An HWID ban is the worst-case scenario for a cheater: even changing your Steam account doesn't help, since the anti-cheat system records unique identifiers of your hardware — HDD/SSD serial numbers, NIC MAC address, CPU and motherboard serial numbers. The next account gets a shadow ban within hours of the first login. The CherryHacks HWID Spoofer is the only reliable solution for bypassing hardware bans in Valorant, EFT, Rust, Apex Legends and dozens of other games.

Our spoofer operates at OS kernel level, replacing identifiers before Vanguard and EAC anti-cheat drivers start. Both temporary (session-only) and permanent serial replacement are supported.

How HWID Bans Work & What Our Spoofer Replaces

Every component of your PC has a unique serial number that anti-cheat reads on startup:

HDD/SSD Serial: primary identifier in most systems.
NIC MAC Address: network card address — banned separately in some games.
CPU Serial: used by Vanguard and some EAC versions.
Motherboard Serial / BIOS UUID: secondary HWID ban layer in Valorant.
GPU Device ID: used in rare cases for profiling.

CherryHacks Spoofer replaces all listed identifiers with randomly-generated valid values through a kernel driver — without flashing hardware firmware.

Supported Games & Ban Types

Valorant (Vanguard) — full HWID bypass
Escape from Tarkov (BattlEye) — all serials
Rust (EAC) — HDD + NIC + CPU
Apex Legends (EAC) — full set
PUBG (BattlEye) — full set
Fortnite (Ricochet/EAC) — HDD + MAC

Our spoofer is included by default in most CherryHacks cheat packages. Separate subscription available for games not in the main catalog.
