# IW4MAdmin Anticheat
|
|
**Initial document draft | 8.30.19**
|
|
|
|
**IW4MAdmin** anticheat for IW4x uses data from in-game logs to track player locations, hit locations, and view angles
|
|
to validate against a known set of play styles.
|
|
Every hit event ocurring in the game (Damage or Kill from a gun) is captured by IW4MAdmin and analyzed.
|
|
**Session analysis** occurs against all hit events since the player connected to the server.
|
|
**Lifetime analysis** occurs against all hit events ever occuring for a given player.
|
|
## Detection Types
|
|
### Bone
|
|
Compares the number of times a particular bone is hit against the number of hits on all other bones.
|
|
Many rudimentary aimbots lock onto a particular player bone position such as _Head_, or _Upper Torso_.
|
|
This detection method has the highest chance of a false positive, as non-cheaters can play abnormally
|
|
(e.g. going for headshots, or using a weapon that unconciously changes their playstyle)
|
|
|
|
#### Hit Location Reference
|
|
| Number | Hit Location |
|
|
|--------|-----------------|
|
|
| 2 | Head |
|
|
| 3 | Neck |
|
|
| 4 | Upper Torso |
|
|
| 5 | Lower Torso |
|
|
| 6 | Upper Right Arm |
|
|
| 7 | Upper Left Arm |
|
|
| 8 | Lower Right Arm |
|
|
| 9 | Lower Left Arm |
|
|
| 10 | Right Hand |
|
|
| 11 | Left Hand |
|
|
| 12 | Upper Right Leg |
|
|
| 13 | Upper Left Leg |
|
|
| 14 | Lower Right Leg |
|
|
| 15 | Right Foot |
|
|
| 16 | Left Foot |
|
|
### Chest
|
|
Identical to *Bone* detection, except it specifically compares the ratio of Upper Torso / Lower Torso hit counts.
|
|
It can be thought of as a focused bone detection type, as most aimbots don't aim to unusual bones such as a foot.
|
|
As with *Bone* detection, this is prone to false positives.
|
|
### Offset
|
|
Compares the player angles from three snapshots. The first snapshot being the snapshot immediately before the server registered the hit for a player.
|
|
The second snapshot is the "frame" the server registered the kill. The final snapshot is the snapshot immediately after the server registers the hit.
|
|
The algorithm is:
|
|
```
|
|
let a = first snapshot angles
|
|
let b = second snapshot angles
|
|
let c = third snapshot angles
|
|
offset = ((a - b) + (c - b)) - (a-c)
|
|
```
|
|
This detection method is very effective at detecting silent aimbots.
|
|
Silent aimbots "fake" a shot by changing a player's view angles for a single snapshot. From a spectator's position, the single snapshot view angle altering is not visible.
|
|
The larger "FOV" (field of view) from a silent aimbot, the more absolute difference between the three snapshots.
|
|
Over time if the average distance between these two viewangles is higher than expected, a detection is triggered.
|
|
False positives are very rare with this detection. However, extreme client lag can trigger a false positive in special situations.
|
|
### Strain
|
|
Analyzes the frequency, viewangle distance, and player distance between hits.
|
|
The algorithm is:
|
|
```
|
|
let v = view angle distance between two hits
|
|
let t = delta time (time between hits)
|
|
let d = distance between the attacker and victim
|
|
let s = decay over time
|
|
strain = ((v / t) * d)^s
|
|
```
|
|
A high value indicates fast target switching at large distance intervals, which if done naturally, requires an extreme level of mechanical effort.
|
|
"Rage" aimbots commonly switch to targets as fast as possible in any direction.
|
|
### Recoil
|
|
Compares the average of the last few snapshots of player angles to 0. Client sided no recoil prevents the view angle "Z" axis from changing.
|
|
If the average view angle "Z" axis value remains 0, the detection is triggered.
|
|
As of 8.30.19, there are no known false positives for this detection.
|
|
Several weapons which do not have any recoil from the game are excluded in this detection.
|
|
### Format
|
|
Detection penalty reasons are as follow:
|
|
<_detectionType_>-<_location/value_>@<_hitCount_>
|
|
Example:
|
|
- detectionType = Strain
|
|
- value = 1.39
|
|
- hitCount = 136
|
|
|
|
Result: **Strain-1.39@136**
