VenusAC AntiCheat: Advanced Monitoring Built-In
VenusAC AntiCheat includes sophisticated monitoring capabilities that integrate seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure, providing real-time threat detection and automated response capabilities specifically designed for FiveM environments.
Real-Time Threat Detection Systems
Player Behavior Analytics
Monitor player actions and identify patterns that deviate from normal behavior:
Movement Patterns
- • Impossible speed detection
- • Teleportation identification
- • No-clip behavior analysis
- • Flying detection algorithms
Interaction Analysis
- • Rapid-fire weapon detection
- • Impossible damage calculations
- • Resource spawning anomalies
- • Economy manipulation detection
Machine Learning Integration
Implement machine learning models for sophisticated threat detection:
Supervised Learning Models
Train on known cheat patterns to identify similar behaviors
Unsupervised Anomaly Detection
Identify previously unknown attack patterns and zero-day exploits
Reinforcement Learning
Continuously improve detection accuracy based on feedback
Statistical Analysis
// Example: Statistical anomaly detection
function detectAnomalousActivity(playerData) {
const mean = calculateMean(playerData.actions);
const stdDev = calculateStandardDeviation(playerData.actions);
const threshold = mean + (2 * stdDev);
return playerData.currentActivity > threshold;
}
// Z-score calculation for outlier detection
function calculateZScore(value, mean, stdDev) {
return (value - mean) / stdDev;
}Pattern Recognition
// Example: Pattern matching for cheat detection
const suspiciousPatterns = [
{ name: 'rapid_fire', threshold: 0.05 },
{ name: 'impossible_speed', threshold: 100 },
{ name: 'teleportation', distance: 1000, time: 1 }
];
function checkPatterns(playerActions) {
return suspiciousPatterns.some(pattern =>
matchesPattern(playerActions, pattern)
);
}Automated Response and Mitigation
Threat Response Hierarchy
Low-Level Threats
Response: Log and monitor
- • Increase monitoring frequency for the player
- • Send alert to moderation team
- • Create detailed activity log
- • No immediate action taken
Medium-Level Threats
Response: Restrict and investigate
- • Temporarily limit player capabilities
- • Trigger screenshot capture
- • Notify administrators immediately
- • Begin evidence collection
High-Level Threats
Response: Immediate isolation
- • Instant player removal from server
- • Automatic ban implementation
- • Evidence package creation
- • Alert all online administrators
Critical Threats
Response: Server protection mode
- • Activate server-wide protection protocols
- • Implement emergency security measures
- • Contact server owner immediately
- • Prepare for potential server restart
Screenshot System
- • Automatic screenshot on detection
- • Multiple angle captures
- • Timestamp and metadata inclusion
- • Secure storage and encryption
- • Integration with Discord webhooks
Data Logging
- • Player action history
- • Network traffic analysis
- • System resource usage
- • Communication logs
- • Forensic data preservation
