic was implemented in a Windows kernel driver. It was effective against simple cheats but ineffective against truly determined hackers. This anti-cheat was never put into production, but it was a great way to learn about game security.
