Hex Hacks

[pissedupnewt]

I help run a cod4 server and my friends at work have been talking about a hex program that changes things in the game and because it changes the code and not add to it its harder to see. I would like to find a program or ways to check for these cheats either through console commands or somthing like that any help would be gratefull. :huh:

that program is called "punkbuster"

Yes, PB is the preferred anti-cheat solution in modern games. Other anti-cheat solutions are usually ran client-side - so obviously there is a trust issue there.

 

As for hex-editing game files, that would still trigger a kick - due to the fact that the game-file's MD5 fingerprint would still be changed, regardless of the fact that nothing was added or taken away. I expect that such activities would return a "file integrity error" of some description when joining a server.
