Hi guys .. So How i can Protect Trainer from decryption In any way possible ?

[FreeER]

haha, when you figure it out be sure to let all the game companies paying for things like Themida and Denuvo know so they can pay you instead.

In other words, it's really really really *ing hard to truly do so. To start out don't use CE to generate your trainers, it's open source so it's easy to look up how it works and undo it (and people have created programs/scripts to do so already). Don't use a language you can't compile, and don't use a language like C# where you can easily pull information from the "binary". Use something like C++ to write it, then google for basic anti-debugging code and obfuscation techniques and tools to make it harder.

Or if you can bring yourself to do it try using an interpreted language that's naturally obfuscated like lolcode or brainfuck (see https://dzone.com/articles/most-difficult-and-strangest-programming-languages while they may not be interpreted or originally intended that way many likely have interpreters people wrote for fun). You want it to be interpreted and not compiled in this case otherwise they'd have normal assembly code to work with and that's a hell of a lot easier to reverse than the language itself lmao

It's an arms race.

encodeFunction is a decent way to stop people from scanning for text as decodeFunction doesn't convert it to text

[predprey]

Whatever protection you have is rendered useless once someone with the intention to rip your trainer decides to just scan for changes in the executable memory. Unless you decide to obfuscate your injection code, in which case you are just subjecting the users of your trainer to unnecessary bloat and redundant CPU cycles for your own "benefit", a la denuvo.

use enableDRM then

@FreeER

Thank you for reply. Well, even if I save an exe file, is it easy to decrypt?

[OldCheatEngineUser]

maybe not to be decrypted, but reverse engineered.

You really can't hide much of any thing that you generate with open source software. Just one of those funny ways the universe balances things out.

I'm betting that if you just focus on making the best trainers you can, you will get to the point that you might be able to pull this off, but I'm thinking you'll need to learn more about writing programs in general.

Not exactly, CE encode function use lua's dump function to convert text source (or internal compiled function) to byte code with striping debug information, then compress and finally convert to acsii85 encoding text (the final random-like text string)
ref: find lua_encodefunction.
Someone may reference CE source to decode the ascii85 encoding and unzip to get the byte code, but with striping debug information, at least the LOCAL variable name is not recoverable.
The GLOBAL variable name is like dll's export function, it still may be a hint to what and how the script do.

You may minify your lua source eg. lua minifier (but this for 5.1, not fully support lua 5.3) before hand so to add a bit more entropy to your source.
