Modern commercial anti-cheats are faced by an increasing competetiveness in professional game-hack production, and thus have begun implementing questionable methods to prevent this. In this article, we will present a previously unknown anti-cheat module, pushed to a small fraction of the player base by the commercial anti-cheat BattlEye. The prevalent theory is that this module is specifically targeted against reverse engineers, to monitor the production of video game hacking tools, due to the fact that this is dynamically pushed.
Shellcode ??
The code snippets in this article are beautified decompilations of shellcode [1] that we’ve dumped and deobfuscated from BattlEye. The shellcode was pushed to my development machine while messing around in Escape from Tarkov. On this machine various reverse engineering applications such as x64dbg are installed and frequently running, which might’ve caught the attention of the anti-cheat in question. To confirm the suspicion, a secondary machine that is mainly used for testing was booted, and on it, Escape from Tarkov was installed. The shellcode in question was not pushed to the secondary machine, which runs on the same network and utilized the same game account as the development machine.
[1] Shellcode refers to independent code that is dynamically loaded into a running process.
Other members of Secret Club have experienced the same ordeal, and the common denominator here is that we’re all highly specialized reverse engineers, which means most have the same applications installed. To put a nail in the coffin I asked a few of my fellow highschool classmates to let me log shellcode activity (using a hypervisor) on their machines while playing Escape from Tarkov, and not a single one of them received the module in question. Needless to say, some kind of technical minority is being targeted, which the following code segments will show.
Context
In this article, you will see references to a function called battleye::send. This function is used by the commercial anti-cheat to send information from the client module BEClient_x64/x86.dll inside of the game process, to the respective game server. This is to be interpreted as a pure “send data over the internet” function, and only takes a buffer as input. The ID in each report header determines the type of “packet”, which can be used to distinguish packets from one another.
Device driver enumeration
This routine has two main purposes: enumerating device drivers and installed certificates used by the respective device drivers. The former has a somewhat surprising twist though, this shellcode will upload any device driver(!!) matching the arbitrary “evil” filter to the game server. This means that if your proprietary, top-secret and completely unrelated device driver has the word “Callback” in it, the shellcode will upload the entire contents of the file on disk. This is a privacy concern as it is a relatively commonly used word for device drivers that install kernel callbacks for monitoring events.
The certificate enumerator sends the contents of all certificates used by device drivers on your machine directly to the game server:

Window enumeration
This routine enumerates all visible windows on your computer. Each visible window will have its title dumped and uploaded to the server together with the window class and style. If this shellcode is pushed while you have a Google Chrome tab open in the background with confidential information regarding your divorce, BattlEye now knows about this, too bad. While this is probably a really great method to monitor the activites of cheaters, it’s a very aggressive way and probably yields a ton of inappropriate information, which will be sent to the game server over the internet. No window is safe from being dumped, so be careful when you load up your favorite shooter game.
The decompilation is as follows:
top_window_handle = GetTopWindow(0x00);
if ( top_window_handle )
{
report_buffer = (std::uint8_t*)malloc(0x5000);
report_buffer[0] = 0;
report_buffer[1] = 0xC;
buffer_index = 2;
do
{
// FILTER VISIBLE WINDOWS
if ( GetWindowLongA(top_window_handle, GWL_STYLE) & WS_VISIBLE )
{
// QUERY WINDOW TEXT
window_text_length = GetWindowTextA(top_window_handle, &report_buffer[buffer_index + 1], 0x40);
for ( I = 0; I < window_text_length; ++i )
report_buffer[buffer_index + 1 + i] = 0x78;
report_buffer[buffer_index] = window_text_length;
// QUERY WINDOW CLASS NAME
after_name_index = buffer_index + (char)window_text_length + 1;
class_name_length = GetClassNameA(top_window_handle, &report_buffer[after_name_index + 1], 0x40);
report_buffer[after_name_index] = class_name_length;
after_class_index = after_name_index + (char)class_name_length + 1;
// QUERY WINDOW STYLE
window_style = GetWindowLongA(top_window_handle, GWL_STYLE);
extended_window_style = GetWindowLongA(top_window_handle, GWL_EXSTYLE);
*(_DWORD *)&report_buffer[after_class_index] = extended_window_style | window_style;
// QUERY WINDOW OWNER PROCESS ID
GetWindowThreadProcessId(top_window_handle, &window_pid);
*(_DWORD *)&report_buffer[after_class_index + 4] = window_pid;
buffer_index = after_class_index + 8;
}
top_window_handle = GetWindow(top_window_handle, GW_HWNDNEXT);
}
while ( top_window_handle && buffer_index <= 0x4F40 );
battleye::send(report_buffer, buffer_index, false);
free(report_buffer);
}
Shellcode detection
Another mechanism of this proprietary shellcode is the complete address space enumeration done on all processes running. This enumeration routine checks for memory anomalies frequently seen in shellcode and manually mapped portable executables [2].
[2] Manually mapping an executable is a process of replicating the windows image loader
This is done by enumerating all processes and their respective threads. By checking the start address of each thread and cross-referencing this to known module address ranges, it is possible to deduce which threads were used to execute dynamically allocated shellcode. When such an anomaly is found, the thread start address, thread handle, thread index and thread creation time are all sent to the respective game server for further investigation.
This is likely done because allocating code into a trusted process yields increased stealth. This method kind of mitigates it as shellcode stands out if you start threads directly for them. This would not catch anyone using a method such as thread hijacking for shellcode execution, which is an alternative method.
The decompilation is as follows:
query_buffer_size = 0x150;
while ( 1 )
{
// QUERY PROCESS LIST
query_buffer_size += 0x400;
query_buffer = (SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFORMATION *)realloc(query_buffer, query_buffer_size);

Shellcode dumping
The shellcode will also scan the game process and the Windows process lsass.exe for suspicious memory allocations. While the previous memory scan mentioned in the above section looks for general abnormalities in all processes specific to thread creation, this focuses on specific scenarios and even includes a memory region size whitelist, which should be quite trivial to abuse.
The game and lsass process are scanned for executable memory outside of known modules by checking the Type field in MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION. This field will be MEM_IMAGE if the memory section is mapped properly by the Windows image loader (Ldr), whereas the field would be MEM_PRIVATE or MEM_MAPPED if allocated by other means. This is actually the proper way to detect shellcode and was implemented in my project MapDetection over three years ago. Thankfully anti-cheats are now up to speed.
After this scan is done, a game-specific check has been added which caught my attention. The shellcode will spam IsBadReadPtr on reserved and freed memory, which should always return true as there would normally not be any available memory in these sections. This aims to catch cheaters manually modifying the virtual address descriptor[3] to hide their memory from the anti-cheat. While this is actually a good idea in theory, this kind of spamming is going to hurt performance and IsBadReadPtr is very simple to hook.
[3] The Virtual Address Descriptor tree is used by the Windows memory manager to describe memory ranges used by a process as they are allocated. When a process allocates memory with VirutalAlloc, the memory manager creates an entry in the VAD tree. Source

Handle enumeration
This mechanism will enumerate all open handles on the machine and flag any game process handles. This is done to catch cheaters forcing their handles to have a certain level of access that is not normally obtainable, as the anti-cheat registers callbacks to prevent processes from gaining memory-modification rights of the game process. If a process is caught with an open handle to the game process, relevant info, such as level of access and process name, is sent to the game server:
