UA Acquires Cheating-Death

CALIFORNIA, Thursday, December 26, 2002 - Today, United Admins ("UA") has acquired the client and server popular anti-cheat solution known as Cheating-Death. CDeath himself, wishing to pass on the development of his program, approached UA, which gladly accepted.

"This couldn't have come at a better time for UA." said Nick "HoundDawg" Slevkoff, UA Chairman. " Since HLGuard has already pushed the limits as a server-side only anti-cheat, we were planning on extending HLGuard to the client-side. Now, with Cheating-Death, this can now be achieved a lot quicker with the reduction of duplicated development efforts just to reach where Cheating-Death is today."

UA's HLGuard Project Team will assume control over the Cheating-Death project as well. They will have access to the source soon and begin designing the future of these solutions into a solid anti-cheat solution for game server Admins. UA will continue to provide HLGuard as a server-side only anti-cheat solution.

Nick continues, "It's amazing to see how two, once competing projects (Cheating-Death and CSGuard) can eventually come together and provide a more complete anti-cheat solution."

UA plans on working with MOD developers to integrate the new anti-cheat solution with their MOD which will help maximize it's distribution and effectiveness.

怀念cd1.2.3的那段平静的日子。。。。很高兴看到hlguard和cd的合作。。

　　那段日子作弊的人可以忽略为零，确实那个东东是我自打认识反恐开始最优秀的反作弊程序。
　　狂热期待中......

cheating-death究竟是个什么样的东东啊?我没用过,反作弊真的很有效??如果和hlguard一起用有很好的效果吗?比VAC还强????

呵呵，这个不好比较。CD一统天下的时候，还没有VAC呢
在1.3的时候CD是一个反作弊的利器，几乎所有的作弊器都没用（反正不知道那个能用）。CD的原理好像和hlguard不一样，他不是用来检测有没有使用作弊器，而是让你的作弊器不能发挥原有的功能。不过很早以前CD就没有更新过了，sigh~
现在的VAC加上hlguard还是能有不少作弊器绕过他们。
呵呵
期待CD再次重现江湖亚

可惜要分客户端和服务端~~对于其它CAI NIAO玩家可能就。。。

不过能反作弊才是最重要的

并不是C－D本身有太强的功能，而是C－D采用了服务器，客户端都要安装的方式。在HLG或者VAC内部，其实也有很多的声音，要求仿效C－D的原理，因为这样，显而易见是最有效的。但是，美国的法律认为这样是违背了个人隐私的原则，极有可能遭到若干玩家的投诉，因为没有人可以保证客户端发送给服务器端的信息只是关于CS信息，而没有你信用卡的卡号和密码，：－）
所以，除非HLG采用这样的方式，否则单纯的服务器端反作弊，我猜想永远不可能一劳永逸的解决CS作弊现象。

　　但是我还是有个疑问，CS本身就是一个C/S的程序，而且肯定会有很多相关信息发到了中央服务器上，为什么没有人跟它玩儿命呢？
　　受欢迎？好玩？顾及不到很多？我猜最主要的原因可能是大家都比较信任和乐于接受CS，但不太相信或喜欢第三方推出的纯为某某功能而设计的插件。
　　那么，有一个设想，假设要是VALVE接受了C－D的设计思想，而将服务器端捆绑在VAC上，客户端捆绑在CS里，而且提供一定的防作弊更新方法（比如象现在建VAC那样的DOWNLOAD相关的DLL或是其它的组件），公众应该还是可以接受的吧？
　　当然了，如果纯由第三方推出，以美国的社会和法制原因，可能会比较多的遭到别人的非议。

1。3时用CD的那段时候真的很怀念啊。。。。

更期待的是cd代码公开
这样以后cs 的c/s工具可能就更多更好了。
