Battling The Eye: Exploring the Anti-Cheat Techniques of BattlEye

The never-ending battle between cheaters and anti-cheat developers within the realm of multiplayer video games has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated countermeasures, including the implementation of kernel-level anti-cheat solutions.

Unfortunately, these defenses are mostly undocumented, and their effectiveness is still ill explored in literature.
