Halo 2 Trainer Spawn Anything -SALT V1.0-

[Ryx]

The only people that should be running the Anti-Cheat are people that have been caught cheating or are suspected of it and are now trying to prove that they are playing legit. Thats why they do not want to run it; they don't want to get caught using a mod or hack application in a public server and then be banned again. The average player who does not hack has no reason to use it, therefore this scenario you describe where they are afraid of it is not very accurate.

He never put anything malicious in his code, they have been misinformed you and really you should never trust what they say.

Now, someone else has modified some of his released/leaked code, but that is not Johnny's responsibility, as you said he is long gone from the Halo community.


edit: fyi, the anticheat uses a GetKeyboardType() call.


My point about trust was not that I do not want to give trust; its that it makes it harder for me to acquire said source files.

...except everyone saw it. This was a good 2-3 years ago, but yeah, it happened, became public, and only moose trusts johnny's stuff, which he couldn't even read the source if johnny gave it to him.

Actually, anyone slightly good is forced to run it, kills. Kant should remember johnny's keylogger...

Anyways, no one's actually came forth and said what it does transmit. I'll take a look at it with wireshark, but for all I know it's taking personal data too. All we know is that it scans halo2's memory for injected code, (or at least we think it does...), listens for writeprocessmemory/other debugging/memory editing, and gets lists of running processes. There's a reason only trusted companies ever make successful anticheats.

The only one that I know of that was even remotely successful was 1.08pc's anti cheat, and it wasn't even required to run. It also featured a stat system. Sintaxion wanted source released, but it wasn't and he quit the project, rather suddenly. However, source was eventually released here, and as you can see, is perfectly safe.

On the otherhand, MM forces players to run it, does not provide source or prove in any way what it does share.
