[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz [S] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) That would be a massive win in my book, kernel level anticheat is malware. make it so that they can't block wine without blocking windows and kernel level anticheat is gone permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gnuhaut@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago You cannot realistically make it impossible to detect that you're running on wine. Wine just implements the Windows ABIs. The actual code running is totally different. Even just reading any of the binary code of literally any function would reveal it's different from the Windows code. How are you going to stop it from doing memory reads on stuff that it needs to be able to read? You can't. You'd need a full hardware emulator for that. permalink fedilink source parent
