CRC32 when done right isn't as easily faked as you might think. Eg. In my one program all cheat communication between the server and the client is RC2 encrypted and the checksums SHA256 hashed. So, say you "trick" the CRC32, you still then have to break the RC2 encryption key that the server and ...
