What Tricks Do Games Use To Identify CHEATERS?

[@thirtyonefifty3133]

Games should just put cheaters with cheaters :D. that way the legit players are happy, and if cheaters want to play with legit people, they have to buy a new copy for a new account and force to play legit :D.

One thing I still don't understand is why most developers take this hard stance against discussing cheats in a sub-thread on their forums.

I hate the idea of anti-cheating software running on my computer. I'm not defending cheaters, but I don't think that I should be required to show a gaming company everything I am running on my computer just to be allowed to play. If you want to stop cheating, process the game on the server and don't trust anything a client sends except user input. As far as modified libraries go, just calculate a few MD5 hashes and verify that a client's game is unmodified before you let them play. The game server should never ask one player for the locations of other players, ever. If you're playing a multiplayer game and a hacker is capable of controlling other players' XYZ coordinates, you're playing a poorly coded game.

[@rompevuevitos222]

Most anti-cheat software only checks for specific programs or programs who are "hooked" to the game, but not really what you're running as a whole

[@SlickSloth]

You got so much stuff wrong here it's hurting me. First of all, not every anti-cheat system is intrusive and checks your whole pc. Then about the "user input": I'll take cs:go as an example here. When you use an aimbot the most common way for aimbots to work is to manipulate your mouse angle in the system memory to lock on to the enemy (pretty simpllified but I think you get what I mean). That is indistinguishable for the game client and the server and is therefore treated as "user input". About the location of other players: the game server doesn't ask for the location of other players but more so shares the other players location, because in order to be able to see somebody on your client your client needs info on where this other player is located. (referring to cs:go again) The client doesn't share that incoming location data with you directly but when a cheat (wallhack) is injected, that cheat will grab that location data and create kind of an overlay on the game, basically the cheats put on xray goggles for you. By that you can't only see other players but also "remove" the sight blocking entity of a wall. If you have any questions regarding cheats or anti-cheat systems, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

[@PinkShades]

​@@SlickSloth What exactly is wrong about what I said? Please quote me directly. Break apart each sentence you think is incorrect, and I'll happily agree or disagree with you, but I don't recall mentioning anything about aim bots or making the claim that *every* anti-cheat system is "intrusive".

A few other invaders and myself eventually whittled the enemies down and managed to kill the Host, but I’m pretty sure he was actually trying to give us a fair chance at winning. If he wanted to he could have easily had infinite poise or just taken no damage at all.

I used to be a server admin for a clan in Counter Strike Source. Part of the "job" is that we would have to observe players suspected of cheating, usually this meant someone within the server messaged an admin to join if one was not already present. Once we determined if they were in fact cheating we would issue a temp ban and then send footage to our own anti cheat website where higher up members would review it. Often times a cheat in that game was hard to detect, and the process was a manual time consuming nightmare. However, there sometimes were really obvious wall hackers that could trace a guy running through another room before shooting him in a doorway.

I once met a cheater on Dying Light The Following. (This was around the time Dying Light was still mildly popular) The person never said anything the entire play session. For most of the session I followed him around in my buggy and eventually this turned into a bit of a race without a defined finish area. I eventually passed him, and when I did he stopped dead in his tracks and didn’t move a muscle for a solid minute. I then when over to him to investigate. I hoped out of my vehicle and the second I was able to move my character my buggy’s marker went from 1m to 9999m. My buggy was moved so far away that the map could no longer register its marker. A minute later this person started driving again. So I ran my way back to a safe house and respond my vehicle and started racing this guy again. This happened three times in this game. I eventually got bored of racing and went off to go chop up some zombies. Around this time it was starting to get dark and I had zombie invasion set to happen at night, and lone behold a person decides to invade my game. This hacker then turned it to day and which messed with the game making it so the night hunter was seen as a regular player. He could now no longer attack me, could kill zombies that were now hostile to him and go into safe zones without being harmed. Even though there are no emotes in this game I could tell that this invader was greatly confused in his current situation. Another hour passed and this hacker finally left my game and disappeared off the face of the earth. (I looked up his gamer tag afterwards and it said that there was no one with his gamer tag. I also asked the night hunter in that game if he knew the person and he said that he had no clue who this person was.)

[@MrChronickills]

I was a cheater before on Arma 2 DayZ mod, pretty big server at the time too. I was a person who was bored all the time and wanted to troll my friends. Eventually I ran into other cheaters and realized what I was doing was wrong. I ended up going to server admins that had no idea and telling them about my cheats and the cheaters I found. Turns out they didn't have the powers to detect stuff like invisible people and such but my cheats could. I ended up working with them as an admin who uses cheats to find cheaters. Ever since then I have been set on finding ways to detect and prevent cheaters in games I play without needing the need for cheats. Though if it is a single player game I still use cheats every now and then because I don't feel bad because I am not making it less fun for anyone else.

