Abstract

With the increase in popularity, gaming has become one of the major industries, and cheating in video games is also increasingly common nowadays as everyone wants the top spot. Reduced game traffic is usually caused due to the drastic increase in cheaters, and, at the same time, cheats sold online, resulting in the lower income generated for the studios.

Because of the cheaters in the gaming industry, game developers have developed and deployed numerous anti-cheating strategies. Installing an application with kernel-level access to the client's system is mandatory for a few anti-cheat strategies, and most gamers are concerned about their security and privacy in this aspect. A few issues with the OS caused by the anti-cheat software have been documented; the registered users have claimed that the application reportedly leads to upgrades failing.

With machine learning methods and statistical analysis, this study seeks to identify cheaters from players while protecting one's privacy and personal information.
