AACGUARD features

Client-side anti-cheat for real CS:GO / CS 1.6 / CS2 community servers – focused on catching cheats and repeat offenders, not legit players.

Games

CS:GO / CS 1.6 / CS2

Focus

Cheats & loaders

Tied to

Steam identity

Integrates with

Existing servers

Made for communities

Client-side, admin-visible

AACGUARD runs next to your existing CS servers and plugins, giving you scan results, history and evidence you can actually act on.

Cheat-focused checks instead of random system scans.

Steam-linked scans so bans are tied to real identities.

Panel + history so you can justify actions to players.

Core behaviour

How AACGUARD fits around your servers

Cheat-focused

Signals only

Looks for loaders, injected modules, and cheat traces – not random overlays, music players or Discord.

Steam-linked

Identity-aware

Every scan is tied to Steam ID, Steam name and a clear verdict, so your bans map to real accounts.

Drop-in

Server-friendly

Runs next to your existing servers and plugins – no special host required, no migration from your stack.

Client scan engine

Only runs when the player chooses to scan

Scans run only when the player presses Start or Restart. Nothing is scanned silently in the background.

Processes & modules – checks running processes and DLLs for known cheats and loaders.
Files & traces – game folders, AppData, Downloads, Desktop, Recycle Bin, USB traces, Prefetch, Amcache, Shimcache, Run keys.
Configs – reads CS:GO / CS2 / Steam custom configs (including autoexec.cfg) that are not default.
Browser history – optional checks for cheat sites / searches as extra signals (where allowed).
Score-based verdicts – combines everything into CLEAN / SUSPICIOUS / CHEAT DETECTED with a numeric score.

Data & web panel

Evidence and stats, not guesswork

The panel is designed to help admins explain decisions, track repeat offenders, and show players that bans are based on something real.

Masked IPs – IPs stored only in masked form (for example 2*.42*.**.2*).
Public “data wall” – optional public list of scanned / detected players with verdicts.
Live stats – total scans, unique players, flags, last 24h detections.
Long-term history – scans kept so admins can see patterns across weeks and months.

Tech & roadmap

Built for today, aiming further

User-mode client today, designed to be safe next to VAC.
Panel stack – PHP + MariaDB panel on a VPS in Germany.
Edge & analytics – Cloudflare + analytics (Google Analytics, Matomo, etc.) for traffic and protection.
Roadmap – deeper / kernel-assisted checks where possible, more artifacts, and server plugins / APIs.
