It's not really a defense, but, I haven't slept in 40-50 hours so I'm sort of starting to hallucinate. I should probably sleep. But I can't until a friend drops off his old graphics card at my house today at 4, or else I will sleep through it. Dammit.
Stateful packet inspection...shouldn't they have already been doing that for years, at least for the game servers? I mean, I know, "nexon", but wouldn't that be like the first thing they try in order to stop packet editing? Before going through the long and arduous process of repeatedly trying to make their game less client side, and failing miserably every time? I realize their servers would be under a ton more stress because of it, but at this point (more like, around the time cubes were released...) they should have been able to afford some servers that move quickly enough to process all of that extra data.
I guess it's possible that they are JUST NOW adding it, but have there been any reports of hacks no longer working since the patch last week? I don't keep track of that kind of thing, though I probably should. I know people are still BEING hacked, but that would be using a different "door" I'd assume.
