#334 meatshot 8) vol. 5 in TF2 General Discussion

If you know exactly what it does you have a much easier time avoiding it, security through obscurity would still apply. I'm not assuming that this is the only security feature, security is layered and this should typically be one of them.

That statement supports it, it says not to depend upon it. You're supposed to use it to supplement other security features.

But this isn't really the point of this thread so I'll be quiet now :P

EmilioEstevezPapaSmurf323are you dense?
you need to have proprietary software to have a good anticheat

Hiding what you're doing is one of the worst ways to write secure software. You are just hoping your software is secure/doing what you intend because people don't know how it does it, rather than it actually being well written.

There's an entire wikipedia page on it, but you tried.
