In certain highly competitive gaming scenarios, to better safeguard developers' revenue and the experience of legitimate players, JikGuard has developed a convenient, efficient, and intuitive anti-Cheats SDK (Software Development Kit). This feature has been integrated into multiple popular games and has demonstrated outstanding protection capabilities.
This anti-cheats SDK is designed to provide game operators with effective tools that visually demonstrate cheats usage within the game. It enables real-time monitoring of cheats, pirated users, and hacked accounts, detects malicious user behavior and emerging cheats, and delivers a powerful new weapon in the fight against game cheats. It includes the following features:
Emulator Detection
The simulator was designed for player convenience, but certain features have also been exploited by the game's gray and black markets. These include built-in root privileges, auto click, application multi-instancing, and asymmetric advantages. Such functionalities pose potential security risks to the game.
However, as emulators are commonly used gaming environments, we cannot simply disable them outright. To address these challenges, JikGuard Anti-Cheats SDK precisely identifies emulator environments and offers tailored solutions for different game genres and scenarios, effectively preventing Game Black/Gray Industry from exploiting emulators for cheating.
Risk Environment Detection
The runtime environment of a game serves as a critical indicator for assessing security risks. If a game operates within environments such as rooted devices, jailbroken devices, virtual machines, virtual frameworks, or cloud phones, significant security vulnerabilities exist. These environments can grant cheats the elevated privileges required for exploitation while concealing cheating activities and evading detection.
JikGuard Anti-Cheats SDK accurately distinguishes between normal and abnormal environments, identifying various risk scenarios such as rooted devices, jailbroken devices, virtual machines, virtual frameworks, and cloud phones. It integrates with other dimensional data to comprehensively assess game security risks and delivers personalized control strategies.
SDK Anti-Stripping
In highly competitive gaming environments, as developers enhance their protection measures, Game Black/Gray Industry adapts its attack strategies. It attempts to circumvent or disable SDKs through tactics such as blocking SDK data reporting or launching patch attacks.
To counter these tactics, JikGuard Game Hardening has developed an SDK Anti-Stripping feature. By utilizing data returned through the SDK Anti-Stripping interface and employing game-side anti-stripping data encryption relay mechanisms, it verifies whether the SDK has been stripped. This effectively raises the barrier to Hack and safeguards game security.
Anti-Cheats Data Correlation
The anti-cheats SDK transmits multi-dimensional data—including detected cheating activities and risk environments—to game developers in real time. This data is correlated with player information, providing developers with a comprehensive, multidimensional view of game security risks.
Game developers can integrate risk data into strategic countermeasures, enabling real-time online control to instantly combat cheating or impose bans on offending users, thereby achieving more precise and efficient anti-cheating measures.
Simultaneously, JikGuard leverages multidimensional risk data to comprehensively assess and intelligently detect potential cheating activities, enabling predictive defense against Game Black/Gray Industry attacks and securing a strategic advantage in security countermeasures.
Additionally, the JikGuard Cheats SDK integrates specialized features such as studio account identification and device fingerprint blacklist/whitelisting. We have also optimized the SDK integration process, eliminating complex configuration options and settings to significantly reduce implementation costs and enhance security countermeasure efficiency.
