Hello everyone! Please tell me, how do I protect trainer, table from Decompiler CE Trainer v1.0



Thank you all! Topic resolved...

if you care about protecting your tables/trainers, don't use cheat engine
you could make your code difficult to read, but that's about it


best you can do is just upload your cheat table unprotected and show everyone that you got it first

Sir There Are Many Functions To Protect Your Trainers U Can Put This In The Starting Of Your Trainer

This option I know. I'm interested in the process of protecting tables against decompiling to directly support the table is not decompilable and gave an error. Such protection already made some friends. Here I am interested this process.

Save Your Trainer as .exe Not .CETrainer

To protect trainer is different with to protect script or code.

To protect trainer, i think only one way to do. Give use authentication progress (Online or Offline). This progress will require user identification process should be by IP, user computer serial machine, etc.

Protect script and code inside a trainer also can be done with make more difficult for people who want to get code inside. Even you make your code encrypted (SHA, MD5, Base64, etc), peoples still have a way to get source code / cheat table. That is mean there are no 100% safety way to protect script inside a trainer. It should easier for someone to break and get code from a trainer if has Reverse Engineering knowledge.
Also you can put time trial or password function or auto self destruction function inside your trainer.

And as Dark Byte side, use other programming language to protect scripts / code rather than use CE if you want and can do it. In CE / Lua we just able to make it harder to get source code / script.

Maybe in future someone will find the way or make a tool to protect script for every trainers.

"Decompiler CE Trainer v1.0" - this program deals with simple CheatEngine CETRAINER encryption

You can try to modify and compile your own CheatEngine.

Change those procedures:
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/OpenSave.pas#L1173
https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/OpenSave.pas#L1262

Compile your own CE, release a trainer as EXE (not a "tiny" one)

Regular guy, who blindly follows youtube tutorial, will extract CETRAINER file, then will stuck there, because decompiler won't decompile it.

Reverse code engineering guy will crack it anyway.

Jeez, what a douchebag that made that program and then publicly share as something that noone could do.

As for protecting the CE trainer, whats the point. People can still steal your trainer codes. Just don't give a f-beep and publicly shame anyone who steals your code, thats what i do now.

Even if your trainer is the hardest thing in the world to crack, people could attach another instance of CE to the game (say, with both the game and trainer in the same sandbox so the trainer can't see CE normally) and then do changed/unchanged to find what in the game is being modded when the trainer options are toggled...

Wanting to put something on somebody's computer and then prevent them from looking into it is stupid. It's literally DRM-level of stupid. If you give it to them, they CAN look at it. You can make it more difficult, but you CANNOT stop them.

I normally just use the following to protect my trainers.
