What a guy. What a guy.
His name is Mohamed Al-Sharifi but he's best known as GamerDoc. This 24-year-old from London is becoming an important player in the seemingly never-ending and ever-escalating cat-and-mouse game between gaming companies against hackers and cheat
developers. All online games today employ advanced anti-cheat systems that monitor gamers' computers to see if they're running any cheats. For Valorant, Riot Games developed the Vanguard system, which runs at the kernel level. This is an integral part of
the operating system that manages almost every single thing a system does. It should be one of the most highly secure parts of any computer system, and which could completely compromise a user if accessed by a hacker. Riot has drawn criticism for
Vanguard for this reason, with security experts saying it';s too intrusive. But even a game with an advanced system like Vanguard has cheaters. The company banned more than 8,000 of them when the game was still in beta.
Turns out a 24-year old guy from London is more effective at fighting cheating than a deeply dangerous rootkit. I am so surprised.
