§01 what a hardware ban is
anti-cheats don't ban accounts. they ban machines. when a ban lands, the anti-cheat writes down the fingerprint of the computer it was playing on — drive serials, motherboard and bios strings, memory module serials, network card addresses, the firmware tpm identity, windows machine ids. that fingerprint is the ban. a new account on the same machine is gone in hours: the account was never the problem.
§02 what a spoofer does
a spoofer rewrites that fingerprint. the machine keeps running exactly as before, but every identifier the ban was written against now reports something new. done correctly, the anti-cheat reads a machine it has never met. done incorrectly — in userland, at the registry layer — it reads the old machine wearing a mask, and the ban lands again.
§03 what we do differently
moonwater works at kernel level, where the identifiers actually live. one press rewrites six layers — disk, board, network, tpm, system, traces — and seals them. it's a full spoof, on demand: run it whenever you want, and nothing is left running in the background afterward. no windows reinstall, no bios flash, no bsod — your machine is never at risk. there is nothing to remember, and nothing to relaunch before a match.
§04 what it never does
it does not unban accounts — account bans stay. it does not touch the game: no injection, no modified files, nothing for a scan to find. it does not keep logs, telemetry or history of any kind. it does one thing: the machine the ban knew no longer exists.
