Warzone hackers reportedly reversing RICOCHET Anti-Cheat after leak Activision \/ PixabayCall of Duty\u2019s new anti-cheat, RICOCHET, was unveiled on October 13 and, within a day, Warzone hackers are reportedly reversing it after a major leak of the kernel-level driver\u2019s files. Warzone has been a hacker paradise since release with the battle royale plagued by cheaters hellbent on ruining matches with aimbots, wallhacks and other nefarious tools. With CoD: Vanguard on the way, Activision have unveiled their upcoming anti-cheat RICOCHET to combat the waves of troublemakers making Warzone and other games a nightmare. According to the watchdog group Anti-Cheat Police Department, Activision finally had a fighting chance against hackers with RICOCHET, but a leaked kernel-level driver may lose them the war before it even begins. Unfortunately, the kernel driver for @CallofDuty new Anti-cheat called RICOCHET got leaked today, and P2C devs are already reversing it, this is already very bad. pic.twitter.com\/Vb8f3eXx5b \u2014 Anti-Cheat Police Department \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f (@AntiCheatPD) October 14, 2021 RICOCHET Kernel-level driver leaked In a screenshot posted by Anti-cheat Police Department, hackers are already in the process of reversing RICOCHET after the driver was leaked. \u201cP2C devs are already reversing it, this is already very bad,\u201d the group warned. If RICOCHET is already being dissected, hackers will have a head start in preparing for the launch of Vanguard and the anti-cheat\u2019s implementation into Warzone. it is accordingly the same as a @equ8anticheat driver they took all the stuff they did and added more user information which is probably for their HWID banning system this kernel driver will be easily bypassed, the thing that worries me the most is the weak protection they have. \u2014 Anti-Cheat Police Department \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f (@AntiCheatPD) October 14, 2021 To make matters worse, speaking with a reverse engineer, it was determined that the driver is \u201cnothing that special\u201d and wasn\u2019t well protected. \u201cThis kernel driver will be easily bypassed, the thing that worries me the most is the weak protection they have,\u201d the watchdog group added. Cheat developers are not afraid of the RICOCHET Anti-cheat, and to be fair most cheats already operate at the kernel level for a very long time, it is down to the developers at Ricochet if they have the skills to detect these cheats now, the playing ground is now even pic.twitter.com\/Xb7OFflbi2 \u2014 Anti-Cheat Police Department \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f (@AntiCheatPD) October 13, 2021 Warzone hackers not afraid of RICOCHET In forum posts shared by Anti-Cheat PD, cheat sellers explained how there wouldn\u2019t be a price increase and that existing products will support Vanguard and Warzone despite RICOCHET\u2019s implementation. \u201cCheat developers are not afraid of the RICOCHET Anti-cheat, and to be fair most cheats already operate at the kernel level for a very long time,\u201d the group wrote. \u201cIt is down to the developers at RICOCHET if they have the skills to detect these cheats now, the playing ground is now even.\u201d It remains to be seen how serious this leak will be and if it will drastically affect the course of Vanguard\u2019s launch. Of course, hackers don\u2019t play by the rules to begin with, so it will be interesting to see how Activision respond and if they have another trick up their sleeves leading up to launch. At the moment, nothing is confirmed so we\u2019ll be monitoring the situation closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
