Stupid Noob Hackers!

[zeekgenateer]

Not always true. I could've gotten hacks for some of the games I play, but I thinks hacks just suck. If you need hacks to do well then you must be terrible at the game and it's so fun taking down hackers without hacks because they have no idea how you just utterly destroyed them and the only reason they can think of is that you also hack.

Well yeah that's true, only people who can't play use hacks, and those who can play and still use hacks those are the real 100% fresh n00bs!
I mean i don't care about using hacks beacuse im good without them since many people call me hacker why should i hack? FUn to crack the hackers by knifing them or something in that way :P

The only anti-cheat ive really appreciated was VAC for steam...but anyways isnt there a hacking program that people can send to your computer ingame..and what it does is it takes like some type of data for when u type on your computer...idk something like that...watches or rather studies your typing

*That sounds like a keylogger to me. Keyloggers record every keystroke, which could be passwords, websites, IM chat logs, (etc.). However I don't think that can be sent serverside. The only thing I think they could do would be able to, maybe sniff the packets your sending through and the packets of the other players in the server.

Keyloggers can't be sent server side, I do not think.

How can it be server-side?...

1) Kernel based: This method is most difficult both to write, and combat. Such keyloggers reside at the kernel level and are thus practically invisible. They almost always subvert the OS kernel and gain unauthorized access to the hardware which makes them very powerful. A keylogger using this method can act as a keyboard driver for example, and thus gain access to any information typed on the keyboard as it goes to the Operating System.

2) Hook based: Such keyloggers hook the keyboard with functions provided by the OS. The OS warns them any time a key is pressed and it records it.

3) Creative Methods: Here the coder uses functions like GetAsyncKeyState, GetForegroundWindow, etc. These are the easiest to write, but as they require polling the state of each key several times per second, they can cause a noticeable increase in CPU usage and can miss the occasional key.
