It's not about security, least of all anti-cheat. The trend toward black-box is about a combination of corporate IP protection, vendor lock-in (see also the Apple T2 SoCs) and almost certainly APT actors (disclaimer: speculation).

Hiding code has historically never succeeded in preventing anything. > PC's are going that way, the way GPU's are containing more "black box" mechanisms themselves. > the only way to hide the code to prevent cheating is to physically embalm it into the CPU, in a way that, if physically accessed, will break the machine, rendering the effort fruitless.

The general non-gaming software space has gone through similar evolution, whereby we used to rely heavily on signature matching on malware, and have evolved toward a more integrated "zero trust" approach to mitigating threats - signature-matching still exists for things like software-composition analysis, but in general is not a primary mitigation strategy for runtime security. I think this is primarily just an issue with software maturity and likely to solve itself over time.

Popular AC solutions tend to employ non-engine-specific solutions that match known cheat signatures - bypasses inject cheat dlls and hope they don't get caught "too often", rather than using in-engine verification of non-cheat behaviours.

On the other hand, AC bypasses on PC happen not because of a lack of console-esque hardware mitigations, but simply because software AC is not particularly advanced (yet). It's less of a concern, not because Linux is more secure, but just because desktop applications there aren't a large target market for malware, and because of large cultural differences in usage. There's still plenty of AC bypass on consoles, just significantly less.Ī similar example outside of gaming is Linux as an OS platform: antivirus software isn't a big thing, despite Linux being continuously behind bigger desktop OSes with their security mitigations - (e.g. will tend to gravitate toward PC as a platform, since it's a multi-use platform. There's also a cultural difference, where gamers with an interest in mods, etc. The relative scarcity of gamers running homebrew-ed consoles makes developing bypasses of limited appeal. It's far from bullet proof, but so are so called "black boxes" despite their cost to the user.Ĭonsoles have less anti-cheat bypasses for a number of reasons, mostly related to obscurity, not security. those communities just deal with it the old fashioned way, new players get treated with more scrutiny, admins get good at recognising cheaters (most cheaters are not good at hiding it, and experienced players who would better conceal wall-hacking behaviour etc are less likely to want to play with hacks way anyway).

There are various online FOSS games that are completely open and hackable, where it's very easy to download the source and literally set a condition in the make file to enable "wallhacks" (because that is in-fact a useful debugging feature - talking about ioq3 specifically). Point is, a black box is actually not a complete solution - as long as you can play the game, there will always be a way to cheat. what then? do we enter some kind of minority report era of gaming where you have to get your eyeballs replaced with "unhackable" ones - hope they don't burn out your retinas in an update. Ignoring the fact that reverse engineering is just a matter or time and pressure, eventually people will start hooking up image recognition auto-aimers to the input/output of these devices.
and that is impossible without an inaccessible black box, the Xbox > but I also like to know that the others in the game are not cheating. To see Microsoft made to pay the cleanup costs. Impossible to sell such products in Europe.
