Facts

Purpose: Cheat Engine for Linux is a native C++20/Qt6 memory scanner, debugger, disassembler, and trainer toolkit.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Project status: The README describes the project as young and immature, at v0.9.0, with bugs, rough edges, and missing features.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Intended use: The project is built for single-player games, reverse engineering, and learning.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Scanning: Scanning supports multiple value types and comparisons, region filters, multithreaded disk-backed scans, and pointer scanning.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Debugger: Debugger features include hardware and software breakpoints, watchpoints, conditional breakpoints, single-stepping, and break-and-trace.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Cheat Engine compatibility: The application reads and writes Cheat Engine .CT tables and supports a broad Cheat Engine-compatible Lua API.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Remote tools: The platform features include ceserver and GDB-remote clients for remote or cross-device debugging.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Downloads: The README says prebuilt .deb and AppImage packages are attached to each release.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Linux privileges: Attaching with ptrace requires elevated privileges or a permissive ptrace_scope; the installed .deb and AppImage set cap_sys_ptrace so root is not required.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Security: The README says .CETRAINER loads are size-capped, Lua breakpoint conditions are sandboxed and execution-bounded, and shellExecute and unsafe file-write functions are default-denied.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Optional kernel helper: The optional kernel helper exposes explicit CAP_SYS_ADMIN-gated ioctls and does not hide modules, files, or sockets.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Support: The README asks users to report issues, which it says drive the project forward.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
License: The repository identifies the project license as MIT.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Release version: The releases page lists v0.8.0 as its latest release.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Memory scanning: Its scanner supports numeric, string, byte-pattern, binary, grouped, and custom-Lua scans, plus pointer scanning and disk-backed scans for large targets.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Editing and debugging: Features include typed memory edits, freeze modes, hardware and software breakpoints, watchpoints, single-stepping, tracing, and register and stack views.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Unity tools: A Mono dissector browses runtime class and field layouts, and IL2CPP targets are detected.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Remote debugging: The platform features include ceserver and GDB-remote clients for remote or cross-device debugging.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Kernel helper: An optional kernel helper uses CAP_SYS_ADMIN-gated ioctls through /dev/cecore, according to the README.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
Maturity and scope: The project describes itself as early and immature, with bugs and missing features, and says it is intended for single-player games, reverse engineering, and learning rather than defeating multiplayer anti-cheat.github.com · 3 Oct 2026
