MARCUS Anti-Cheat is a dual-layer security system developed for Metin2 servers and designed against modern cheating threats. By combining a user-mode DLL with a kernel-supported driver architecture, MARCUS aims not only to detect cheats but also, where possible, to prevent cheat tools from interfering with the game process.
The main purpose of MARCUS is to provide server owners with a safer, more controlled, and more professional game environment. The system brings together multiple protection layers such as process scanning, DLL injection control, memory access protection, HWID tracking, macro/bot behavior analysis, license validation, and live logging.
Unlike standard user-mode anti-cheat solutions, MARCUS includes additional kernel-level protection mechanisms that can restrict unauthorized access attempts against the game process. This creates a stronger defensive layer against threats such as Cheat Engine, process manipulation tools, DLL injection attempts, memory editing, and known bot/macro software.
MARCUS is not just a cheat scanner. It is a complete anti-cheat platform built for commercial use, including an admin panel, license system, HWID management, live detection logs, and customer-based configuration support.
In short, MARCUS was developed to protect fair gameplay on Metin2 servers, reduce cheat usage, and provide server owners with a technically stronger security infrastructure.
