The plan to control what a persistent cheater does to their own device is more than 5 decades of straight failures.

Just one more client anti-cheat measure bro. Just one ring lower bro.

I'm not sure what I find more terrifying: the persistence of the NSA & Disney lobby for subverting root control in all devices, or that so many people mindlessly agree its the right direction to go and their world will be a better place for it.




Honest question, since I know nothing about anti cheat development.

Is it really feasible to detect cheats that are not simply "insta lock aim to some player" on the server side only ?

Scripting, or Wallhacks, or cheats like these would be impossible to detect automatically and reliably ?

(Without something like CSGO's Overwatch where players rate anonymized replays of potential cheaters)
