STATIC LABS LLC KUBIAN INTEGRITY AC + RTEP
Best Meta Quest Anti-Cheat
Meta Quest headsets are Android-based standalone multiplayer devices — and the cheat tooling targeting them now operates below the game. Kubian Integrity Anti-Cheat verifies the headset and the binary with hardware attestation, then RTEP (Realtime Environment Protection) watches the live process for Frida, injection, root, debuggers and hooking.
- Meta attestation-root verification (separate toggle from Google roots) — stock Quest vs rooted Quest is decided by the hardware chain, not client claims.
- App verification: installed binary
SHA-256+package IDmust match what you registered. - RTEP while playing: 11 checks, each set to
alert / kick / ban. Defaults banroot_hard+widevine_hook, kick soft-root/debugger/Frida signals. - Server-side Device Ban API + Unity SDK. Single-use challenge (120s) and integrity tokens — replays fail.
Why Quest cheating is different
On standalone VR there is no kernel anti-cheat like on PC, and gameplay-stat detection only catches blatant cheaters. Static Labs documents the current class in SAVR-2026-000001: rootkit-class tooling that escalates a local user into OS-privileged context, then runs Frida instrumentation, runtime dumping and function hooking beneath the game process. In-game checks never see it. Unless you verify device integrity independently at connect, a rooted headset looks identical to a legit one.
How Kubian Integrity works on Quest
- Challenge: your server mints a single-use challenge token for the connecting headset.
- Attest: the headset produces a hardware attestation chain rooted at Meta (Facebook) roots, plus app identity.
- Verify: Kubian validates the X.509 chain, security level (TEE/StrongBox where available), verified-boot state, bootloader lock, OS patch level, revocation (Google CRL serial check where applicable), and app digest/package.
- Enforce: pass = play; fail = verdict (
DEVICE_INTEGRITY_STANDARDS_UNMET,APP_INTEGRITY_STANDARDS_UNMET, etc.) logged to offender logs; active device bans stay out.

RTEP: what is monitored while playing
frida/frida_behavioral/frida_module/frida_memfd— instrumentation and in-memory payloadsinjection— foreign code in the game processroot_hard/root_soft— hard vs soft root signals (default: hard = ban, soft = kick)debugger/antidebug— tracer / anti-analysis tamperingheadlock_abuse— headset-specific abuse primitivewidevine_hook— media-pipeline hooking (default: ban)
Each maps to alert (review only), kick (drop session), ban (server device ban + kick). Mid-session ban polls surface as REALTIME_BANNED_WHILE_PLAYING.
Kubian vs alternatives for Quest
| Approach | Quest fit | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Kubian Integrity + RTEP | Meta roots, Quest OS states, Unity SDK, ban API | Requires SDK + server verify call |
| Play Integrity API | Phone-oriented; Quest coverage is incidental | No Meta-root policy, no RTEP kick/ban loop |
| Easy Anti-Cheat / PC AC ports | Not built for Quest standalone OS | Kernel model doesn't transfer; no headset attestation |
| In-house stat checks | Catches rage cheats | Quiet hook/dump cheats leave no gameplay footprint |
Unity integration (typical)
get-challenge-token → attest → get-integrity-token → verify_token → enforce ban/kick. Tokens are single-use; consumed challenges return CHALLENGE_TOKEN_ALREADY_CONSUMED so captures can't be replayed. See docs and live partners at /partners.
FAQ
What is the best Meta Quest anti-cheat in 2026?
For standalone Quest multiplayer, a hardware-attested one: Kubian Integrity Anti-Cheat + RTEP by Static Labs LLC — Meta-root verification, binary checks, 11 realtime checks, device bans, Unity support.
What is RTEP?
Realtime Environment Protection — the in-session half of Kubian Integrity AC. Not a scan at login; continuous alert/kick/ban policy while playing.
Quest 2 vs 3 vs 3S?
All run the same attestation flow; policy (security tier, patch floor, issuer allow-list) is per-project in API settings, so you can be stricter on competitive titles.
Is Kubian Kubernetes?
No. Unrelated to Kubernetes, CodiePP/kubian, or Kubotan. "Kubian" here is only Kubian Integrity Anti-Cheat / Kubian Integrity AC / Kubian Security / Kubian Integrity by Static Labs LLC.
