Cone of Fire hack is undetectable, and you can tell that many people use it. Jump hack is undetectable, and if you use it conservatively, you won't get caught. Capacitor hack is also undetectable. The only really detectable one right now is the teleport hack.

Its not undetectable if the devs are looking at it, there was a big patch in the first year that was brought out in response to a spate of "speed hacking" where players were moving and firing at rediculous speeds. When that patch came out they introduced a logging system that when a player was reported it logged everything they did, all their movements and flagged them for monitoring by CSR reps, they can see it as long as the other player see it.
With regards to spotting them.. the max capacitor hack might be difficult but if its used to such an extent as to make it unfair then it becomes obvious.
The CoF hack is obvious.. i can spot someone using it for example when crouched and firing in bursts using a medium assault rifle and someone on the otehr team is moving and firing in full auto and still is more accurate than me, in regards to the forced innacuracy through the CoF.
Once someone is caught by a player they will most likely get banned, problem is they have to wade through large numbers of reports generated by bad losers who dont believe anyone can beat them. Other problem is they can then make a new account for free and carry on doing it.
