to sum it up, imagine having an antivirus program run in the userspace, it just doesn't work.

there are a lot of Problems with GPL

Skulls response shows exactly why PS or any other Tech3 amongst some other engines related AC can't be open source, doing so would make it GPL compliant but would let novice / mid range few bypass it.

I have never seen PS source Only know a few things explained from the creator, He is active and if anything gets passed he can block it to some extend, simple externally through .dll update. ( this has already been done a few times on reported cheats )

PS is not 100% , nothing is. A good hacker can bypass anything to some extent, but if spotted PS would show how the bypass is happening and would only require another .dll update. Again Duch is active and willing to keep it secured.

helo skull, i'd be interested in reading ur statement/opinion/review about this PS anticheat, some thoughts about it etc, leaving apart the legal aspect of it and talkin about the practical appliance efficiency related to its use on q3. ever tested it? does it rly works? can some cheats still go thru? can pure still be bypassed? im very curious about ur "speech" about this since in ur post its totally missing this PS part, thank u. (goddamn i sound like those call center "operators" with balas in the face n huge forehead lol).

D , no PS can't block unpure glitch's, But if you find some so called cheats that might seem pk3 related let me know because ones we found believed to be are blocked by ps.
Being said PS, can block any change to a pk3 we just need to advice the creator what is needed.

Duch works for an antivirus company and improves PS when ever he has spare time , he is not from e+ he is from noghost/osp.

The big Question is, would PS hurt E+
IMO no aslong as its not showcased as an E+ feature it wouldn't, is simply a personal use indirect security tool. A cheat to catch cheaters, Active and willing to improve.

I think all Freon players and Possibly AW freeze players can share the change it brings, we all feel at ease knowing that were playing amongst good friends.

Does it solve E+ cheat problem ? I think it does 99% 1% for the few skilled who can keep up with .dll updates.

Why am I so fine with it? At first I was completely against it finding out its security issues. If you read the forums you know this, why I changed my mind? I paid a few knowledge hackers who do this kind of work for a living and all gave me the green light and shared some tips that further showed me its potential for any tech3 mod/core game willing to Use it.

Duch made a Pureskill Discord channel for anyone with questions, suggestions / ideas to improve PS. If there is no one else willing to provide a proven solution to Cheats for q3, I think instead of questioning we should focus on research and ones who feel can provide more info to strengthen PS do so.

Being against GPL , or being a unsecured .exe because its made by an unknown person it's no excuse to avoid a working solution especially by an ex/accused cheat player.

This is in favor to everyone, Ex cheaters included, imagine a game that is cheat proof.
PS is a start and all that we have that is working right now.

all statements are correct so far and its not about the technical stuff, but its the decision.

you either decide on running a 'insecure' Userspace-Programm hoping to have no cheaters.

or you decide on running a 'outdated' trusted 'above' Userspace-Programm hoping to have no cheaters.

About the fact that it runs on userspace - I would have done a proof of concept except for the problem I got no coder at hand. As soon as we have a coder as Player we basically can skip the userspace concept. Duch knows this best himself.
