1. How can I tell if I have a hacker.
2. How can I best guard against it
3. and how can I stop the cheats.
Sorry this may be repetitive but I need it explained for the simple minded
Thanks,
Well here are my opinions.
1.Usually there are cheats that obviously look when someones cheating for example in 1.6 when someone has aimbot you can see their screen shake and when they shoot it aims around the head area.Here is some hack sites well explained
http://wiki.counter-hack.net/CategoryCSHacks and here is when the cheating population started to form in the world of counter-strike
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheating_in_Counter-Strike .
2.Depending on what game you are running it would be best if you could get all the anti-cheating devices that are compatiable with one another.
For counter-strike 1.6 there are only a few anti-cheating devices
such as VAC 2 , hlguard, and C-D(Cheating death) .Cheating death is not compatible with VAC 2 I believe however I am not sure anymore but I do know that it has been discontinued as a project so I wouldn't use it.Hlguard and VAC 2 are the anti-cheating devices most servers have.
Also if you want a masterban list that also protects your server for 1.6 and source
http://www.steambans.com i's plugin is useful .
For source there is autoban,
http://www.steambans.com ,the anti-cheats in mani and beetlesmod,a good admin,and VAC 2 .
3.There is no way to actually stop cheaters from creating new hacks all the time.The way to get them out of your server is simply having all your anti-cheating systems updated,and a good active admin in your server just in case the anti-cheating systems do not catch a hack.
