Rigmod Detection
How Donut SMP admins detect gambling cheats, and why packet-silent rigs sit outside most detection paths.
Anti-cheat compares server state to client reports. A silent rig gives it nothing to compare.
rigmod detection, compared honestly — what the alternatives actually do, and where each one breaks.
Most tools in this space fall into three buckets: single-game scripts that break on plugin updates, full cheat clients with a gambling module bolted on, and repacked rats with a familiar name. A resolution-layer rig is a fourth thing and it behaves differently.
Frequency analysis is the realistic detection vector, which is what weighting and caps address.
The trade-off is scope. A resolution-layer rig only touches games that resolve client-side, which is exactly the set Donut SMP uses for blackjack, the paper game and coinflips. It will not touch a server-authoritative roll, and nothing claiming otherwise is telling you the truth.
What it covers
- Resolution-layer vs single-game script
- No packet mutation, nothing to diff
- Survives plugin updates
- Smaller footprint than a cheat client
- Honest about what it cannot touch
