   Soon Riot will force LoL users to install "anti-cheat" software at the kernel level. Do I have options? https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/19fkcc1/soon_riot_will_force_lol_users_to_install/ Do not install it. It is not worth it. #Linux #infosec #security

     @nixCraft 1) Windows can be installed in a paravirtualized virtual machine inside linux. It won't be able to see your real disk.
     2) Dual booting Windows with an NTFS+ext4 partition would be enough, but not necessarily in the case of a compromised kernel driver.
     3) Encrypting the linux partition is possible. It's a matter of using a layered LUKS+ext4 partition (or LUKS+LVM+ext4)
     4) A better choice is to have a separate LoL computer.
     5) Don't do it, the tainted kernel is just beyond acceptable.

     Wth is the point? There are AI cheats now that just watch the screen and drive the inputs like a human player - and they work.
     The era of 'anti-cheats' is drawing to a close.
     Thwarting artificial software based edges in game play NEEDS THE GAME TO INCORPORATE IT INTO ITS LOGIC.

     @nixCraft Or dedicate a single anonymous machine without personal data if your such a fan.
