I have a question about CrowdStrike and Linux. From what I gather is that works on a very low level on Windows. Does it work on such low level on Linux too? The reason I am asking is because the league of legend anti cheat also works on such low level on windows and that is the reason the game can not be played on Linux. From what I remember Linux doesn’t allow such low level access So how crowdStrike work on Linux?

I don’t know that software at all, but regarding Linux, we can have anything at any level once you give the admin access, a.k.a. “root” (e.g. binary files that are “attached” to the kernel for a purpose, like making a piece of hardware work.) so… Yes, probably it’s on a similarly low level.

To expand a little bit to your comparison, keep in mind that giving such root access and actually putting it to X or Y use are two different scenarios. That’s probably why LoL anti-cheat doesn’t work on Linux even if you were to run it as root. But, again, I’m quite ignorant on that technology too. Needles to say, there are games with anti-cheat technology that work on Linux (e.g. Steam VAC)

Yes I know there other games with anti cheat that are working. So it is seems that in theory League can run but doesn’t because a game should not have such low access.

Not if you harden the kernel

Linux has kernel modules which are kind of equivalent to Windows kernel drivers.

Anticheat is malware do not use it. It isn’t worth playing one game.
