I recommend just publishing your trainer as a table or unprotected .cetrainer so everyone knows you got it first
Besides, people can just do an changed/unchanged scan in executable memory of the target process to find out what your trainer changed, without even having to look at your trainers

Regardless of it being protected fully as well, Cheat Engine has to unprotect it internally eventually to read what your trainer is trying to do. Which leaves the ability for external apps to use the same method(s) that CE does to unpack/unprotect the trainer.

If you want your trainer(s) to be protected, then learn how to program and make your own trainers by hand instead of using CE's generator. (Granted, even then they are still open to being unprotected in any manner you implement manually.)

And as Dark Byte said, people can just scan for your changes. You can also breakpoint on ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessMemory and find what your trainer is doing entirely.

Yeah even I've scanned changed/unchanged on the results of somebody else's (non-CE!) trainer before when I wanted to figure out WTF they were touching.

Let's not forget the elephant in the room: since CE is open-source, anyone can simply modify it to let you bypass the protection (not that it'd be impossible otherwise, as I'm sure everyone on this forum is aware.) You wouldn't even be violating the license agreement by doing so.

In fact, someone posted a thread here a while ago asking how to do it, and Dark Byte actually responded by saying it's as simple as commenting one line.

EDIT: *facepalm* Forgot I found this using search; sorry for bumping an old thread
