|
|
A form of game cheat especially associated with first-person shooters like
|
|
|
|
|
Quake, in which the walls in the simulated maze or dungeon are rendered
|
|
|
|
|
transparent to the cheater. This gives the cheater normally hidden
|
|
|
|
|
information about the whereabouts of other players. Beyond gaming, a is the
|
|
|
|
|
paradigm case of a whole class of security problems that stem from the fact
|
|
|
|
|
that a server cannot trust client software, and server authors must assume
|
|
|
|
|
that all computation farmed out to a client is exposed to and can be
|
|
|
|
|
interfered with by the user.
