What is the difference between an unban tool and a spoofer?

09/09/2026 10:07 Mannaky#1
I’m not entirely clear on the real difference between a spoofer and an "unban tool." An unban tool promises to make the PC "clean" and playable again, but to achieve this on an HWID-banned PC, it still has to falsify hardware values ​​and serial numbers—which is essentially the exact same thing a spoofer does. An unban tool is basically a permanent spoofer that changes serial numbers for good, whereas a classic "temporary" spoofer only changes them for the current Windows session (reverting everything upon reboot). Is that correct so far?

My reasoning is this: if Activision can detect any spoofer, and you’ve used an "unban tool," you’ve effectively spoofed your HWID—so won't you get detected anyway?

You have the basic concept right, but the execution and risk profiles between the two are very different:

"Unban Tools" (Permanent Spoofers): These attempt to physically overwrite serial numbers in hardware/firmware (e.g., flashing motherboard BIOS, rewriting SMBIOS tables, or modifying NIC/disk registers).

The Risk: Flashing firmware carries a real risk of bricking components. Worse, modern anti-cheats (like Ricochet) don't just look for blacklist IDs; they cross-check hardware certificates, EFI runtime environments, and registry traces. If an unban tool permanently alters a serial into an invalid OEM format, the PC is instantly flagged. Once a newly written ID gets banned, you have to flash everything all over again.

Temporary Spoofers: These operate entirely in memory or via kernel drivers loaded at boot. They hook the hardware queries made by the OS and anti-cheat, feeding them randomized, mathematically valid serials for the active session.

The Advantage: Your real hardware serials are completely untouched. When you reboot, everything returns to stock. If an account gets banned or a seed is burned, you simply reboot, inject fresh randomized IDs, and load a new account without risking your motherboard firmware.

Because modern anti-cheats trace shadow bans across telemetry layers, a reliable temporary spoofer is the industry standard for a reason. Permanent modifications leave static footprints that are much harder to maintain.

If you're looking for a clean, stable temporary spoofer with active Ricochet/EAC/BE support that doesn't mess with your BIOS, check our service thread or shoot me a PM for details.

Unban tool FTW, go get it

Currently, most spoofers aren't working properly for COD, and to get unbanned, you may need to replace your TPM chip.

In any case, a permanent spoofer paired with a new TPM chip is the better option. You spoof once and you're done - no hassle of having to spoof again after every PC reboot like you would with a temporary spoofer.

I thought a spoofer and an unban tool were basically the same thing, just different terms lol

Are they not the same and we just used simpler terms like permanent and temporary spoofers xdd

Unban tool is too generic can mean HWID or Account unban

“Unban tool” is mostly a marketing term. It can mean a cleaner, permanent spoofer or both—it cannot reverse an account ban.

A temporary spoofer changes reported identifiers until reboot; a permanent spoofer changes them persistently. Both can fail or be detected. For COD, motherboard/TPM compatibility and cleaning old traces matter more than the name.

CookieBunker COD Perm covers GPU, disk, ARP, TPM and SMBIOS.
