Community Guardian 

CommunityGuardian addresses online cheat detection including Malware in any game where multiple players compete simultaneously, such as MMORPGs (Massively multiplayer online role-playing games) and First Person Shooters. The product allows for the creation and maintenance of a community anti-cheating policy as well as the sharing of cheats related knowledge among its members.

 

Using CogniSafe’s anti-cheat technology, CommunityGuardian allows for real-time detection of gaming cheats like:

 

  • Cheating by modifying client infrastructure: When a player alters the client installation, such as device drivers in his operating system. For example, modifying a graphics driver to make a wall transparent, in a first person shooter, so that the gamer can see through the wall (“wall hack”).
     
  • Cheating by activating BOTs at client infrastructure:  When a Bot plays instead of the player. Bot types Include Aiming Bots, Collusion Bots, among others.
     
  • Cheating related to Internal Misuse: When a player uses software cheats that interfere with the client software.
     
  • Cheating related to Virtual Assets: When a player uses software cheats that interfere with other's client software in order to steal virtual assets.
     
  • Cheating by denying service to peer players: When a player gains advantages by denying service to his peer players. For example, a cheater delays the responses from his opponent by flooding his network connection. 
     
  • Cheating by attacking peer game software: When a player gains advantages by attacking Peer game software. For example, cheater can steal/erase other peer's personal game data. 
     
  • Cheating by collusion: When two or more players at the same playground (or one player using multiple computers) share information about their own state (such as their position or status).
     
  • Timing Cheats: When a player changes moves based on timing, such as delaying a move until all the opponents’ moves have been made.

  • Cheating by Abusing the Game Procedure: When a player cheats without any tech­nical sophistication by simply abusing the operating procedure of a game. One common case is escaping ("Cutting the cord").
