Anything that is not a kernel level anticheat is totally useless on todays market. You cannot properly prevent botting because, without kernel access, you cannot detect injected DLLs or inspect processes at the level required to stop them.

It's good to see people contributing and trying different approaches, but in general, you won't be able to prevent bots from accessing and operating on your server with a usermode anticheat alone.

There is a solution that I have not posted or shared with anyone that can fully prevent Adrenaline/Helper from being used on servers. However, I want to give it more time before discussing it publicly so I can see how people attempt to bypass anticheat systems. As I said, kernel level protection is the only thing that can effectively stop Adrenaline usage. When combined with HWID bans, TPM validation, and other hardware based checks, bypassing the protection becomes significantly harder.

not true, you can change any bot program name so the ones that are injecting aint a problem any more, you can aswell bypass everything in a dll so his way of thinking isnt bad at all

I agree that kernel-level protection offers much deeper visibility and control, especially when it comes to advanced bots and bypass techniques.

That said, I'm not trying to claim that a usermode solution is impossible to bypass. My goal is simply to increase the cost and complexity of bypassing the protection while keeping deployment simple, stable, and compatible for server owners.

A lot of Interlude server operators don't want to install kernel drivers or deal with the risks and maintenance that come with them. That's why I'm currently focusing on a layered approach: secure launcher architecture, HWID licensing, session validation, anti-debugging, injection detection, integrity checks, replay protection, and heartbeat monitoring.

I'm not ruling out kernel support in the future. Right now, my priority is gathering real-world feedback, improving the product, and learning how people attempt to bypass different protection layers.

I appreciate the feedback and the discussion.

IronLock Shield - Latest Closed Beta Update

Hello everyone,

We have released another protection update for IronLock Shield during the closed beta phase.

This update focuses on stronger anti-bot hardening, virtual input detection, suspicious driver traces, and stricter launcher/session enforcement.

Latest improvements:

✓ Known virtual input driver family checks
✓ Detection coverage for Interception, ViGEmBus, HidHide, HidGuardian, vJoy, vMulti, ScpVBus and FakerInput
✓ Active service, loaded-driver and device-object trace checks
✓ Improved virtual keyboard input detection
✓ Hookless virtual mouse click detection without interfering with mouse movement
✓ Raw Input based mouse verification
✓ Critical virtual input detections now close the client and revoke the gateway session
✓ Suspicious driver traces are handled as security events
✓ Stopped driver leftovers are ignored to reduce false positives
✓ Improved gateway disconnect logic for revoked or outdated launcher sessions
✓ Website feature list updated with the latest protection modules

IronLock Shield does not rely on gameplay behavior analysis.
The system focuses on external interference such as memory access, injected input, process handles, DLL injection, manual mapping, runtime patching, suspicious drivers and protected-route bypass attempts.

IronLock Shield is still in closed beta.
Selected Lineage II Interlude server owners can receive 1 month of free access in exchange for testing and feedback.
