The kernel driver for Call of Duty's new Anti-cheat called RICOCHET has been leaked. P2C devs are already reverse engineering it
- Thread starter AshenOne
- Start date
- Activision/Blizzard
Have a strong feeling this was "leaked" on purpose so they can work out the kinks before release.
Is a mix of people who really like the challenge of hacking/cracking things, and people who like money and sell hacks or claim bounties
Activision Blizzard: So what if we Leak a Version of the Kernel ourselves and have these assholes think they won while really this makes it easy for us to find even more cheaters.
Some PUBG Mobile cheat maker made $70 million or some shit, there's serious money in it for big games. Plenty of groups raking in the cash manage to stay anonymous on top of that.
Inside The ‘World’s Largest’ Video Game Cheating Empire
The cheat-making group known as "Chicken Drumstick" made more than $70 million selling cheats for PUBG Mobile. This is the story of its rise and fall.

I mean.. all I am going to say is CoD has been sending these weird "Cheaters WILL DIE" emails and now this leaks. I agree with the other poster. Feels like a honey pot
It's funny you have this perception that cheat developers are basement dwellers barely scrapping. Private game cheats are practically an industry at this point, there are a lot of people paying for subscriptions to this shit.
Just as much as phone hackers pretty much selling zero-day exploits.
Yeah, this seems a little too ridiculous otherwise. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Not shocked at all, Activision is a huge company it was just a matter of time before someone got it.
The real question is will activision actually work on actively Fixing vulns re; ricochet, But like I had stated on the announcement thread, I'm not expecting them to even do that.

No, its not funny i have this perception. Also, its obvious that the cheating industry is thriving and that theyre more using a Compaq Presario. They upgraded to a Dell Vostro last year.
Very true. This More this feels like a feint by Activision-Blizzard.
So every person having doubts about activision just got their wish.
I'm still in camp OS/API by MS since it's going to have get done by them vs 3rd parties who literally can't even before launch keep their security efforts under wraps.
I would but imagination is on the flipside of how activision can fuck it up this badly.

Yeah, not sure where this would have come from since it's not implemented anywhere yet. I know attacks can happen and employees can leak things, but this feels possibly intentional as a way to get people distracted on something that's entirely different, or as a means to patch things up before it actually drops.
Paying big bucks for someone to leak it. Big bucks being related with how much money the cheat makers make.
Still, I'm on the "leaked on purpose" camp.
This. That or it's an extremely early build of it to see what they try to reverse engineer first.
And? It's a shitty business. Imagine if they spent this much effort on something less pointless.
This is, quite literally, their life. They make a business out of it.
