Make it extremely hard for script kiddie n00bs to make an AWHack 4.

Heh, it would be very good idea, even to show an error that the AW Browser
was edited, and isnt at the same correct size, and will not run :)

A determined person is impossible to stop -- they will find a way around this method.

I thought what they were doing was editing values in RAM.

Maybe AW could implement a system where they attempt to change the variables
that store these things and if they are unable to, or they are different to
what they should be... they close the browser.

Back when I was researching hex editing, I thought the #1 thing you
didn't want to do was make the software display an error window, since
it would be relatively easy to find that section in the code (unless it
was put in another area of the code altogether).

I've seen articles about game programmers who allowed cracked code or
unofficial patches to be put on a game, but the software didn't display
an error message. Instead, it would slowly "degrade" in some way, such
as the firing rate would keep slowing down and would eventually stop, or
parts of the screen would appear blurry so you couldn't see. Basically,
the software could find out if you were using a crack, and then made
your game buggy on purpose. :)

Kiddie n00bs? All you have to do is just ban the makers :P
