Hypixel's New Cheat Detection: Watchdog - Thoughts...
Hi everyone.

You may be aware that Hypixel have just released information about their new cheat detection project that's due to go live in a few days. I just wanted to create a thread where we could discuss it etc.

Hypixel Forum Post

Something that came to my attention is this part of the post:

"I've used a program (such as "regedit") to change how my TCP settings work - will that be detected?"

"Yes, that will certainly be detected. The process for undoing this is quite complex. We suggest you remove that immediately."

The reason that this is a problem is that Archy posted a tutorial on how to change TCP settings to improve latency, but Hypixel seem to disallow it. Therefore, we now can't have this 'modification' as it is a computer-wide change, not per application. Do you think you could clarify why Badlion allow this 'modification', or why you think that Hypixel disallows it @Archybot?

Cheers.

@tohle It'd be interesting to see how well their system works compared to GCheat… Maybe Archy and Gberry could compare notes with the Hypixel team ;)

Hypixel treats their anticheat like a real person and if it detects something as "cheats", it is cheats no matter what.
They don't allow togglesprint either apparently… Considering the amount of people that use regedit, togglesprint, and hacks I think Hypixel's numbers are going to go down the tubes

@FunkyFactions I completely agree with you. It seems to me that Hypixel are going to treat 'Watchdog' as a be-all and end-all so that if you're banned by the system, you were 'definitely' cheating unless you give explicit evidence that states otherwise. I guess that it's a step in the right direction in terms of changing minecraft anti-cheat into a system similar to VAC. Unless Hypixel have been developing this system for an extended period of time, I can't imagine that it'll surpass GCheat in terms of effectiveness.

I think the Hypixel's new anti-cheat is going to work great. See the sarcasm?
It obviously spawns NPCs around you, and if you've got a 10 block reach hacks and aimbot you will get kicked if you try to hit the NPCs. Also, jumping into water works well too, you just take double the damage than what you used to. I'm pretty sure the code is something like:

java.lang.nullFaggotOccuredExpection
ösöföxksjxk /kill %player% = IF KDR is 5 or more = true
KICK paid-ranks=FALSE

—–

In all seriousness, I think that this can't compete with GCheat.


If you read this post all the way to the end, you deserve a cappucino

LOL

Where's my cappuccino?

Btw, I pretty sure their current anti-cheat doesn't work by spawning an invisible entity entity around the player. This system is incredibly easy to bypass (like ridiculously) so I don't think they're that stupid.

@torace Yep. I have to agree with you that I can't see how this can compete with GCheat.

They claim they can detect togglesneak which is obviously a lie. I doubt it will be better than GCheat.

@ItsTene I mean I guess they could look at whether you're sneaking whilst inside an inventory or something, although I don't know if it's even possible to do that.

If they do end up blocking a lot of popular mods for the client, they'll surely drop in numbers.

I don't believe that there is a need to speculate until it is released.

Also, it's pretty clear that their 'banwaves' are a complete copy of Badlion's "Judgement day"…
