Since spotting a hacker in a demo has been a topic of much deliberation lately, I thought I would open a thread where players could post their methods of doing such and possibly we could all learn a bit from each other.
Please give not just a tip but an example as well. I will read them and then post them up here so people can read the most popular methods. I know that we as humans will never be able to spot a hacker every time but this is a start towards education for server owners.
First topic:
How to spot a recoil hack.
Example Demo involved in an investigation
The way to spot a recoil hacker is to do one or all of these things:
1. Look at there crosshair, see if it moves and by how much when they shoot.
2. Look at the playermodel. If it does not move back a cube (with SMG) when shot from a standing still position, somethings up.
3. Observe movement when the player is running and shooting.
