Here’s a comprehensive in depth analysis and overview by:Asterisk detailing how to implement anti-cheat measures for an Unreal Engine (UE) game using C++. This guide will walk you through techniques like pointer obfuscation, anti-debugging checks, code integrity validation, and leveraging ASLR to make it difficult for tools like Cheat Engine to tamper with your game.
Cheat Engine (CE) and similar memory editing tools allow users to locate, modify, and manipulate data in a running process (like a game). These tools work by scanning the memory of a game’s process, finding specific values (like health, ammo, or money), and then allowing users to change those values in real-time. Here's a deep dive into how these tools operate and what makes them so effective.
