Anti-cheat project

[sylvershark]

Hey there,

I'm trying to make an anti-cheat for Counter-Strike:Source for my clan league.

What it needs to do:

-People enter their username and password from the league website and program will check if account exists in the MYSQL database.

-Then it scans every 2 minutes or more, while playing, for some folders, if they exist it will remove them.

-Send logs with time/date to FTP server everytime a scan has been made so I can check if people did run the program while in a match. (estimated match time is 30minutes so if program scans once per 2 minutes thats 15logs/guy)

---

So people paste it in a folder (materials) and the script will scan for folders and delete them, example of this folder:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\sylvershark\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials

Problem 1: People have different folder names (SteamApps\SYLVERSHARK\....)

Solution: Let people enter their username

Problem 2: People will enter fake names

Solution ?

heLge- helped me a bit on this project, here is what I made yet, it ain't much but I do my best as beginner:

; Splits the string with the maps at the "|"-separator and puts it in an array
; $array[0] contains the number of maps in the array, and the following contains the mapnames
$array = StringSplit("de_dust|de_dust2|cs_office|de_prodigy", "|")

; Goes thru each element in the array, starting from 1 to the end
For $i = 1 To $array[0]
  ; Skips path if the path's attributes doesn't contain a D (as in Directory)
    If NOT StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($array[$i]), "D") Then ContinueLoop
   
  ; Checks that the path exists, and if so deletes the directory
    If FileExists($array[$i]) Then DirRemove($array[$i])
Next

Help would be more than welcome,

Thanks in advance !

You'd do better to search for a process then a file. Looking for files takes alot longer than looking for specific processes.

just my $0.02

I would probably understand a big part of the code as it is familiar to PHP.

Counter-Strike:Source offers the ability to customize your game by using other models for weapons,floors,players etc. , What people do to wallhack is customizing their walls and use a glass texture for it.

[fi3ldy]

$hldir = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam", "ModInstallPath") ;reads the half-life folder (steam/steamapps/account/half-life)

$csdir = StringReplace($hldir, "half-life", "counter-strike source\cstrike") ;replace half-life with counter-strike source, takes you to there currently logged on counter-strike source folder

Hope this helps.

Probably better to check for known folders/files at game startup and then check for processes while playing. Unfortunately, many hacks are hidden under common process names like pinnacle.exe or svhost.exe so it may be difficult to detect them. I guess you could always compare file sizes of the common processes to see if they are truly the correct files.

you would have to search threw every folder on there computer

not vary many people have there hacks in there steam directory

you should go download a hack and hack it up in a NONE vac scured server

you will learn alot. you CAN NOT get banned IF your in non vac server

now making a program to search for a hack might not be that hard

i would search threw configs or ini files, every hack has one

FileReadLine search for some of these keyCvars

// settings.CFG
Aimtimer=1
aimbot=1
aimkey=1
aimspot=3
aimthru=0
aimtime=10000
avdraw=0
