|
|||
|
|
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 wallhack 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.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="wall-wart.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../W.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="wango.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">wall wart<72></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>wango</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
