🔫 Anti-Cheat Valorant Live Detection

Valorant Anti-Cheat
for competitive tournaments

Riot's Vanguard doesn't give tournament organizers access to monitoring data. SkedAC provides a complete admin dashboard: screenshots, processes, DMA hardware indicators, overlays. An extra layer of security for your Valorant competitions.

For tournament organizers only.

What SkedAC detects on Valorant

Detections specific to the Valorant ecosystem, complementary to Vanguard for your community tournaments.

CRITICAL

DMA card bypassing Vanguard

Hardware DMA setups operate at the PCIe level, outside Vanguard's reach. They read game memory without any injected DLL. SkedAC detects the hardware indicators associated with these devices, even when they disguise themselves as a standard peripheral.

CRITICAL

Hardware aimbot (custom USB controller)

Some Valorant aimbots run on a USB microcontroller (Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico) that emulates a mouse and moves the cursor automatically. SkedAC inventories every USB/HID device and flags unrecognized or suspicious VID:PID.

HIGH

ESP overlay (transparent topmost window)

A Valorant ESP overlay creates a transparent window on top of the game to show enemy positions. SkedAC detects these windows by their system properties without relying on known process signatures.

HIGH

Suspicious Valorant parent process

If Valorant is launched by a process other than the official Riot Client, SkedAC raises an alert. Some loaders bypass Vanguard by manipulating the game's startup via an intermediate process.

MEDIUM

VPN active during the session

An active VPN can indicate an attempt to hide network identity or a connection from an unauthorized environment. SkedAC detects tunnel adapters and active network-masking software.

MEDIUM

Windows security modules disabled

Some Vanguard bypasses require disabling Memory Integrity (HVCI) or booting Windows without Secure Boot. SkedAC checks these modules every session and alerts immediately.

Complete, end-to-end monitoring

SkedAC scans the player's machine as soon as the software launches — before the match even starts. Your admins get actionable evidence, not guesswork.

Advanced hardware detection

PCIe, NVMe and USB/HID hardware analysis to detect hardware cheating devices — including the hardware indicators tied to DMA setups used to bypass software anti-cheats.

Active software analysis

Detection of cheats, code injection, suspicious overlays (wallhacks, ESP) and manipulation tools — whether active during the session or having left traces on the system.

Automatic screenshots

Multi-monitor captures at random, unpredictable intervals. Accessible only to your organization's admins. Actionable visual evidence for every ban decision.

Suspicious device detection

Identification of Cronus Zen, XIM and equivalent adapters that simulate aim assist or macros through controller emulation. Every connected device is analyzed on login, then rechecked at regular intervals throughout the session.

Windows system integrity

Checks the Windows security modules that, when disabled, are often a prerequisite for advanced cheats or malicious drivers.

Robust Machine ID

A unique fingerprint anchored in hardware (TPM 2.0, HWID), independent of the Discord account. A banned player can't simply come back with a new account or a new nickname.

Live Detection Throughout Every Match

From the moment a player connects to the alert reaching your staff, monitoring never stops.

  1. The player connects, verification begins

    At launch, SkedAC checks the machine's hardware and software configuration: drivers, connected devices, virtualization indicators.

  2. Monitoring continues throughout the session

    Processes, windows and devices are rechecked at regular intervals throughout the match — not just at connection.

  3. Staff receive alerts during the match

    Alerts and evidence are surfaced to your staff during the session to make quick review easier.

Not a PC check after the match. Active monitoring while it's being played.

A discreet client. A powerful dashboard.

The player sees a small app running in the background. Your admins get a full dashboard with real-time sessions, prioritized alerts, player profiles and AI analysis.

SkedAC player-side client — login interface

Frequently asked questions

Why use SkedAC if Vanguard is already running?
Vanguard protects Riot's public matchmaking but doesn't share its data with third-party tournament organizers. SkedAC gives you access to the raw data: screenshots, processes, hardware. You can investigate each session and make informed decisions for your competitions.
Can SkedAC detect a hardware aimbot on Valorant?
Yes. Hardware aimbots (USB microcontrollers, DMA cards) are exactly the category that software anti-cheats like Vanguard can't cover. SkedAC analyzes the machine's hardware: USB/HID inventory, PCIe devices, FPGA — and alerts on any suspicious device.
Does SkedAC interfere with Vanguard?
No. SkedAC operates independently of Vanguard, without injecting any DLL into the game process. Both systems coexist without conflict.
Can SkedAC be used for an amateur Valorant championship?
Yes, that's the typical use case. The Community plan (free) covers up to 128 players. For a seasonal league with more participants, the Pro plan (€49/month) includes AI analysis and white-label.
Does SkedAC detect DMA cards (hardware cheats)?
SkedAC detects advanced hardware indicators consistent with DMA setups and other PCIe/NVMe/HID anomalies frequently associated with hardware cheating devices. This kind of coverage is usually reserved for AAA solutions — SkedAC makes it accessible to community esports organizations.
Does SkedAC detect Cronus, XIM and other adapters?
Yes. Adapters that simulate automatic behavior (aim assist, macros) through device emulation are identified and flagged as high-priority alerts.
Does the SkedAC software slow down the PC or the game?
No. SkedAC is designed to be discreet: hardware scans run at login and then at regular intervals, screenshots are asynchronous and process snapshots are lightweight. The performance impact is negligible.
How do players log in?
Through their Discord account — one click, no SkedAC account to create. A single .exe file to distribute: the software configures itself for your organization.
Does SkedAC work on every game?
SkedAC works with PC games because monitoring happens at the player's machine level, independently of the game server. You simply configure the target process (e.g. FC26.exe, cod.exe) in your dashboard — without modifying the client or contacting anyone.
Is player data GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Screenshots are automatically deleted after 48h. Each admin signs a DPA (Data Processing Agreement) before accessing the dashboard. Data is strictly isolated between organizations — no cross-client leakage. Hosted in Europe.
Can a banned player come back with another account?
A banned player can't simply come back with a new Discord account or nickname. SkedAC identifies each machine with a robust hardware fingerprint (Machine ID), independent of the account. If a previously sanctioned machine reconnects, your admins are alerted immediately.
Can SkedAC be used without the Sked platform?
Yes, completely. SkedAC works independently. Running on Toornament, Discord or your own tool? SkedAC integrates frictionlessly — players log in via Discord only.
Does anything need to be installed on the game server?
No. SkedAC is a Windows application installed on the player's machine. No server-side integration, no modification of game files.
