BlackCiph3r

BlackCiph3r is the Nexon's proprietary Anti-Cheat program that was fully implemented in the June Update. It replaced the older Hackshield Pro that was the previous Anti-Cheat program for Combat Arms.

Although it was fully implemented in June, the files for BlackCiph3r were seen in the game's folder as early as April.

History
Before BlackCiph3r was implemented, Ahnlab's Hackshield Pro was the current Anti-Cheat program that Nexon used to protect Combat Arms against hackers. However, it was proven time and time again, that it was ineffective at preventing hackers. It had many security flaws that allowed hackers to easily bypass the program.

Effectiveness
Although BlackCiph3r was able to stop hackers for about a week, hackers were able to bypass BlackCiph3r and again, created trouble in the game matches once again. Hackers proved that BlackCiph3r was almost as ineffective as the previous Hackshield Pro.
