# Anti Cheat Systems

> Analyze anti-cheat architecture and detection tradeoffs across client, kernel, hypervisor, and backend layers. Use for system-level defense design; use narrower skills for PCIe DMA or Windows kernel details.

# Anti-cheat systems

Use this skill for authorized defensive analysis of anti-cheat products and layered detection systems. Describe capabilities and limitations without assuming that a named product implements every technique in the reference material.

## Topic routing

Read only the reference that matches the task:

- [Systems and architecture](references/systems-and-architecture.md) for major products and user-mode, kernel, hypervisor, and server components.
- [Detection and telemetry](references/detection-and-telemetry.md) for memory, process, behavior, input, replay, and backend signals.
- [Threats and evasion](references/threats-and-evasion.md) for threat categories, DMA defense, platform security interactions, protection, heartbeat, and screenshots.
- [Research and resources](references/research-and-resources.md) for analysis methods, ethical constraints, and the source collection.

Use `game-hacking-techniques` to classify offensive implementations, `windows-kernel-security` for kernel details, and `dma-attack-techniques` for PCIe/IOMMU research. Separate confirmed product behavior from general defensive patterns and proposals.
