Cheat Engine

[Xeni]

Hi! I'm trying to bypass a games anticheat which seems to pick up Cheat Engine before I attach.

What I've done:

Hooking NtOpenProcess (tries to open my Cheat Engine several times)
Hooking CreateFileW (block all file opens to my exe)
Hooking NtCreateFile (block all file opens)
Hooking NtOpenFile (block all file opens)
Window title changed
Window caption changed
Window class changed
Compiled cheat engine myself
VMProtected executable

Just having it open gets the program detected after a minute. Note: CreateFileW, NtCreateFile, NtOpenFile are all called, but they never seem to target my EXE.

With the NtOpenProcess hook, I was able to bypass the games third party anti-cheat, however, the developers have added their own checks in the game executable itself. No, there is no kernel drivers involved (they don't use one).

i dont think discussion about bypassing anti-hacks/cheats are allowed here anymore.

but for your info it doesnt have to be an external data/code security check, it can also be the instruction bytes if it changed then it will drop you an error.
so internally a thread is performing Read-Only on couple functions and if condition satisfied then baaam.
