I was reading about reviewing demo&#39;s and I thought I would share a few things with you.<br />Now when I first started way back when I tried a few hax,wall hack aimbot blah blah blah.<br />Then,when I had my own servers,I got into researching the hacks for download around the various hack sites,and I would run them in non steam mode to check them out,most of them work but there where few that werent troublesome and even bothersome and some that were just way overcomplicated.The most commonly used is generally the simple wallhack&quot;my opinion&quot;<br />With the new vac 2 the actuall steam ban may not take place for a detected hack for up to 60 days&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />My 3rd season with cal as an admin I volunteered for the anti cheat department,I even beta tested the actual cal anti cheat module,On my public server,which was only moderately effective at best,it only detected about half of the most common available downloads.How ever the tried and true method of anti cheat was to watch a demo off line with a preset hack running.mostly wallhack.<br /><br />Rule one:if you loose your steam id to a ban cal will not help you at all.<br /><br />The anti cheat gig was tuff to say the least.Hours off watching demos,reporting back,handeling claims from players and teams and reporting back to the senior admin,whom was a dick,and didnt have the balls to ban certain repeat players that several admins had voted positive for cheating.<br /><br />The biggest concern is telling the difference between and actual hack or ventrillo ghosting from the last player positon. In other words,player one gets wacked at long a on dust2,he see&#39;s 2 guys jump in pit,before his screen blacks out,he yells to his team in vent 2PIT&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;,His team responds and blasts the 2 out of the pit and wins the round.The team files anti cheat claim,its reviewed  its dismmissed.<br /><br />Now on a public server 2 or more players on a vent channel can ghost with ease.<br /><br />INVERSELY the same scenario,save the death a long.team goes b with the bomb,2 go pit to distract,1 ct creeps around to long via t spawn,the 2 in pit never make a sound,the ct never looks thru the wall at pit,<br />he gets to the exit to longa approch and lobs a nade into pit,then flashes then aproaches and kills them both.the team loses the match,they do the anticheat claim,demo&#39;s requested,demo looks fishy,and the player mentions somthing when he rounds the corner at cat,its b,2 pit goin for them.= busted match overturned&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />The absolute most common thing I discovered in match play was the most &quot;succcessful teams&quot; used a one waller method,one would wall and coach the rest,and more often then not was the lower scoring player,the higher scoring player would get reviewed and be clean as a whistle,however reqeusting other players demo&#39;s would often reveal this,several other admins and myself proved this,SEVERAL TIMES&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />als to no avail the guy would not budge.<br /><br />When reviewing a demo consider all the factors,and now the wife is bothering me to do stuff,belive it or not&#33;&#33;&#33; <img src="http://www.clanlod.net/ipb/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheeky-smiley-005.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky-smiley-005:" border="0" alt="cheeky-smiley-005.gif" />
