Detection of a Novel Object-Detection-Based Cheat Tool for First-Person Shooter Games Using Machine Learning

Detection of novel game cheating tools is critical for ensuring fair online play. Such cheating tools are visual-based and effectively avoid detection because they do not change the data of game software. With the development and popularity of artificial intelligence technology, it has become easier for individuals to develop cheating tools, such as a new cheating tool for first-person shooter games that searches for characters on the game screen and automatically targets them. Therefore, in this study, a new cheat detection method is proposed using machine learning. The proposed method can be used to detect new cheating tools based on object detection.
