What is the performance overhead of the protected types?

Negligible for typical gameplay code. Each ProtectedInt32, ProtectedFloat or ProtectedString access performs a small integrity check, so we recommend using them for sensitive values (currency, health, scores, save data) rather than per-frame physics state.

Does AntiCheat work with both Mono and IL2CPP?

Yes. AntiCheat targets Unity 2021.3+ and ships managed code that compiles cleanly under both Mono and IL2CPP. All four pillars - Protection, Monitoring, Detection and Punishment - work the same on every supported scripting backend.

Which mobile checks are included for Android and iOS?

Both platforms get a generic genuine check. Android additionally ships dedicated monitors for install source, app hash, signing certificate fingerprint, native libraries and known cheat apps installed on the device.

How do I integrate AntiCheat into my game?

Add the AntiCheat-Monitor prefab (or component) to your first scene, attach the Monitors and Detectors you care about, then drop one or more Punishers (ExitGamePunisher, FlipCameraPunisher, ReduceFpsPunisher, ...) as children.

Can I migrate my existing PlayerPrefs to ProtectedPlayerPrefs?

Yes. The ProtectedPlayerPrefs API mirrors UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs one-for-one, so migration is usually a search-and-replace. After migration, edited save files simply fail to decrypt instead of yielding a tampered value.

What is the difference between the Obfuscator and AntiCheat?

The Obfuscator does its job during the build of your game. Its purpose is to protect your game code from reverse engineering and source code theft. It simply makes the code unreadable to humans. AntiCheat is a runtime tool that runs in your game or app and prevents, for example, memory manipulation, time manipulation, app repacking, and much more.

How AntiCheat Works

Four pillars of defense.

Simply add the AntiCheat-Monitor prefab to your first scene, it will monitor your game and detect any tampering and react accordingly.

Step 1

Protection

Keep sensitive values unreadable in memory and on disk.

Step 2

Monitoring

Monitors the game and device time, package state and installed apps.

Step 3

Detection

Analyzes the monitor output and raises a global threat level.

Step 4

Punishment

Automatically reacts to the threat level. Flip the camera, reduce the FPS and annoy cheaters.

Simply drop-ins for the AntiCheat-Monitor via the Inspector - no code required.

Battle-Tested Defenses

Drop-in Unity replacements.

Each feature is a swap-in for a Unity API you already know - no rewrites, no backend, no extra runtime to babysit.

Protected Memory

Drop-in encrypted replacements for the primitives and collections you use every day. So memory editors find nothing but noise.

Drop-in for int, float, string, vectors and List<T>
Every access triggers an integrity check
Defeats Cheat Engine and GameGuardian memory scans

Original Source

1// Cheater can edit their health...

2int health = 100;

3// ... or edit the player's inventory

4List<int> inventory = new();

Protected Output

1// Now the health is protected...

1ProtectedInt32 health = 100;

3// ... and the inventory like wise

2ProtectedList<int> inventory = new();

Protected PlayerPrefs

Same API as UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs, but every value is encrypted on disk. Edited save files simply fail to decrypt - no extra code path required.

Drop-in API parity with UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs
Per-key encryption + tamper detection on disk
Old plaintext prefs can be migrated transparently

Plaintext Save File

1// Visible to any text editor

2PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Gold", 1000);

Encrypted Save File

1// Tampered files fail to decrypt

2ProtectedPlayerPrefs.SetInt("Gold", 1000);

tampered→decryption fails

Protected Time

Trustworthy game and device time that survive speed hacks and system-clock manipulation.

Drop-in for Time.deltaTime, Time.time and DateTime.UtcNow
Detects speed hacks and clock skew at runtime
Falls back to a trusted system-tick clock on attack

Learn more about Protected Time

Unity Time API

1// Cheater can speed up time...

2float dt = Time.deltaTime;

3// ... or rollback the device clock

4DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;

Protected Time

1// Now the deltaTime is protected...

2float dt = ProtectedTime.deltaTime;

3// ... and the UtcNow like wise

4DateTime now = ProtectedTime.UtcNow;

SpeedHack detected → fallback to trusted time
