Anti cheating techniques are successful at first, then there is the circumvention, nothing is bullet proof however using certified hardware in an controlled enviroment is a good start.
For online gaming high stakes = high interested = much energy leading to:
a.) broad band solutions for common cheaters
b.) specialised expensive hand crafted cheats
History:
1.) Nvidia looking glas hack - driver version detector+screenshooter
2.) dummy OpenGL dll wrapper - file scanner+screenshooter
also solved rat auto fire.
3.) game engine hooking - game engine hooking detector - game engine hooking detector unloader - detector for this - special cheat drivers running top priority - special anti-cheat drivers running top priority
What I want to say:
Cheating has evolved and ever will. Console play perhaps is now free of cheating because the stakes are too low and the dangers are too high.
Raise the stakes, get a horde of chinese DRM hackers flipping bit by bit till the consoles break, have cheating enabled again.
guess for the future:
FPGA & DSP + CV enabled cheating - looping through the DVI/HDMI signal capturing at 50/60Hz 1080p (the grabbers for this res & freq. is affordable) automatic object recognition.
feeding in commands direct into the mouse and keyboard.
AntiCheat would be statistics & pattern based.
AntiCheat: for direct signal capturing: using 4k
Anti AntiCheat: splitt mirror or (two) cameras with an angle and polarized filters (->3D) and CV again lower res but who cares..
The evolution is about to start, again!
Irony:
I call the Google Car a cheater car
