What it is

STOVE PC Security SDK is a paid SDK for protecting Windows game applications from tampering and hacking attempts. It checks executable and DLL integrity, monitors kernel drivers, and uses security traps, anti-debugging, and code obfuscation to protect key memory data. Additional monitoring can detect forced DLL detachment or damage, attempts to stop or unload the kernel-mode driver, and macro or automation activity. Macro detection sends mouse, keyboard, and touch input data to a server for analysis. The SDK supports Windows 8.1 or later and lists Unreal Engine 4 and Unity as supported environments. Integration options cover Windows Native, Unreal Engine, and Unity3D, with required game-server REST API integration for sending integrity data. A dashboard displays detection logs and integrity data, retained by default for up to one month. CDN Live Updates support Lazy Update and Configure Update without an app update. Pricing is available on request.
