핵 유저의 컴퓨터를 영구적으로 망가트린게 아님 컴터 사용을 정지시킨것도 아님
롤 보안프로그램이 커널모듈 일부를 덮어써서 핵에 자주 쓰이는 DMA 하드웨어가 동작하지 않도록 막아버린것이고, OS 재설치하면 없어진다
문제가되는건 왜 정상적인 사용자의 OS도 조용히 고쳐버리냐는게 문제임
Please explain the target demographic for this product. How does someone burn $6000 on cheat hardware and still have the self-esteem required to assemble it?
Riot Games has released a new update for Valorant’s Vanguard anti-cheat system aimed at stopping advanced DMA (Direct Memory Access) cheating hardware.
Vanguard anticheat now damages the firmware of these devices upon detection. It can be repaired, but bricking a person's hardware without their consent or knowledge is highly illegal
The update targets certain SATA and NVMe firmware setups commonly used in expensive DMA cheating devices.
These cheats rely on external hardware to read game memory while bypassing traditional anti-cheat detection methods.
Some users claim Vanguard now triggers IOMMU-related warnings that can temporarily block affected hardware until system settings or firmware are updated.
These DMA cheats have become popular in competitive games because they bypass many kernel-level anti-cheat systems.
Riot has worked with motherboard manufacturers including ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock to address firmware vulnerabilities related to DMA access.
