ECD Helper

ECD or EasyCheatDetector is the latest cheat scanner for Counter-Strike 1.6. One of the most effective tools to combat cheaters. The scanner works as follows:
1) The server admin requests a suspicious player to undergo a scan
2) The player, without leaving the server, downloads EasyCheatDetector.exe and runs it
3) After the scan, a report is generated on our website, and the admin can check whether the player is cheating and make further decisions
For more details, see the ECD main page

ECD Helper Plugin greatly simplifies the scanning process, from explaining how and where to download, to auto-banning. Convenient menu, flexible settings, automatic upload of scan results via API, of course auto-ban, and many other features — everything has been thought through in detail.

Commands

ecd_menu or /scan - open the player menu
ecd_scan - start or cancel a player scan
ecd_start_all - start scanning all players (server console only)
ecd_stop_all - stop scanning all players (server console only)

How it works

• Admin opens the menu using the console command ecd_menu or /scan in chat
• The player menu is in the style of FG Menu, as in all our plugins
• You can also type /scan player_name in chat to open a menu with players having that name
• The menu shows who has recently been scanned and who is currently being scanned
• The admin selects a player and clicks: Start Scan
• Depending on the plugin settings, the player sees an MOTD window with detailed instructions. The window cannot be closed for 5 seconds, ensuring the player reads it. Information is also written to chat and console (in case the player’s build does not support MOTD). A message is displayed in the HUD as well, with a countdown to auto-ban to encourage completing the scan. All of this is configurable in the plugin settings
• The player is moved to spectators during the scan and cannot rejoin until the scan is completed
• The player is warned that leaving the server will result in an automatic ban. The player must remain on the server during the scan to prevent unloading cheats or cleaning their system, otherwise the scan is meaningless
• Once the player runs the scan, the plugin sends API requests to our website to check the scan results. When the plugin receives the report, it automatically notifies the admin, plays a sound, and based on the report status, performs the following actions:
• If status is "Clean" - shows an MOTD to the player thanking them for completing the scan
• If status is "Suspicious" - shows a different MOTD to the player, and the admin sees a menu with a link to the report. The admin then decides whether to ban the player, with a button in the menu for this
• If status is "Cheats Detected" or "Scanner Bypass" - the player is automatically banned. In the config, you can enable a menu for the admin to confirm the ban

Various small details are considered, for example, admin menu buttons are inactive for the first few seconds to prevent accidental bans. Changing the map does not ban a player who completed the scan. Admin flag hierarchy prevents scanning higher-ranked admins. And many other features — check the video, screenshots, and config for details.

Requirements

• cURL or gRIP - for automatic report upload (modules included with the plugin)
• AMXMODX 1.9.0 or higher - also for automatic report upload
• ReAPI and ReChecker - to determine the player’s OS and unique ID

The plugin works on any AMXX version and HLDS/REHLDS, though some features may be unavailable on older builds

IMPORTANT! You need to modify your AFK plugin so it does not kick players during scans. This can be done using natives. Our AfkKicker RBS supports ECD, as do some other AFK plugins.

P.S. Anti-cheat on the server is good, but software running directly on the player’s computer is much more effective. We already have over 10,000 reports; players gradually get used to being asked to scan and now understand the process. Check your regular players—you might be surprised ;)
