Geeeezz what a b*llsh*t.. As if like YOUR solution could stop the cheating. Hackers will always find a way.. and with YOUR solution it will probably be a matter of seconds. Nope. Given the tools used today and the method used, they are exploiting one VERY simple mistake used by programmers not thinking about abuse. Literally searching memory to find a match to the number you want to change and then blindly changing every match to that number. Say, you want to change your car's current top speed of 200 mph to 500 mph. They search the apps data area for a decimal match to "200" and then do a replace. (obviously, it's flawed. Say you want to change a car with a handling of 1.00 G and do a search to replace all 1.00 with 3.00 - you will not only affect the handling but suddenly a lot of other things will break that just happened to have a value of 1 at the time). My solution is dead simple. Instead of storing the values plainly, you modify them by a secret formula (could be a simple as "times 2" or complicated "times 200/50+25.55" or any other secret but consistent amount). Now these hackers don't know what to tell their hacking programs what to search for, so they can't change anything. That's it. It's THAT simple and THAT effective. It's THAT simplicity and ease of implementation which frustrates me that they haven't done it yet. I've sent it to their offices via various channels and met with generic responses. For some reason they just don't see to care about really fixing the cheating.
