There are certain outcomes that are known in the game and can be checked, for example, a bullet should not change the direction while traveling, but because the server is what manages all of the checking, performance, and impact done on the game and the server should be considered. How the architecture is built for the client interaction with the server can also improve the protection. For example, strings (cheat names or scripts), program certificates, memory patterns, register entries, or simple file scanning. To detect the external program that tries to inject some of its codes or files to cheat, all of the anti-cheat programs have to detect a specific pattern that the cheat might use. Part of the prevention process is Ring0 kernel agent which uses a combination of DLL Whitelist and/or OB_callback routines as a way to prevent the game process from external hooks.