[@ethans6539]

Yeah imma be honest I cheated in GTA V online bc literally everything millions of dollars and they where just trying to force players to buy money with micro transactions

[@theotherone9843]

The only experience I've had with a cheater is when I was playing team fortress 2 on the orange box on the Xbox 360. What happened is that I clicked on a 2 fort map and when it loaded in I was on a different strange map with 4 random piles in one corners a bunch of ammo and health kits in one a wall of contest point separating two of the corners and I think some small stairs and a ramp, I could also kill teammates which was also strange. This may have been the game glitching out and loaded a testing place bit I don't know and don't think I'll ever know.

[@rompevuevitos222]

That can be easily done by using commands, wonder how they did it on a Xbox tho. Not cheating, just modding They probably hosted the server on a PC and made it appear on the Xbox server list

[@Tucher97]

here is an idea, instead of banning cheaters, why not force htem to buy the game again inorder to play, they have to pay full price with everything resetted and they get a special name plate that indicates cheater, any DLC they own the person has to rebuy

[@PinkShades]

That's essentially what they do. They call them sequels and remasters.

[@Tucher97]

that is a great idea as I was mostly thinking of a way of "how can I put more money in my pockets" my idea is to lift the ban you must buy the game at full price, you have to buy everything again and work for everything again, but you are banned from leader boards however that we wont tell the cheaters mind you that is better than my other idea of "if you cheat you get blocked off from various content" such as like oh this special cosmetic or complete the story mode on the most ball buster difficulty which we warned you for not doign but we didnt think anyone do it, thus you get a blood stained cosmetic or some other special cosmetic

[@roid1510]

Tucher97 but, cheaters dont care... example csgo. Cheaters buy different accounts to cheat on and when they get banned they just rebuy everything This only works on games that cose 60 bucks and that price range isnt common anymore on onle competitive games.

[@Tucher97]

and again, more money in my pockets, of course their actions won't count in the competitive league yet still some leagues are very very very toxic

[@Tucher97]

Or have it were the cheaters get a stealth kick in the balls, where if they are caught cheating they are not told they were caught but instead make the gameplay infuriating for them and send them a false patch where it fucks them up in a way that makes hte game difficult for them and if they go on forums then it can say "hey I cheated"

[@EmitRelevart]

I'll never understand the psychology of cheating. When you don't win on your own merits, you haven't really won. So what is the personal benefit? Everything you have in the game was not earned by you (so there can't be a feeling of accomplishment or success - unless these people actually delude themselves into believing otherwise).

Let the Devs and their helpers sort it out. If player isn't cheating... No harm no foul. You can also "block" a player which will prevent you from playing in a lobby against that gamertag again.

Me and my friend wanted to go down memory lane a little so we busted out BO2. We got into a game and it was a hacked lobby. But it was the kind of hacker that everybody likes. He gave super speed and high fire rate to both teams. Me and my friend just ran around with combat knives and it was hilarious.

[@joelmontoya4872]

There was one time I loved the way they hacked gta 4 when playing online. Me and a cousin happened into a hacked lobby, where they made your health go down super slowly!

[@MagnumSkyWolf]

I sort of cheated in MW2. Back when MW2 first got properly hacked you had to be the host of the match to have a mod menu which had over 20 plus hacks including the ability to give the menu to another player. After a week I noticed ever single match was full of aimbotters with god mode or flying around the map. So I started looking into how it was done and found out about you had to be host. Not only that I found where to download the hacks and how to install them on the PS3. The reason I did it was for one hack only *force host*. This would make me host of every match resulting in a clean game with zero hackers. The only problem with that is I could have been banned but I loved and was so addicted to MW2 I didn't care. Other players with hacks could see I was host and asked me to leave through pm or on mic and I would tell them hack somewhere else. The amount of abuse I would get was crazy constantly harassing me over and over. Some weren't even kids it was fucking hilarious.

[@bruinwinters7085]

The league client is scanning your whole program memory for different keywords. Try googling for "Cheat Engine"(so it shows up as the tab title) and then start a league game. After 30 secs your game will crash :) I dont know how much "scanning" is allowed by government or it is just a moral decision. Something that is really critical in my opinion.

