Hack detection

[Lenny]

Well, like iago said earlier, a program that runs locally on a machine can never completely protect itself on that machine.  This topic is very similar to an older discussion a while ago where someone was trying to protect his or her program from unauthorized users.

Your best bet is to make your program dependent on some remote resource.

And then they just modify a hosts file, create a simple prog that always verifies as true, etc.

[Soul Taker]

He said make it dependant on a remote resource, not make it verify itself to one.

Couldn't you just feed this remote source false info about yourself while in game?

[iago]

It would have to be set up in such a way to make that difficult.  As I said before, it'll never be impossible

So if it's impossible, there is no point in doing it, which means I wasted ~200 hours so far, which means I should just kill myself?

Wow flawed logic sucks.

[ontopic] Does anyone have any tangible suggustions? If you do, please explain them. This may be a topic people can use later.

No, just go engage in more useful pursuits.  For instance, go earn additional cash and donate it to vL in gratitude for our forums having shown you the error of your ways.
