Built by Erick, Nick, Dyllan — kernel security engineers who want to play Battlefield on our Steam Decks.

GPL-2.0. Commercial licensing available for publishers.

PRs welcome. Tear it apart.

The open-source agent alone cannot enable cheating.

Production requires the game publisher's cryptographic attestation certificate. This is infrastructure, not a bypass.

We're asking EA to collaborate, not looking to circumvent.

[SolarSystemsDsp @solarsystemsdsp]

What it detects:

- W→X memory transitions (self-modifying code)
- ptrace attachments (debuggers)
- Kernel module loads (rootkits)
- /proc/kallsyms access (exploit prep)
- Foreign eBPF loads

All via LSM hooks. Read-only reporters. Cannot block syscalls.

@solarsystemsdsp So excited to have contributed to this project, really hoping that we can see the future of gaming on linux faster than initially anticipated!

[SolarSystemsDsp @solarsystemsdsp]

Just open-sourced an eBPF anti-cheat kernel agent for Linux.

- Zero crash risk (verifier-safe)
- 5,531 MB/s memory scan throughput
- <1 µs eBPF overhead
- No kernel modules

Built for Battlefield on Steam Deck. Submitting to EA/Valve.

@StormyS18166 @Acer I cross referenced these photos with ai.
There's a visible oily/wet-looking residue on the black label of the SSD, particularly noticeable as darker patches. This is characteristic appearance of excess no-clean flux residue that hasn't fully dried or has become sticky over time.

@StormyS18166 @Acer As a repair technician of over 15 years I can tell this looks like some classic solder flux over usage. I worked for a LED manufacturer and was apart of the QC management, this is exactly what I would see when techs did not clean the PCB surfaces after mounting new components…
