FLSAC: Freelancer - Stucuk's Anti-Cheat System

[Treewyrm]

Its not easy to get around. As i said, if you didn't run the app the server would kick you after 45 seconds and you wouldn't be able to connect again for 1 minute(which would put people off from trying to terrorise a server if they could only play for 45 seconds then had to wait 1 minute). The FHook side would be open source, but the actual DLL's which get the fingerprints and send them to the server could never be open source, if they were then you could easily write your own application to get around the system.

I don't get why u wouldn't "Trust" a community project to help defend against people modding ini files. The application ONLY sends information to the ip address of the server. The server side doesn't send anything but only recieves information. Its imposible for anything bad to happen by running the software as no information is being sent anywhere except to the server you want to play on.

Why would I trust you or the community in matters of what should be installed my systems in the first place? More importantly why should I prove myself innocent to server each and every time? Plus, I'm afraid your system in such concept will have a one big vulnerability effectively rendering whole protection mechanism useless due to how and when Freelancer initializes data. So why?