I've encountered a cheater in World of Warcraft about 8 years ago. He was flying under the ground and picking up every mineral nodes and herbs on the way. I was on my priest character and used Mind Vision spell on him - which allows you to see through target's eyes - watched him for ~10 minutes and took a bunch of screenshots. Then reported him to GM. Response was very surprising: I haven't saved exact copy of GM's message, but, basically, GM was scolding me for being a "snitch"; that I should've been more forgiving and understanding, because the cheater may had his account hacked and it "was not him" doing the cheating, it were those evil hackers; that Blizzard has more than enough technical capabilities to deal with cheaters. etc. Go figure.

[@ReccquiemBST]

Once upon a time, you could cheat in your games. Now if you cheat, you are labeled a hacker. And that is your history lesson for today.

[@pixifee5008]

If you are running a game in a virtual machine and use memory observing and screen manipulation from outside, it cannot be detected by any anti-cheat software running on the virtual machine. You could only analyze suspicious behaviour like shooting on a target which the player is not supposed to see or try to fool the tools with honeypot and red herring methods or memory encryption which requires a runtime-intensive decryption, but you really cannot stop cheaters this way, because it is hard to keep them apart from legitimate players.

Way back when, i used to play World of Warcraft. This was the old version, before all the DLC and expansion packs. Well, i took 2 weeks off of work to do some heavy grinding, and apparently my rapid level rise triggered some kind of 'auto cheat detection' and i was banned. I was banned for using 'leveling bots'. No amount of trying to contact Blizzard's support team worked. Most enraging part? even though they had banned me, they still tried to take my subscription fee out the next time it was due.

I was playing casual Rainbow Six Siege and there was a person who shot me through a barricaded wall. I wasn't identified and he couldn't have seen my feet. I called him out on it and he was like "sorry, don't report me, I'll turn it off". Of course I reported him right away.

[@nyxmoonveil025]

Crossfire is a known game in my area and the only anti cheat system there is a kick vote system whereas the other team can wait for the last second to kick the darn bastards so that they'd win. It's easy to spot a cheater though. Seemingly looking past walls, too brave to check corners (though the person may just be a noobie), super consistent with recoil control and headshot aim and in some cases they can fly, submerge to the ground, become invulnerable by having their characters use death animations (we call those dolphins. XD) as well as shooting through every wall from across the map. Children seem to see it as a cool thing here and some adults use cheats as well. No permabans and it's so easy to make new accounts. It's a joy for me to take down a cheater and be called one instead but sometimes they just toggle all and our whole team can't do a thing about it. I hope my comment gives some entertainment, cya!

[@bierdigan]

I used to play a lot of cod black ops 3 and by the time infinite warfare came out black ops 3 was full of cheaters. You'd enter a match and hear the notification sound for killstreaks end-to-end until the match ended and people would be throwing the high cost killstreaks out within the first seconds of the match and up until the last. It sucked the fun out of the experience pretty quickly.

[@johnsoutherland3459]

The issue I have is with certain games that have different responses to exposed cheaters depending on how much money the cheaters spend in the game. (Cough WoT..cough). A cheater who only uses a cheat once who strictly plays as a free players gets permanently banned, while a clan\alliance that all use it regularly but also spend thousands a month on in game transactions get a one week suspension.

[@ThePhoenixScribe]

It's about the competition character of many games that basically begs cheaters to do their thing. When it's not about stomping players who're better than you, the game may be plain boring and the cheater goes ahead and makes it worth their time.

Quake 4 had a CTF hack that pissed me off entirely too much.

It took 8 players to pull it off in each round and I couldn't stand how many there where

[@ericlanglois9194]

I remember in Ultima Online years ago, there was an item duplication cheat or exploit going around and when Origin found out (which was done by creating a program to identify items with identical id numbers), they deleted every single item with that id number, regardless of wether it was purchased legitimately or not, then promptly banned and deleted the account of the person that created the duplicates. I'm sure other MMORPG's have had similar issues as they tend to be hotbeds of duplication cheats just like MMOFPS's having aimbots.

I found some people who were using obvious aimbot on my team, decided to enable a voice changer and set my pitch really high so that it annoyed them, they decided to change the team I was on, but it tripped a suspicious activity flag and a bot found them hacking so it banned them. I'd like to thank our bot overlords for banning these hackers.

[@hmad898]

I play on pc and contrary to popular belief there’s not many cheaters on pc, I think I’ve met one person who was using cheats to get an actual competitive advantage. All the others (which sadly aren’t many because I love when people do this) are from dark souls games where people will use cheats/mods to make their character look a certain way (fit smough is one) or i remember one time I was watching a video and this guy turned himself into a UFO on dark souls 3, it’s glorious.
