I suppose it takes screenshots of steamchats, that is not ok.

You mean all the cheaters can avoid that server?

He should atleast force a tag into sv_tags when this plugin is
installed so i can avoid all those servers

Like i said you wouldn't even care if you didn't know about such
feature
existed on this plugin. Anakin isn't some mojo from backalley who tries
to
exploit everyone. Plugin takes screenshots that reveal cheaters.
Nothing
else. Granted, you don't know that for sure as it isn't open source but
that's what it does.
I¨'m all in for extra tools to get cheaters out as we ban more cheaters
than
VAC catches (if we look back 2 months after ban was issued by us, VAC
doesn't get nearly all of them). I'm even helping with reporting every
single cheater through Steamcommunity because i know it also helps.

The difference is that it's common knowledge that punkbuster takes
screenshots, whereas it is done in some obscure and hidden way in
anakins plugin, i really hope these exploits are going to be fixed

I know what it does and i'm fine with it. Open Source isn't always
best
solution especially on anticheat systems as cheat developers can see
what
it
does and do countermeasures. I'm also pretty sure Valve will do
something
that kills the screenshot feature as they did long ago to server
plugins
that were able to execute commands on clients.

(I added hlds to the To list as well, since this affects both
Windows
and
Linux servers)
The problem is that it appears to be running client commands that
the
server isn't supposed to have access to. AND uploading files from a
client's machine back to the server. AND sending them to the author
of
the
plugin; you did catch that part, right?
The plugin's author won't even send the source code to the admins of
ETF2L, let alone anyone else. Which means, unless you decompile it,
you
have no idea what it's doing. Heck, even if you DO decompile it,
you
may
have no idea what it's doing... decompilation isn't exactly the
easiest
thing to read.
So... you have Security by Obscurity that is itself bypassing the
game
client's security.

Presumably it's all there in the SDK and i have to say it's an

on
VAC as
extra proof of cheating.
No one wouldn't even be alarmed if they didn't know such feature
exists
on this plugin or on the server they play on. I tested this
yesterday
and
already got 1 cheater caught. Besides, it only takes screenshots.
No
desktop
shots, just ingame footage.

What the hell? Servers can tell the client to take screenshots
*and*
tell them to upload them to the server? Whatever happened about
privacy?

This is absolutely brilliant, great job! Now just imagine having
something like Greenlight to go through those...
I'm not even going to bother asking you to open source it but
please,
at least consider releasing a stable version with that doesn't
open
connection (no auto-update or reports to you or anywhere else, no
offense) and has no undocumented features (now or later). I'd
really
like to use this, we should have had this long ago.

Hi,
As Valve is too lazy to do anything about hacks, I started
working
back in January on a plugin that can detect:
- POTENTIAL triggerbotters
- Prediction hacks (crit hacks/no spread hacks)
- An anti-speedhack bypass exploit
Triggerbots:
To make it clear as some people I gave it to didn’t understand,
the
detection is kind of “heuristic” (I won’t explain in detail, if
I
do
then the cheat coders will bypass it in no time), so it’s not
because
someone got detected that he is surely cheating. It’s just a
tool
to
help you find people that can potentially cheat and you can just
check
the STV demos then to confirm that they cheat or not.
The most detections for a single person in the less timespan you
will
find in the log, the more likely he is using a triggerbot.
Prediction hacks:
I guess this is what will interest most people on this list, it
detects the crit hacks that does 100% crits all the time which
is
an
engine exploit which has been added into
