GuardingPear Anti-Cheat
Münster, Germany
What it is
GuardingPear Anti-Cheat is a Unity asset intended to protect games from cheating and data, memory, or time manipulation. Its AntiCheat-Monitor prefab coordinates protection, monitoring, detection, and punishment. Protected replacements for Unity types such as integers, floats, strings, vectors, and lists are meant to frustrate memory scans; ProtectedPlayerPrefs encrypts stored values and checks for tampering. Protected Time detects speed hacks and clock skew, using a trusted system-tick clock if it detects an attack. Android checks can validate installation source, app hash, signing certificate fingerprint, and native libraries, and check for known cheat apps; iOS includes jailbreak detection. Protected Input rate-limits mouse, keyboard, gamepad, and touch presses, with a default of 10 clicks per second. The maker describes the APIs as drop-in Unity replacements and says the monitor can be added through the Inspector without code. The feature page lists Unity 2021.3 and later, IL2CPP and Mono, and protected features for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, WebGL, and consoles. The Pro asset is a one-time purchase for $34.99. Desktop guidance notes it cannot block tools that attach before game scripts run.
