Not trying to clickbait but is this the end for kernel-level anti-cheat? - eviltoast

From the article

Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

    Does there need to be a solution?
    Do E-Sports competitions on identical certified hardware and otherwise ban people caught cheating.
    Root kits aren’t necessary for having fun in a game.

      lol, anti-cheat isn’t just about esports, or high level play. It’s not even just about cheating.

      It’s broadly about harassment and griefing and just shitty behavior mediated by hacking in online games.
