- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 week ago:
It operates at kernel level, it lives in the kernel, i would argue it “modifies” the kernel since it lives there. Also you cant say that its not a rootkit since there is no way to know what the anticheat does. If ea or riot games or others eant they can look at your files processes or just do whatever since they habe access to everything. This is a rootkit, you just hope they only look at the processes to stop cheaters but you cant know if they may send something back or execute other code.

No the anti cheat is just very intrusive and does wild stuff to look at what other process3s are doing and checks system calls etc. The fact that bf6 wont run if you have the riot games anti cheat running (wich alsso is very bad) is telling. If one company cant trust that the anticheat of another company may break something when it interferes with yours is bad. Look at the crowdstrike incident.
Microsoft itself wants all this stuff gone from the kernel after crowdstrike. If your anticheat needs root acess to look at every file, process and syscall to check if you are hacking it is a desaster waiting to happen. Look at all the anti virus programs that were hijaacked to get root acess before.

Have you read the article? It says it is not a kernel level anti cheat so it DHOULD work on linux but was not speciffially testez with proton.
