Anti Cheat Groups

[RollingInTheHurt]

Hi all,

In games that have PunkBusters anti cheat, there is a number of self governing anti cheat groups such as PBBans, AntiCheatInc, GGC-Stream ect that provide support and assistance to server administrators on setting up their servers to stop cheaters.

Just wondering if there is any anti cheat groups for assisting server admins stop cheaters of VAC games?

Thanks :)

VAC does not have "admins". It is an automated system and does not rely on any sort of human intervention such as demos, spectating to watch suspected cheaters, or individual reports. It simply scans for known cheats when a person is connected to a VAC secured server.

What you said is true, but if VAC was sufficient enough there would be no need for programs such as ''Overwatch'' in games such as CSGO to stop cheaters.

That's not to say that servers can't augment with whatever other systems they like, including just individual based observation techniques, but as far as VAC there are no admins and none are needed. It functions perfectly well on its own, but of course no system can catch all of the cheaters - that's why it's best to have multiple types.

Thats what I am trying to find out.

As a sever owner running VAC or Source Games, what community provided anti cheat configs, bandlists, checks or plugins/mods are avalible to harden my server agianst cheaters?

Well, there is Overwatch, and Treyarch, but I don't know how one gets them on ones server, you would have to contact the people who run them. There are probably several others as well.

why are you so worried about cheaters? its not that big of a deal dude. you seem over protective, get some mods to run the server and your fine.

I am finding it very strange that there is no community of server admins that support/discuss anti cheat scripts, configs, banlists and mods/programs/plugins around VAC and Source games.

If you're an advocate of "once a cheater, always a cheater", you can use plugins to deny server access to any individual who happens to have a VAC ban, regardless of game (it's fetchable, otherwise, websites like vacbanned would not exist).

Otherwise, if you're running a source game, there exists SourceBans, which manages bans across multiple servers : I'm sure that, if you take some time to search, you'll find groups or publicly available banlists.

There may exist other 3rd party tools, but I may have missed them. I apologize in advance if this is not what you're looking for.

The thing is, VAC doesn't need assistance. It is on by default and has nothing to configure.

I'm pretty sure SourceBans has a server plugin that automatically bans cheaters immediately. But unless you're a server owner, that won't be much help.

^^^ This is the sort of thing I am looking for, anyone know of anymore?
Thanks for that! :)

I know that there are some plugins that auto-ban VAC-banned players. Then there's (as was previously mentioned) SourceBans. Other than that, I can say nothing more than what's already been said. VAC's automated and introducing human decision into it would be dangerous.
