Hi All! Rem here, 
Forgot to mention I didn't play competitive at all. I also down tuned the aimbot down to be around the same level as the other players I encountered during Swift or unrated play to try and not be disruptive to those games as well. Only the first clips are of gameplay I recorded, the other cheating footage is from gameplay I've found posted by other cheaters.

Since I am getting a few comments about it, I used AI voice because I was in a bad accident that renders it difficult for me to speak, so TTS allows me to vocalize. Technology is amazing :3

I know this video is long delayed, I've been working on it for a long time now.
This video serves as a precursor to future videos, so at times explanations in this video will be oversimplified in order to better understand the concept.
There are chapters in this video if you need a refresher on a particular subject, or if you are only interested in learning about a particular cheating methods. 

I wanted to explore how cheaters get around root level anti cheats, especially since there is a call for Valve to implement one for CS2, so that they don't have to rely on 3rd party anti-cheats like faceit.
I chose to look at this from the perspective of Valorant's anti-cheat Vanguard, as it has the largest player base using a kernel anti-cheat, and is most often cited as an example of an anti-cheat that Valve should implement for Counter Strike.


This video is not meant to glorify cheating or encourage cheating, but rather to explore it as a technical topic. 
I hope you all enjoy.

@aarkyyd

next Vanguard update = Riot sending an employee to your home while you are playing ranked to watch you.

@gibbeldon

As someone with background in computer science I really love the level of detail in this video.

@Kyle-qn9ci

The mods on the Valorant subreddit completely nuked the comment chain discussing this video 😒

@nadirqg

It's really nice to see someone deep dive into the technical side of the cheating problem. Most people talk about the drama around it but very few have the skills to explain the technical details behind it. Well done.

@christophergash8460

I do not EVER post comments on videos, but as a cybersecurity professional, game dev, and adamant game junky. This is one of the best videos I have ever watched, I loved every second of this. You have 100% earned my respect and my subscription.

@matom208

I don't understand why yt recommended me this video since I haven't even played a single Valorant match in my entire life, but I really liked it. Very informative and easy to follow.

@Denis-nh5bv

It's uncanny how good the ai narrator is. Good job on the production, you blew my hat off

@nexhi991

This video explains so well what I've been feeling recently. In CSGO I was playing on above 4k elo for some years now and I've met plenty of Pros in my lobbies and even was a invited to FPL-C. While playing premium matchmaking on Faceit with my mates I've faced players that have no HLTV, no records on ever playing in any tournament, qualifiers or whatever and they were absolute monsters in every aspect of the game. Just something felt off while playing against them all the time. They were so confident, so aware but also implimented failing in their gameplay sometimes. Now just imagine how hard it is to spot these cheaters. When you are a good player that managed to go beyond 4k elo, your cheat only needs to be active during maybe pistol rounds or other clutch rounds to win a game. When I saw all these videos and reddit threads and also some discord leaks of semi pros actually using DMA, I gave up on trying to go competitive. I withdrew from fplc and only played for fun. As long as this plague of hackers is not diminished alot, it makes no sense to play.

@Harukoon92

Having majored in Computer Science I understand your coverage infinitely more than I would've years ago. I love the level of detail showcased in this video. You're kill'n it. Keep at it.

@Maypopx

This is the most accurate video I've seen in my life on the topic of cheating. I just hate how valorant players think that vanguard is good compared to other anticheats like faceit. I really hope this video blows up and more people see it!

@underscorenul

As someone who dabbles in hobby OS dev, compilers, interpreters, etc, you did a great job simplifying the complex concepts of how these anticheats work. And it was a great introduction to the topic of how cheats still work despite these rootkit-style anticheats. Thanks for the fascinating video, and I’m glad YouTube recommended it! You’ve got a sub from me!

@MTweedC4

I didnt expect this video to be so well made! Well done, was a pleasure to watch

@eymongaming7217

Mans casually dropped the hardest video on cheating ever and thought we wouldn't notice

@kingpurest6279

Only 1.8k subs for this high quality piece is nuts. I'll be tuning in from now on

@BlueprintHD

This is actually a really good, informative, well produced video. Appreciate your time and effort. After playing cs for over 20 years, reaching relatively high lvls, i have quit cs2 recently and went to valorant. As i am ranking up (diamond right now) I sometimes came across people who would have the craziest reflexes, and I couldn't say they were smurfing as I have experienced high lvl cs gameplay and even there this would be abnormal. But I believed the anticheat to be very strong, so I figured I might just have become older and slower. I guess that might not be the reason

@Maximus0451

Man, where were you when I was doing my computer architecture and digital systems design course? You could’ve taught me everything I needed to know in just a few hours. Good work on the video. It completely changed the way I think about anti-cheats.

@boycycle

Thanks to the YouTube recommendations I found this one. I really enjoyed watching this video. A rare find, production wise, compared to other clickbaity videos on this topic. I find it quite hilarious how far the human creativity goes just to earn an advantage in an online game. I also thought that Vanguard was the unbeatable endboss for all cheat developers, guess I was wrong. Left a sub and looking forward to more content like this! :D

@vike256

It's rare to see such a high-quality and interesting video in this field of topic.

@didierno-cil

This video is actually interesting and tells knowledge unlike 99% of vids on the matter, good work
