Hiding Applications/ Changing their name

Im so glad I found this place

Ok the game I'm hacking uses this really simple method to find cheaters, theres some kindof spyware bundled in the game that scans your computer processes/application names for certain things.. like cheatengine, I was banned from this game for, quote, 'using cheatengine tons of times', I'm almost positive they just knew that cheatengine was open, not that it was editing their game, hey I couldve been using it for something else for all they know.

Its simple enough to change cheatengine.exe to firefox.exe ;) but the application name still shows up as Cheat Engine 5.4, how to change this? also is there any other ways they would know, like if it hooks into their game? I'm using a UCE, so would that do the trick?

thanks so much :)

During the runtime? Try FindWindow & SetWindowText...

In your case using tools such as shown on [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] is probably the best idea. Although I highly doubt that's the only protection this game makes use of. :rolleyes:

Cheat Engine is OpenSource, by the way.
