--- name: anti-cheat-systems description: Analyze layered anti-cheat architecture, detection evidence, telemetry, and enforcement tradeoffs. Use for system-level defense questions; use narrower skills for DMA, kernel, graphics, mobile, or server details. --- # Anti-cheat systems Map the protected asset, attacker capability, observation point, detector, and enforcement authority. Separate confirmed product behavior from general defensive patterns. ## Topic routing - [Architecture and detection](references/architecture-and-detection.md) for products, client/kernel/backend layers, memory, process, behavior, and input signals. - [Research and threats](references/research-and-threats.md) for analysis methods, bypass categories, platform interactions, protection, telemetry, and ethics. - [Repository map](references/repository-map.md) and [repository resources](references/repository-resources.md) for collection-backed source selection. - [Input provenance](references/input-provenance-and-measurement.md), [detector operations](references/detector-operations.md), or [network evidence](references/network-environment-evidence.md) for those specific evidence questions. Use `dma-attack-techniques`, `windows-kernel-security`, `graphics-api-hooking`, `mobile-security`, or `game-server-security` when that boundary dominates. Apply `game-security-research-rigor` to consequential or disputed claims. --- Source attribution: gmh5225 Original project: https://github.com/gmh5225/awesome-game-security/blob/82c2a543f093ec0067ffc5683e591f3a07a735fa/.claude/skills/anti-cheat/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2022 gmh Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
