Great topic. The core architecture most anti-cheat teams rely on for process memory protection is a layered approach rather than any single silver bullet. At the kernel level you’ve got drivers like Vanguard, EAC, and BattlEye maintaining an integrity monitor that continuously checks for userland hooks, direct memory access, and injected DLLs. But the actual memory encryption piece is where it gets interesting—top shooters don’t encrypt everything blindly (that would tank performance), they selectively obfuscate the sensitive state: player coordinates, health, ammo, and network packets. A common technique is XOR-based obfuscation with a rotating key stored outside the game process itself, so a memory scanner reading the process sees garbage. Pointer obfuscation is equally critical—che
